Color grade multiple image files simultaneously to make sure they all have a consistent look and feel.

  1. Select Creative Production on the Firefly homepage.

  2. Select the Color grade module.

    On the Creative Production page, three different modules are available for use. The Color Grade module is selected.
    Apply color grading to multiple image files at once to achieve a consistent look across all outputs.

  3. Select From device to upload multiple JPG or PNG files from a local device, or use Connect to storage to directly upload images from your cloud storage, such as Dropbox or AEM.

    In the Upload images section, there are options to upload images from device or online storage.
    Upload multiple images to apply color grading with Auto-tone preset or custom presets.

  4. In the Preset variations section, enable the Auto-tone preset option to automatically enhance the tone of your uploaded images with the most suitable adjustments. These adjustments fine-tune image properties such as brightness, contrast, exposure, shadows, highlights, and color balance.

    In the Preset variations section, Auto Tone preset is selected.
    Automatically enhance the tone of your uploaded images by enabling the Auto-tone preset option in the Preset variations section.

  5. If you have custom presets that you want to apply to get a different set of processed outputs, enable the Custom presets option. Then, upload XMP files with custom presets from your device or online storage.

    In the Preset variations section, Custom preset is selected and there are options to upload XMP files from device or online storage.
    Select the Custom preset option to upload XMP files and apply your personalized color grading adjustments.

  6. With multiple custom preset files uploaded, select one or more at a time.

    Under the Custom presets section, there are options to upload XMP files. There are multiple presets uploaded and one of the selected for processing.
    Upload multiple presets to color grade the images simultaneously and get multiple processed outputs.

    For example, if you upload 100 images and apply three custom presets to each, you'll generate 300 processed images. Each of the 100 images will have three versions, one for each preset. Additionally, if you select Auto-tone preset, the total number of processed images will increase to 400, as it adds another 100 outputs processed separately with Auto-tone preset.

  7. Select Continue.

  8. In the Final processing details dialog box, enter a name for the job and select Process.

    You will receive an email with the link to download the images in JPG format. Additionally, you can also use the Job log tab to view the status and download the outputs.

Here are examples with the original image and the processed versions next to it—one using the Auto-tone preset and another with a custom preset.
