    Look dev that listens.
    Intelligent color science that adapts in real time to your creative intent.
    Every module translates your slider moves into looks that are aesthetic on every shot
    and won't break, no matter how far you push.


    Great looks by design.

    Contour walks you through look design in order of impact - Curve, Split, Saturation, Split Saturation, Density, Hue. Each module builds on the last, so however much time you have, it goes to what matters most.

    LUTs that travel.

    Export any look you build in Contour as a LUT that works beautifully across every shot - from production to post, without breaking.

    Contrast without compromise.

    Seven independent control points that don't fight each other.
    Shape your highlights without throwing off your shadows. Adjust your toe without
    shifting your shoulder. The curve adapts to your intent, so every move lands cleanly.


    Split-toning without the side effects.

    No unwanted tinting of neutrals. No dusty skies. No oversaturated skin. Contour uses advanced saturation masking to cleanly exclude neutral areas, preserves colors near middle gray to keep skin natural, and protects your blacks and bright highlights - so you can push your split further without showing your hand. On-screen swatches get you to your colors fast, and Subtractive sliders let you finesse how the split interacts with your contrast decisions.

    Saturation that sings.

    Where other saturation tools go flat or neon, Contour retains detail and natural color relationships.
    Three independent sliders for low, mid, and high saturation let you reshape color across the image - then Versus sliders use patent-pending color science to selectively separate colors, adding depth and dimension in seconds.


    Color weight where you want it.

    Contour's density module cleanly differentiates saturated colors, adding organic weight without noise or artifacting. Versus sliders let you tune the behavior independently across RGBCMY, and a Focus slider adjusts saturation tolerance to give you precise control over where density lands.

    Hue how you see it.

    Contour's Hue module targets colors the way we perceive them, not how abstract color science defines them - so what you reach for is what you get. Saturation-sensitive targeting lets you do things like manipulate reds without touching skin tones. It adapts its math to your look in real time, and works consistently across ACES, Davinci Wide Gamut, and LogC3.

    Contrast without crunch.

    Shape contrast by adjusting saturation independently in dark and light areas of the image. Your image feels more dynamic and dimensional - without the harshness or detail loss that comes from pushing traditional contrast. This 'saturation contrast' is a huge part of what makes films from The Wizard of Oz to John Wick feel richly saturated but never garish.

    @BAiLiN - when I merged threads, I had to choose which thread to place your combined Windows/Mac post for version 2.2.2 into. Since the conversation resulting from your post was focused on Mac, I moved your post to the Mac thread.

    Would you mind posting the windows version over here?
