What is a LUT?
A LUT, or βLook Up Tableβ, contains a set of numbers which are looked up by the software or hardware you are using in order to deliberately change the colors of an image.
A LUT can be used for technical purpose, for example to convert a LOG footage from a DSLR into a more common format, so the preview on the camera lcd will still look contrasted and colorful during the record of a LOG footage. LUT is also used for creative purpose, to alter the image, saturation, contrast, hue level, and much more, to make your film look more cinematic or just better looking, if you donβt like the βcinematicβ word.
