About This Script

Creates gradient map adjustment layers from your choice of colors or built-in cinematic presets. Includes 20+ LUT-inspired presets (Teal & Orange, Moody Blue, Golden Hour, Film Noir, Cross Process, etc.). You can create custom gradient maps by selecting 2-5 colors, and the script will smoothly interpolate between them. The adjustment layer is non-destructive with adjustable opacity and blend mode. Can be applied to single layers or as a top-level adjustment for the entire document. Perfect for color grading photos, creating stylized illustrations, and developing consistent visual themes.
