Temp Map

What is a color temperature map?

Every scene has its own neutral tone, the average warmth or coolness of its light. Some areas fall warmer than that neutral: sunlit surfaces, skin in golden light, firelight. Others fall cooler: shadows, overcast sky, reflected light from a blue wall. Painters use this warm-cool contrast deliberately to create depth and atmosphere. This tool reveals that contrast visually. Areas warmer than the scene's own neutral glow orange; areas cooler than neutral glow blue. The stronger the shift, the more saturated the color.

How to use this tool

1. Upload an image. Drop a photo or painting onto the canvas, or click to browse. HEIC files from iPhone are supported.
2. Read the map. Orange means warmer than the scene's average; blue means cooler. Areas close to the neutral tone stay subtle. The more saturated the color, the stronger the temperature shift.
3. Adjust Strength. Drag the Strength slider to make the warm-cool differences more or less visible. Raise it on subtle paintings; lower it on photos with bold, obvious temperature contrast.
4. Compare and download. Hold the "Hold to compare" button to toggle back to the original. When satisfied, tap Download PNG to save a full-resolution copy.
