On this page
The example images and downloads preserve the original grade. In 1.12, Film Print appears before Split Tone; nine existing print looks were tuned. Older screenshots may use the previous layout. Check what changed when matching an existing project.
The look
The flat source leaves plenty of room in the station lights and the red top. The grade restores a clean white point, gives the blue train real depth, and holds the subject's skin apart from both without neutralising the cool location.

Make it yours
Nothing is baked into a LUT. The controls stay live, so you can pull back the cyan in the station, soften the contrast, or protect a different skin tone without rebuilding the grade.
For a wider frame from the same metro shoot, the first Metro Portrait is a separate free PowerGrade with its own before-and-after.
Metro Portrait II uses Helios Grade. The free version is watermarked and never expires, so you can inspect the grade and test every control before buying. Any current offer is shown on the product page.
