    LUTs Color Grading Pack


    by IWLTBAP

    https://luts.iwltbap.com
    What is a LUT?
    A LUT, for Look-Up Table, is a file (.CUBE or .3DL extension) containing math instructions
    to replace a color by another one. It’s like a color grading preset. This process is done
    pixel by pixel with a very high accuracy. These LUTs are compatible with many photo/
    video applications on Mac and PC (list below).

    About this pack


    These presets are based on most famous cinema styles and are made by myself (Benjamin).

    In the pack you’ll find more than 150 unique looks, used by professionals and recommended
    by Film Riot (watch). These LUTs are powerful tools for all filmmakers.

    The LUTs can be used with the most photo and video editing softwares (PC/Mac) :

    - Adobe Photoshop (CS6 and +)


    - Adobe After Effects (CS6 and +)
    - Adobe Premiere Pro (CS6 and +)
    - Adobe SpeedGrade
    - Avid Media Composer (7 and +)
    - The Foundry NUKE
    - DaVinci Resolve
    - CineForm GoPro Studio Premium
    - CyberLink ColorDirector 4

    How to use
    My LUTs are designed for standard image profile (Rec.709) and flat image profiles (generic
    LOG). In the UTILITY folder you’ll find a large set of conversion LUTs for LOG to Rec.709.

    LUTs are organized in folders, STANDARD for standard image (sRGB and Rec.709) and LOG
    for flat profiles (generic LOG).
    The CUBE format is the most common format for a LUT but few applications accepts only
    the 3DL format so this is the reason why the two formats are included in the pack :)

    About the filenames of LUTs, here are the meaning of the prefix :
    C = Cold W = Warm H = Hot B = Black and White
    F = Film X = Creative U = Utility

    And for the suffix :


    LOG = LOG/flat profile STD = Standard/classic profile
    LTR = LOG to Rec.709 RTL = Rec.709 to LOG

    So, the LUT named « F-9490-STD » is a LUT with a Film look for Standard image profile.
    The LUT named « X-9400-LOG » is a LUT with a Creative look for flat image profile.

    Utility LUTs (conversion LUTs)


    The «  UTILITY  » folder contains LUTs to convert LOG (flat picture profiles) to Rec.709
    (standard video profile) for almost all cameras and profiles. Feel free to suggest me other
    conversion LUTs or improvements of the existing LUTs.
    3/7
    Tints LUTs
    The tint LUTs (in « TINTS » folder) will act like Roscolux gel filters. They are designed to only
    give a tint to your image, like a color layer. They will not affect (or very little) the contrast,
    brightness, gamma, and other settings.

    Experimentals LUTs
    The experimental LUTs (in « EXPERIMENTAL » folder) are based on user requests and work
    in progress. They are not final and I can’t guarantee the result. These LUTs can be test of
    film print emulations or creative renders. Feel free to play with them.

    Install LUTs into Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 and +


    IMPORTANT NOTE: Adobe recommends to load the LUTs only via the "Browse..." function
    of "Basic Correction" and "Creative" LUT dropdown menus of the Lumetri panel. The
    instructions below are not officially recommended by Adobe and may cause troubles
    with large number of LUTs and/or when you share a project on different computers.
    Copying the .CUBE files in the installation folder of Premiere Pro is against the legal
    condition of use. If you have already copied the .CUBE files in this folder and you want
    to remove them, simply delete the .CUBE and .LOOK files. Feel free to contact me if you
    need assistance for uninstallation :)

    For Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.3 / 2017 and more recent, follow these videos:
    - Mac: https://vimeo.com/197112054
    - Windows: https://vimeo.com/197124387

    For Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015 (not 2015.3), please follow these videos:
    - Mac: https://vimeo.com/197127837
    - Windows: https://vimeo.com/197135144

    For Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014), please follow this video:


    - Mac/Windows: https://youtu.be/PvjHqNlrCJw

    If you want to install the LUTs in Basic Correction rather than Creative section of the
    Lumetri panel, just place the .CUBE files into:
    — Mac: /Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015/Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015.app/Contents/Lumetri/LUTs/Technical
    — PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015\Lumetri\LUTs\Technical

    Install LUTs into Adobe Photoshop CS6 and +


    To use the LUTs via the dropdown menu of the "Color Lookup" adjustment layer, just
    copy the .CUBE files into:
    — Mac: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Presets/3DLUTs
    — PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Presets\3DLUTs

    LUTs Previewer (Mac/PC application)
    Light and simple Mac/PC application to test all LUTs included in my pack.
    You have just to load or drop a JPG/PNG frame in the app and click a reference on the
    sidebar.

    Trick: To generate frames easily, use VLC. Launch a video a press Cmd+Alt+S on Mac or
    Shift+S on PC. More infos here: https://wiki.videolan.org/Take_a_snapshot

    LUTs are applied at low resolution to increase speed in the previewer.


    So the quick rendering can suffer from several shortcomings such as pixelation or banding.

    Online web app version: https://preview.iwltbap.com

    LUT Generator (Mac/PC application)


    This utility will help you to create your own look LUTs from any applications such as Camera
    Raw, DxO or simply Lightroom presets!
    I made few video tutorials to explain how to use (on the webpage, URL below).

    This application is a based on pay-what-you-want model, so you can download it for free
    if you want :)

    LUTs DeLOG (online web app)


    Built with the help of LUTCalc by Ben Turley, this web application was made to generate
    conversion LUTs easily.

    You upload a JPG/PNG file (still frame extracted from your LOG footage) and select the
    input gamma/gamut and the desired output gamma/gamut and click generate button.
    With the Auto Adjust option you can generate a conversion LUT suited for your image.
    You’ll be able to view in live a preview of the LUT.
    Good thing, a waveform + RGB parade are present on the page.

    Please note that this web app is heavy (27MB) so be patient for the first complete load, it
    will be faster at your next visit ;)

    Install LUTs into Adobe Lightroom
    1) Copy the files with .ICC extension from the following folder of the pack Manual install
    for Lightroom and Capture One > ICC, into:
    — Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    — Windows: C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color

    2) Now, to use the LUTs in Lightroom go to « Development » tab and enable « Soft
    Proofing » checkbox in bottom bar, as shown below:

    3) Then, in the top right area of your screen, click « Profile » dropdown menu and
    choose « Other... », as shown below:

    4) In the window that opens, enable all the LUTs that you want to use in Lightroom, as
    show below:

    5) Now you can easily access the LUTs in one click via the « Profile » dropdown menu :)

    Note) If the LUT is not applied when you export the image, you have just to enable the
    LUT in Export settings (section File Settings > Color Space), as show below:

    6/7
    Install LUTs into Capture One
    1) Copy the files with .COSTYLE extension from the following folder of the pack Manual
    install for Lightroom and Capture One > COSTYLE, into:
    — Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Capture One/Styles
    — Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\CaptureOne\Styles50

    2) Copy the files with .ICC extension from the following folder of the pack Manual install
    for Lightroom and Capture One > ICC, into:
    — Mac: /Users/[username]/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    — Windows: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\CaptureOne\Color Profiles

    3) Now, to use the LUTs in Capture One go to « Styles and Presets » tab and select a LUT
    in the « User Styles » section, as show below:

    LUTs in .VLT format / Load LUTs in-camera for the GH5


    The .VLT format is made to load the LUTs in-camera for the Panasonic GH5 (and all other
    compatible Panasonic cameras). In the folder named « LUTs by IWLTBAP (VLT) » you'll
    find the LUTs in .VLT format already profiled for V-Log L. Perfect to shoot in V-Log with a
    preview LUT :)

    Then, in post-production, you'll be able to use the exact same LUT in .CUBE format to
    color grade as you saw on the screen. Otherwise you can manually convert your V-Log
    image to standard (Rec.709) and then use the same LUT in « Standard » version.

    Important: the GH5 is limited to maximum 4 LUTs in-camera. Also the filenames must
    contain maximum 8 characters, otherwise the LUTs will be hidden in-camera.

    Please note that all updates are free.

    I will reply you very quickly :)
