## What is FARGLO?

Build color. Don't just choose it.

FARGLO is a focused iPhone color grading studio for photographers who want layered control, RAW-aware editing, film texture, and clean export workflows.

Shape a look with non-destructive layers:
- Primary tone and color controls
- Curves, HSL, Color Mixer, Density, Memory Color, and CST
- Atelier Mix for expressive color blending
- Film Response for digital positives
- Grain, halation, chromatic aberration, vignette, crop, and frame finishing
- Before/After comparison while you edit

FARGLO Studio expands the workflow for repeat editing:
- Import .cube LUTs as adjustable LUT nodes
- Export your color grade as a 33-point .cube LUT
- Copy selected layers and apply looks across photos
- Export HEIC and 16-bit TIFF, not only JPEG
- Create 4:5, 9:16, and 1:1 social layouts
- Export before/after contact sheets
- Convert real color-negative scans with Negative Lab
- Work with up to 100 active photos and unlimited saved presets

FARGLO keeps the editing environment quiet:
- No account required
- No ads
- No tracking
- No automatic photo uploads

For photographers who want more than presets, and a mobile workflow that still feels intentional.
