    It really helps to both see the demo of how you create, save, load and use LUTs, Colin, as well as have the printed step x step to accompany that. Thx! I am going to experiment more with LUTs now.

    This should be called “How to save your LUT” because it doesn’t teach you how to create the adjustment layers. I have 20 years experience in PS and never used such layers. Incomplete tutorial. EDIT: This comment applies to the written version.

      Thats why I suggest watching the video as well, I sometimes don’t have the time to write out each and every step.
