The grid comes in circular or square and for this example, we will be using the circular grid.

The A/B Grid - This is one of the most useful tools within the program, as it allows you to change hue and saturation of an object or color in your scene without affecting other colors. This is one of those tools that you can just play around with and see what it does pretty clearly. Here’s an example of Volume with the control point moved toward blue, and as shown in the before/after on the right, brightens the blue, and generally darkens other colors.

Volume - Allows you to control brightness depending on the color.

Some are similar tools to Photoshop, or other programs and some are completely unique to 3D LUT Creator.Ĭhannels - For working with Channels, sort of like Channel Mixer in Photoshop. Now that your image/content is loaded into the program, you can begin to work with your color. There is of course, the menus but who uses menus in programs these days, once you learn the shortcuts. You can also swap work and reference images. Also, pasting from clipboard works, this is especially cool if say, you are watching a video on YouTube, or looking at a picture somewhere that you like the grading from, you can use your screenshot to clipboard shortcut (Mac) and go to 3D LUT Creator and press Command+V and paste right in. There’s also an Image from PS button, which does exactly what it states, loads in the active document from PS in. For instance, I love dragging a photo from Finder straight into PS this works in 3D LUT Creator as well. There are several ways to bring your source imagery (photo, or still from clip) into 3D LUT Creator.įortunately my favorite ways to interact with other programs also work. Keyboard shortcuts are displayed in the menu. The Program has a working image and reference image which can be displayed side by side, top/bottom, or toggle back and forth. It seems it was possibly designed on PC and ported over. It’s worth noting that the program is lightning fast on PC and runs a bit laggy on Mac, usable but definitely slower.

This is definitely a program for advanced users, it’s very powerful and contains many different tools to do different things with your color grading. One single click to load your newly created 3D LUT into Photoshop with a layer for masking if need be. 3D LUT Creator is a very powerful and advanced piece of software that allows creation of LUTs and it has easy integration with Photoshop for still work as well.
