Matching color across a photo set
Consistency across a set matters more than perfection in any single frame. This sequence gets sets aligned fast.
The five steps
Neutralize white balance using a known reference, align exposure to a mid-tone anchor, match contrast curves, unify saturation, then apply your creative grade last — always on top of a consistent technical base.
Why grade last?

Frequently asked questions
Should I edit one image fully then copy settings?
Copy global settings as a starting point, but verify each frame individually — light changes between shots, and blind copying is how color drift creeps in.
