Product clean white: pure whites and exact colour on white

Strong white balance, held highlights and a gentle lift so a white sweep stays white without the edges of the product burning out.

Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Product clean white at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it

E-commerce on white or light grey, jewellery and watches, flat lays of rings and stationery.

When we wouldn't

Warm lifestyle product shots. Neutral everything is the point here, and it reads cold on a candlelit table.

The recipe

These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.

Tone curve Dashed line: no change. Points are where the look bends the curve.
Colour grading No grading. The colour comes from the camera and the sliders.
  • Exposuremore
  • Contrastmore
  • Highlightsless
  • Shadowsmore
  • Warmthless
  • Vibrancemore
SlidersEach bar starts at the centre: right means more, left means less. The scale is CullTone's own, so it doesn't map one to one onto Lightroom's sliders.

Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
