The Prompt

Do not change the subject's identity, facial features, pose, clothing, background elements, mountains, or geography in any way — this is a color grading task only, not a regeneration task. Apply a Hollywood blockbuster teal-and-orange grade: push all shadow tones and dark background areas (rocks, foliage, sky shadows) toward deep teal/cyan ( #1a3a3a range), push skin tones and warm midtones toward orange-amber ( #e08c4f range) while keeping skin looking natural and not overly orange, increase contrast using a filmic S-curve with deeper blacks (crush blacks slightly, retain shadow detail), reduce overall saturation by 10% then selectively boost only orange and teal channels by 25%, add subtle chromatic separation between warm and cool zones for depth, apply a slight desaturated look to greens so they lean teal instead of pure green, add fine cinematic grain and a soft anamorphic-style vignette, sharpen the subject's eyes and facial details subtly without oversharpening skin texture. Output should resemble a professionally color-graded movie still, shot on a full-frame DSLR/mirrorless camera.
Subject Existing subject identity, facial features, pose, clothing, and details are preserved entirely, as this is a color grading task.
Environment Existing background elements, mountains, and geography are maintained, with only their color tones adjusted to deep teal/cyan in shadows and dark areas.
Lighting The color grading applies a Hollywood blockbuster teal-and-orange aesthetic, pushing shadow tones toward deep teal/cyan and warm midtones/skin tones toward orange-amber, with increased filmic contrast.
Style Professionally color-graded movie still style, featuring fine cinematic grain, a soft anamorphic-style vignette, and subtle sharpening of facial details, resembling a full-frame DSLR/mirrorless camera output.

Pro Tips for Better Results

  • Always upload a high-resolution base image to allow the AI to apply the detailed color grading and fine grain effectively.
  • If the skin tones appear too orange, slightly reduce the '#e08c4f' range in the prompt to a more desaturated amber value.
  • Experiment with varying the 'reduce overall saturation by X%' value to find the perfect balance for your specific image.
  • To emphasize the cinematic depth, ensure your original image has clear warm and cool zones for the chromatic separation to enhance.
  • Combine this prompt with specific aspect ratio requests (e.g., '2.35:1 aspect ratio') in your initial image generation for an even more authentic movie feel.
