Our Story
Kromatica was born from a simple belief: professional creative tools shouldn't come with endless subscription fees. Founded by cinematographer Jake Baine, our journey began with a mission to support fellow colorists and DPs with high-quality tools they could truly own. We believe in being the change we want to see in the industry, which is why we've made a firm commitment – no subscriptions, ever.
This isn't just about software; it's about setting a precedent for how creative tools can be both professional and accessible. Every product we create is a statement that there's a better way to serve the filmmaking community.
Texas born. Hollywood driven.
Kromatica was founded in Austin, Texas, before finding its home in Los Angeles, California—a strategic move to be at the heart of the industry we serve. By embedding ourselves in the professional filmmaking community, we've created an environment where working cinematographers and colorists directly shape our tools through their real-world experience and expertise. This close collaboration with industry professionals ensures our solutions aren't just theoretical but are forged from practical, hands-on insights.
