Have a Lookup Table, or LUT, that you like but would like to modify so it better creates the style you want? You can use third-party software to make those modifications. How does it work? In this movie, author Richard Harrington walks you through how to change the settings of a LUT with third-party software.
- If you're an Adobe Creative Cloud customer,…you may have access to SpeedGrade,…and that's a great tool for working with LUTs…and modifying them and saving them,…but there are a wealth of other tools.…A simple web search will take you…to a few other applications.…One of those is called Lattice,…and Lattice makes it easy for you…to load in a lookup table and evaluate it.…This is really a tool for conversion, so for example,…let's say I wanted to open up a lookup table.…
File, Open up LUT.…And let's navigate to one of those ones that I just created.…You can use any file here, but here's that one I made…in Lightroom, and I'll click Open.…There's the look.…I can see the after state of that…cool blue look that I just made.…But I can modify this a bit.…For example, I can take a look at this…and isolate just the contrast adjustment…or just the color adjustment,…and you see that it latches that in a bit.…
Or create a single gray-scale image…that averages it out or goes off of just one of the channels…to create a strong black and white look.…
