Chalk, a free bright, airy pastel filter
Chalk is bright and airy: lifted blacks, pastel color and minty greens for a light, clean feel.
What Chalk looks like
Chalk brightens the image and lifts the blacks into a soft matte, then pulls colors toward pastel. Greens turn minty and whites stay clean.
It's the classic light-and-airy look for lifestyle, fashion and travel photos taken in good light.

Use Chalk on video and in Lightroom
You can take this look into other apps. Open it, then on the Save tab download it as a LUT (.cube) for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut, with versions for log footage, or as a Lightroom profile with an Amount slider. Both carry the look's color; add grain and glow in the other app.
