Could you build this?
Partial While basic web image manipulation is easy, creating an interactive color grading suite with 3D color wheel coordinates, mask layers, film grain simulation, and 3D LUT (.cube) export demands high-performance GPU shaders.
What it would actually take: Requires WebGL/WebGPU or native Metal/Vulkan compute pipelines with custom fragment shaders for color space conversions (e.g., RGB to HSL/OKLab), curve adjustments, and 3D tetrahedral LUT interpolation. Exporting valid, accurate .cube files and handling high-res RAW/TIFF buffers smoothly without UI thread lag demands specialized graphics programming and color science knowledge.
