JM Powergrade

This PowerGrade is my full look system,  not a drop-in LUT and not something you stack on top of random nodes. It already includes a proper CST, so you’re not dealing with double transforms, blown highlights, or washed-out footage. You drop it in, tweak exposure, CST node, white balance, and you’re basically there.

I built this to feel cinematic but still clean. It has halation for highlight bloom, film grain for texture, glow for softer roll-off, and smoothing to keep skin natural without turning it plastic. The goal wasn’t to make something flashy — it was to make something you could actually use on real projects.

This is the best PowerGrade I’ve made so far. It’s designed to take log footage to a finished look in one controlled pipeline, without needing extra plugins or guessing how things should be set up. If you want a consistent film-style look that still feels modern and usable, this is it.
