Asterik

Asterik is an AI‑driven photo color‑grading tool that lets users describe a desired look—whether a film stock, mood, or reference image—and have that aesthetic applied to any picture without altering its content. The system interprets textual prompts or up to four reference photos, extracting temperature, contrast, split‑tone, grain and vignette parameters, then renders a deterministic grade that can be saved, shared, or added to a community catalog.

The service offers two processing engines: a bold direct‑edit mode and a gentler LUT‑based mode, which users can toggle to compare results before committing. All filters are stored privately by default, with optional publishing to the public catalog, and the platform operates as a progressive web app, requiring no installation and supporting offline use after caching.

Targeted at photographers and creators who want quick, expressive grading without manual sliders, Asterik provides a mobile‑first, install‑free experience that emphasizes ease of description, community‑sourced looks, and preservation of the original image content.
