LogLab is a focused, professional color grading tool for iPhone. Import footage shot in Log, Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log2/C-Log3, DJI D-Log, or Apple Log, and grade it with accurate, colorimetrically grounded log-to-Rec.709 conversion built right into a real-time Metal-powered preview. MANUAL GRADING Fine-tune exposure, white balance (temperature & tint), highlights, shadows, saturation, contrast, and film-style grain with precise, responsive sliders. LUTS Browse a set of built-in creative looks, or import your own — either a standalone .cube LUT or a full DaVinci Resolve .drx still-grade setting. LUT thumbnails update live to reflect your log format and manual adjustments, so you always see an accurate preview before committing. ASPECT RATIO Crop to 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 4:5, or 9:16 right in the preview — centered and distortion-free, so your grade is ready for whatever platform you're posting to.
