Input LUTs

Images originating from different media and devices, such as digital cameras or scanned film, have different colour characteristics. On import, you can apply an Input LUT to convert them all to the grading working space prior to the grading process. Unlike LUTs applied for viewing, Input LUTs change the underlying colour values of the pixels.

Note: If you are working media imported using the Wiretap Gateway, you can use the Transcode LUT options instead of an Input LUT. The Transcode LUT options allow you to apply colour transforms based on the Academy/ASC XML colour transform format as well as 3D LUTs and Flame-compatible 1D LUTs, which provides a great amount of flexibility. See Transcode LUT Options Settings.

If running the Windows version of Lustre, save print LUTs in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Lustre <version_number>\lut folder. If running the Linux version of Lustre, save print LUTs in the /usr/autodesk/lustre_<version_number>/lut directory. Lustre provides industry-standard 3D LUTs which are located in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Lustre Color <version_number> in the Windows version and/usr/discreet/Lustre_Color in the Linux version.
