## What is ToneChef?

ToneChef turns any reference photo into ready-to-dial-in camera settings — powered by AI that actually understands your camera. ToneChef also acts as a manager to store and share your favorite recipes. 

HOW IT WORKS
1. Upload reference photos with a look you love
2. Pick your camera model
3. Get a complete recipe: film simulation, image control, creative look, picture control, and more

BUILT-IN CAMERA KNOWLEDGE
This isn't generic AI guessing. ToneChef has a deeply-curated knowledge base for every supported camera — the exact parameter names, valid ranges, steps, and creative quirks. It knows that Fujifilm uses Film Simulations, Ricoh uses Image Controls, Sony uses Creative Looks, and Nikon uses Picture Controls.  

Every recipe it generates uses real settings you can enter directly into your camera.

SUPPORTED CAMERAS
• Fujifilm X100VI, X-T5, X-Pro3, X-S20, X100F
• Ricoh GRIIIx, GRIII, GR IV, GR IV Monochrome
• Sony A7C II, A6700
• Nikon Zf

WHAT YOU GET IN EVERY RECIPE
• Base mode (Film Simulation, Image Control, Creative Look, or Picture Control)
• All adjustable parameters (tone, contrast, color, clarity, sharpness, grain, and more)
• White balance mode and fine-tune values
• Suggested exposure compensation
• Film stock style reference (e.g. Inspired by Kodak Portra 400)
• Explanation of why each setting was chosen

Upload multiple photos from the same shoot for even more accurate results. Save your favorites, browse your history, and copy settings to share with friends.
