code behind the camera · color study
Bring a reference,
leave with a recipe.
Upload a photo whose color you admire. This tool reads the finished pixels in Lab space and hands back directional editing targets: palette, white balance, contrast, and the tonal-zone grade, in Lightroom dialect. Honest fine print: it measures a finished image to guide your own edit; it cannot recover the original preset, and it does not try to.

The reference
Built on the same canvas color utilities as Code Behind the Camera. Same pixels, more opinions.
