Color grading is a post-production process used in filmmaking, photography, and video production to enhance or alter the colors of an image or video footage. It involves adjusting the color balance, contrast, brightness, and saturation to achieve a specific mood, atmosphere, or artistic effect. Color grading is an essential step in the overall visual storytelling process, as it can significantly impact the way the audience perceives a scene or an entire project.In filmmaking and video production, color grading is typically done during the post-production phase, after the footage has been shot and edited. It is usually performed using specialized software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or other dedicated color grading tools.
