Background Tone
Color-grade just a photo's background — keep the subject untouched, match tone across a whole feed.
What is Background Tone?
Background Tone adjusts the hue, saturation, and brightness of only the background in a photo, leaving the subject itself untouched.
It's built for a specific job: matching the background tone across a batch of photos so a carousel post or an entire feed reads as visually consistent, without applying one blanket filter that also changes how the subject looks in every shot.
How it works

Any image with a clear main subject.

Only the area behind the subject changes.

Match the same tone target across multiple photos for a consistent feed.

Who it's for
