A few weeks ago I shared a video on my YouTube Channel showing how to install and use Look Up Tables (LUTs) in all versions of Lightroom, per it Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom on the Web.

Following on from that I did get a few questions asking about problems using LUTs in Photoshop with error messages being thrown back and images being made to look, well, awful.

So, here’s a video I’ve put together to show how to Make, Save, Export and Edit LUTs without any errors.

Enjoy

I'd previously shared a video showing how to install and use Look Up Tables (LUTs) in every version of Lightroom: Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom on the web. Following on from that, I had a few questions about problems using LUTs in Photoshop, with error messages being thrown up and images being made to look, well, awful. Here I show how to make your own LUTs by saving and exporting them correctly, how to make them editable, and what to do if it all goes wrong.

Colour Look Up Tables (LUTs) are a brilliant way of colour grading your images in Photoshop, adding mood, atmosphere and your own style, but what if you do more in Lightroom, or Lightroom is all you use; can you still use them? The short answer is yes. They do need to be installed first, though, and although it's a simple process, it isn't just a case of clicking an install button. There are a few steps involved as well as a hidden keyboard shortcut, and this video goes through how to install, use and manage them. For Lightroom (Cloud), you need to navigate to the folder where Camera Raw has previously stored your LUTs. On a Mac that's ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings, and on Windows it's C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings.
