Good to know.
Before you buy.
What format are the LUTs?
Every look is a 33×33×33 .cube file, the standard 3D LUT format. One file per look, ready to load wherever you already work.
Which software do they work with?
Anything that reads .cube — DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Photoshop as a Color Lookup layer, Capture One, and Lightroom Classic as creative profiles.
Do they work on RAW and JPEG?
Yes, on photos and video alike. The result depends on the exposure and white balance you start from, so treat a LUT as a strong starting point rather than a finished edit.
Will every photo end up looking the same?
No. A LUT shapes the colour already in your frame, so the same look lands differently on different light. Dial the intensity back or adjust afterwards until it is yours.
How do I get my files after buying?
They appear in your library straight away. Sign in and download any look you own, as many times as you need, on any device.
Can I use them in client work?
Yes. Use them in commercial and personal projects as much as you like. You just cannot resell or redistribute the LUT files themselves.
