ACES LITE

LOOK LIBRARY

FALL 2026
UPDATE

• COLOR SPACE AGNOSTIC LOOKS

• Works identiclly in:
  • ACES, 
  • DaVinci Wide Gamut or
  • Any other working color space

All looks in the library have gone through a color space agnostification process, so you're no longer tied to ACEScct. Drag and drop the looks into whatever working color space your pipeline already uses.

• 2 NEW LOOKS

• Clear Contrast
• TrueCool

Clear Contrast adds clarity and poppiness with minimal effect on the underlying color character — use it on its own, or stack it with other looks. TrueCool is a bluish, cool look built for documentary-style footage, inspired by the Netflix show Adolescence.

• NEW COMPRESSION NODE

• 3 compression methods
• Add after any look in the library

The compression node can be added after any look to compress the tonal range down to a pleasing, soft result — especially effective for creating soft, filmic looks.
