Color grading is the process of altering and enhancing the color of a motion picture or television image, either electronically, photo-chemically or digitally. The photo-chemical process is also referred to as color-timing and is typically performed at a photographic laboratory using optical filters.

Using digital grading objects and color ranges within the scene can be isolated with perfect precision and relit or adjusted.
