Lookup Tables, or LUTs, are simply amazing. LUTs arelikepresets, but work across all platforms and software,for both video and stills. LUTs can beused for both colour correction, to bring cameras to a standard, and for giving your footage or images a desired “look”. But how do we use them? In this video from Casey Faris, [...]
