Digital Eden

Digital Eden is a colour grade in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Bright teal lows crossing through coral into chartreuse.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

What Digital Eden does

Dark tones go slate teal, mids go coral and the brightest areas roll into chartreuse, with an off-white paper wash over the very top. Cross sets how much of that grade sits over a cross-processed copy of the source, so a quarter lets the original hues back in, pushed yellow and green, and hard right commits to teal and coral. Nothing moves unless the picture does.

Using Digital Eden

Where it works
Retro cover art and flyer backgrounds that want expired slide film. Unlike Solar Static, some of the source's own hue survives, and faces come out coral with a yellow-green cast, which suits lo-fi editorial more than beauty shots.
With the music
The grade holds still on its own. Put a slow bar-synced LFO on Cross so the frame breathes between film stock and flat grade, and send B9 air to Highs so cymbals push chartreuse into the lights.
Starting point
Shadows at centre, Highs a quarter, Cross three-quarters, then pull Cross back until the source's own colours start showing through.
