ColorMaster earns its place in the Superhive library as a long-standing, GPL-licensed color management add-on for Blender's 2.7x releases, pairing an image-based interface with importable and editable looks.
ColorMaster is a full color management workflow that runs inside Blender. It adds an image-based GUI on top of Blender's own color management tools, giving you a visual way to work with looks rather than adjusting settings blind.
The workflow covers both importing your own looks and editing existing ones. You adjust them through controls such as view transform, exposure, gamma, and curves. Once a look is dialed in, you can save your entire setup as a preset and reload it later, so a grade you build once can be reused across projects.
ColorMaster was published by John Roper for Blender versions 2.7x, 2.77, 2.78, and 2.79, and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is included, and a demo video is available. It has drawn a small number of ratings on Superhive over its lifetime. For current details and licensing, check the developer's page.
Colormaster is best for blender users who want a visual workflow for managing color and looks.
Colormaster is completely free to download and use.
ColorMaster is listed for Blender 2.7x, specifically the 2.77, 2.78, and 2.79 releases. It was published around a decade ago and targets that generation of Blender's color management system. If you run a newer Blender version, check the developer's page to confirm current compatibility before relying on it, since the listed support covers the 2.7x series rather than later releases. The plugin is distributed under the GPL license.
ColorMaster is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for the current terms and any purchase details, visit the developer's page directly. The plugin itself is released under the GPL license, which governs how it may be used and distributed. Documentation is included with the download to help you get set up and working with your looks and presets.
ColorMaster lets you save your entire setup as a preset for later use. After you import a look or edit an existing one using the exposure, gamma, curve, and view transform controls, you can store that configuration and load it again when you need it. This means a grade you build once can be reapplied without rebuilding it from scratch each time you open a new project in Blender.
ColorMaster gives you an image-based GUI over Blender's color management tools, with controls including view transform, exposure, gamma, and curves. You can use these to import your own looks or edit existing ones directly. Beyond adjusting a single look, the workflow also lets you save your complete setup as a preset. Included documentation covers how to work with these controls inside Blender.
