LUT

A lookup table that transforms color and tone in post-production.

Why it matters

It can speed up a look, but it does not replace good exposure or grading.

When to use

  • Show LUTs
  • Preview looks
  • Camera matching

Human shoot hint

Use LUTs as a starting point and adjust exposure and white balance first.
