Stop spending hours hunting for recipes and tweaking settings by trial and error. ToneChef takes a reference photo, a text description, or both — and reverse-engineers a recipe tailored to your exact camera, so you get closer to your desired look straight out of camera.
Upload 1–4 reference photos, describe the vibe you want in words — like "warm faded film" or "cool minimal street" — or combine both.
Choose your specific camera model so every setting — modes, ranges, and parameters — matches what you can actually dial in.
Our analysis engine measures the colour, tone, and contrast from the pixels and maps them to real in-camera settings for your camera.
When you upload a photo, ToneChef doesn't guess, it measures. Our analysis pipeline extracts dozens of properties from the actual pixels — then maps them to the precise dials and menus on your camera.
Highlight rolloff, shadow depth, contrast distribution, and histogram shape are measured right out of the source photos.
Saturation curves, colour temperature, and tint are extracted so your recipe's white balance and colour dials land right.
Film grain character, noise levels, and sharpness profile are identified so the recipe reproduces the same tactile feel.
Every measurement is translated through a hand-built knowledge base of your camera's specific modes, ranges, and quirks.
We've hand-built a detailed knowledge base for every supported camera — exact parameter names, valid ranges, step increments, and quirks. We run all this data through our neural engine and output settings your camera actually has, with the exact values you need to easily dial in.
Our deterministic image analysis engine feeds hard measurements into a custom AI model that understands how each camera renders colour and tone. The result: settings that recreate styles from photos you love and make your visions a reality.
Have a reference photo you love? Upload it. Want a moody, desaturated film look? Just describe it. Combine both for the most precise results. ToneChef meets you where your inspiration starts.
Every recipe gives you real in-camera settings — not Lightroom sliders or abstract suggestions. Grab your camera, dial in your custom values, and start shooting!
Upload a photo or just describe the look you want, pick your camera, and get settings you can shoot with right away. Includes 5 free recipes. No card required.
