LUTs Organising

Hello Admin,

LUTs and the way we currently have to use them is seriously lacking.  Can your programmers please do something to be able to organise LUTs and somehow preview them, without having to actually create a custom preset?  Thanks.

  Hi Margarita,

  I'll be glad to pass your request to our devs. But I need more details. 

  As I get it, you want to have a preview option for LUTs.

  Hi Julia,

  Yes, but also a way to organise the drop-down list that we see, which shows only a limited number of LUTs (approx. 25) and it cannot be expanded or scolled through when one has many more than 25 LUTs.  Thanks.

  Thanks for the details. 

  I've forwarded your suggestion to our devs for their consideration.

  that is a great suggestion. better luts file management

   

  i have  over 100 luts file in my luts folder  C:\Program Files\Skylum\Luminar 2018\Data

   

  So when i call the luts filter i can only select from  apparently first 19 luts file (sorted by name , i can't even scroll in the luts selector  (with mouse or arrows it doesn't work  and then i'm unable to select any other luts than the first nineteen ...

  to painly (time lost) go around the situation , i have to temporary move the first 19 luts file from the luts folder in C:\Program Files\Skylum\Luminar 2018\Data , but then i'm only able to select from the new 19 first luts file in the folder .. 

  After ii've select a luts file, i have to think about putting back the 19 luts file that i previously move from the luts folder. ... 

  As you can see this fonction need to be rethink or reshape ... why not mange luts files as we do for preset that would be so much easier

  Great idea! A better LUT browser integrated in the UI

  Unfortunately, the new update has not addressed this at all and actually has broken LUT mapping when using installed LUT's, at least for the Windows version.  Maybe the Mac version has better results?

  Hi Tom,

  Can you be more specific about the issues you are having with the LUT mapping filter?

  Angela -

  Sure.  If I attempt to load one of my installed LUT's, many of them result in a blank white image.  Reducing the Amount slider gradually removes the white.  This appears to be with 3dl LUT's mainly.  Is this a show stopper?  No.  The fact that I cannot scroll through the installed LUT's is, though.

  I agree. Loaded in 15 LUTs then reloaded Luminar and they dissappeared.

  @Bill - If you choose a custom LUT it will automatically be stored with your saved Luminar file or embedded into any custom preset that you create.

  At this time there is no way to load multiple LUTs and have them display in the list each time Luminar is opened. However, as a workaround you can create custom presets using LUTs and then the LUT files are embedded into the preset and will be available each time you open the app.

  " If you choose a custom LUT it will automatically be stored with your saved Luminar file or embedded into any custom preset that you create."  <-------  They say this, but it has never worked for me.   LUT files have the file extension of ".cube".   

  There is no support on this site that is not answer by "Uninstall/Re-install" or "Here is a technote"... 

  I found where they store the LUT files and copy them in manually.  Make sure you are administrator when creating sub-folders. 

  If you have any issues after copying the .cube files to this location, check folder and filer permissions. Luminar sucks at permissions.
