Learn how to create Lookup Tables (LUTs) like an expert!
Master Colorist Dave Cole demonstrates how to create Lookup Tables (LUTs) starting with the theory behind them. Then, he reveals how he generates his own LUTs as a top specialist in his field and manicures them to work for his specific needs.
Throughout the course, you can expect to learn about the theory of working with LUTs, starting at the basics before Dave details essential tools for your LUT toolset and how to keep LUTs consistent. After that, Dave takes you through how to build a LUT and then breaks down how to perfect the image with digital exposure while working with negatives and handling noise reduction.
