Get Your Recipe

Our analysis engine decodes the colour, tone, and contrast of your request into exact in-camera settings.

A purpose-built image analysis engine —original, custom recipes.

When you upload a photo, ToneChef doesn't just "look at it." Our bespoke analysis pipeline measures dozens of properties from the actual pixels — then maps them to the precise dials and menus on your camera.

Pixel-level tone analysis

Highlight rolloff, shadow depth, contrast distribution, and histogram shape are measured right out of the source photos.

Colour & white-balance decoding

Saturation curves, colour temperature, and tint are extracted so your recipe's white balance and colour dials land right.

Grain & texture detection

Film grain character, noise levels, and sharpness profile are identified so the recipe reproduces the same tactile feel.

Mapped to your exact camera

Every measurement is translated through a hand-built knowledge base of your camera's specific modes, ranges, and quirks.

Why ToneChef?

Curated camera knowledge base

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.

The AI model for creating recipes

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.

Photos, words, or both

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.

Settings you can actually use

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! ToneChef is designed to empower your fun and creativity.
