One of the most common questions I get asked about Lightroom is “What’s the difference between the Presets and Profiles?”
In this video, I explain all 😃
FINALLY! Look Up Tables (LUTs) in Lightroom (Install, Use, Manage)
Colour Look Up Tables (LUTs) are a Game Changer when it comes to colour grading your images in Photoshop, but what if you do more in Lightroom or maybe Lightroom is all you use; can you still use them?
The short answer is YES.
However, they do need to be installed first of all and to do so, although a simple process, doesn’t just mean clicking an “INSTALL LUTs” button.
There’s just a few steps involved as well as a hidden keyboard shortcut, but I promise you that it is an easy process as you’ll see in the short video below…
In the video when going through the steps to install LUTs into Lightroom (Cloud) , I show how you need to navigate to a specific folder on your computer where Camera Raw has previously stored them.
Here’s where you’ll find the folder depending on whether you’re using Mac or Windows:
Mac
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings
Note: On a Mac, you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command + Shift + G to bring up the ‘Go to Folder’ dialog
Windows
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings
*Replace [username] with the actual username you use for that specific computer
Hopefully that’s now got you all sorted Importing, Using and Managing LUTs in whichever version/s of Lightroom you use, but if you do have any questions / comments then as always, feel free to make use of the comments section and I’ll get back to you..
Cheers,
