Configuring Flame Premium to Use LUTs and Colour Transforms for Display

Before you can apply colour management to displayed images, you must add the LUTs and colour transforms that you want to use to your preferences. This makes them available for use in image windows.

By default in new projects, the following display transforms are preset:

• Alt+Shift+1: transforms/tone-map/PhotoMap_LC.ctf
• Alt+Shift+2: gamma/apply_sRGB_encoding.ctf
• Alt+Shift+3: gamma/apply_2.40_gamma.ctf

Consider using PhotoMap_LC instead of the default Linear viewing option for viewing linear content. It is a tone-mapping transform with S-shaped curves for a photographic response.

Making 3D LUTs and Colour Transforms Available for Display

1. Go to Preferences > LUT.
