Will the LUTS work in earlier versions of PS.
That is the brilliance of your tuts because every time one listens to one will learn something new and thus make him/her more PS proficient.Thanks buddy. there
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.
Thank You – I learn so much from your tutorials!
Yes, they will work in earlier versions of PS
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.
I have some qustions about this LUT process……..
Can I add and export PNG image as .3dl or .Cube file????
