How to Use LUTs in Luminar

LUTs, or lookup tables, are a powerful way to quickly and easily change the color and tone of your images. They can be used to create a variety of looks, from subtle changes to dramatic transformations.

In Luminar, you can use LUTs in two ways:

  • As a filter: You can apply a LUT to your image as a filter, which will override the existing color and tone of the image.
  • As a mood: You can add a LUT to the Mood tool, which will blend the LUT with the existing color and tone of the image. This gives you more control over the final look of your image.

To use a LUT as a filter, follow these steps:

  1. Open the image you want to edit in Luminar.
  2. Click on the Filters tab.
  3. In the Color section, click on the LUTfilter.
  4. Select the LUT you want to use.
  5. Adjust the opacity of the filter to control the strength of the effect.

To use a LUT as a mood, follow these steps:

  1. Open the image you want to edit in Luminar.
  2. Click on the Creative tab.
  3. In the Mood section, click on the Choose LUT button.
  4. Select the LUT you want to use.
  5. Adjust the amount slider to control the strength of the effect.

You can also adjust the contrast and saturation of the LUT using the sliders in the Mood tool.

Experiment with different LUTs to find the look that you like best. You can also combine LUTs with other filters to create even more creative effects.
