    Proprietary look matching with Identity Lock

    Use any frame as a reference. Look Match reads color, contrast, density, highlight behavior, grain, atmosphere, and mood, then transfers that look onto your photos while Identity Lock protects face, pose, body geometry, and composition. Build one look, reuse it across a set, and refine it inside Lab Orbit.

    Color Toolset

    Everything the look needs,
    nothing the photo doesn't.

    Identity Lock

    Faces, body geometry, and facial structure stay intact. The look transfers without rewriting the subject.

    Geometry Lock

    Composition and framing stay yours. The recipe rides on top of the source instead of rebuilding the frame.

    Look Decode

    Color temperature, contrast, density, highlight rolloff, shadow character, saturation, and texture are measured before transfer.

    Batch Consistency

    One reference can drive a whole set, so the gallery feels intentional instead of corrected image by image.

    Lab Orbit Finish

    Blend strength, before/after, grain, warmth, frame treatment, and Lab Notes live where the matched photo is reviewed.

    Saved Looks

    Every match can become a reusable look. Apply the same direction to a new photo without re-decoding the reference.

    Look Match FAQ

    Reference look matching, without rewriting the subject.

    The short version: bring the visual direction, keep the photograph. The proprietary formula translates the look while Identity Lock protects the subject.

    01What is Look Match?+

    Look Match is reference based AI photo editing. You upload a source photo and a reference image, then Department of Vibe transfers the reference look while protecting the subject with Identity Lock.

    02What can I use as a reference?+

    You can use a film still, editorial image, client mood board, finished photo, screenshot, scanned print, or one of the film stock recipes inside the lab.

    03Does Look Match change the person in the photo?+

    No. Identity Lock is designed to preserve face, pose, expression, body geometry, clothing structure, and composition while the visual treatment changes.

    04How is this different from presets and LUTs?+

    A preset or LUT applies a fixed adjustment. Look Match reads a reference as a recipe, separating color, light, grain, density, contrast, atmosphere, and frame behavior into controllable instructions.

    05Can I save a matched look?+

    Yes. Inside Lab Orbit, a reference setup can become a Saved Look so the same recipe can be reused across future images and shoots.
