Show HN: An AI Color Grader – Pico

Pico, an open-source AI color grading tool built on Claude, standardizes footage from S-Log3 to Rec.709 color space without automating the creative process. Developer Perbhat Bhatia positions Pico as a tool that removes technical tedium while preserving the artist's agency in color grading.

Pico Pico https://github.com/perbhat/agentic-color-grader is a Claude harness for color correction. Instead of empowering creators to realize their visions, most AI tools focus on automating production end-to-end. The creative act is not something to be automated away. It is a moment of expression, where artists move from an idea in their heads to a story on a screen. Instead of automating away their agency, we should build tools to empower creators. Pico is one opinionated example. Pico is not an AI video editor. Pico is a color corrector. Pico does not grade — you do. Pico merely removes the tedium of standardizing your footage from S-Log3 to a Rec.709 color space. Pico is for you. Try it here https://github.com/perbhat/agentic-color-grader .
