This is very impressive! If I could recommend something, it would be to talk about how this solves the frustrations you had with usual tool and how they are solved here. At first glance I assumed it was just a custom bank of luts, but it's actually a novel UI to interact with color. Great job! Edit: It took me months to figure out how I like grading and coloring in Resolve and Lightroom, and a tool like this makes understanding what's happening and making what you want seemingly easier.

Thank you!! I've been trying to find the right balance between using technical lingo and not scaring novice users away. I think the absolute best way to learn how it solves these frustrations is by seeing it work on real images. I go into more technical detail in the user guide at https://color.io/user-guide/get-started https://color.io/user-guide/get-started, which includes both explanations of how the tools work and how the approach is fundamentally different to most other tools. For example, here's an excerpt from "Shadow and Highlight Scattering": Light scattering plays a significant role in determining the colors that we perceive in the physical world. It influences the way light interacts with different materials and environments, and ultimately affects the way that we see colors and their intensity, saturation, and hue. The specific physical effect responsible for ambient color tints in the physical world is a combination of the Tyndall Effect and Rayleigh Scattering after which the response behaviour of the scattering wheels are modelled. Use the shadow scattering wheel to add ambient color to the shadows of an image. Unlike traditional color wheels, scattering holds on to the naturally occurring shadow colors in an image longer and tints dark pixels in a way that is consistent with light behaviour in the physical world.
