A grading duel,
photo by photo.
grading.game is a photo color-grading game. You're given an image — a RAW file, a negative scan, a flat export — and a time limit to develop it in the software of your choice before re-importing it into the round.
In multiplayer, every submission is then revealed anonymously. Each player rates the others' grades (except their own). A winner is declared at the end.
- A source image is picked at random and presented to every player.
- Download the original (RAW / TIFF / DNG depending on the challenge).
- Grade it in the software you prefer — Lightroom, Capture One, DaVinci, Darktable.
- Re-import your final JPEG before the timer runs out.
- In multiplayer, vote on the other players' anonymous submissions.
