How Do I Apply 3D LUTs in Adobe Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:56 am

Adobe Photoshop is a very popular image editing software that is used by millions of people around the world. It has a wide range of features and tools that can be used to create or edit images. One of the features that Photoshop has is the ability to apply 3D LUTs (look up tables).

3D LUTs are mathematical algorithms that are used to map one color space to another. They can be used to change the color of an image, or to make an image look more like another image. For example, you could use a 3D LUT to make an image look more like a black and white photograph, or to make an image look more like it was taken with a different type of camera.

Applying 3D LUTs in Photoshop is fairly simple. First, you need to open the image that you want to edit in Photoshop.

Then, go to the “Edit” menu and select “Color Settings”. In the “Color Settings” dialog box, select “3D LUT” from the drop-down menu next to “Method”.

PRO TIP: 3D LUTs can be very powerful when used in Adobe Photoshop, but they can also be very dangerous. If you are not careful, you can easily end up with an image that looks nothing like the original. Be sure to read all of the documentation before using 3D LUTs, and always back up your original image before applying any changes.

Now, click on the “Browse” button and navigate to the location where you have saved the 3D LUT that you want to use. Select the LUT and click on the “Open” button. Now, click on the “OK” button in the “Color Settings” dialog box.

The 3D LUT will now be applied to your image. You can see the results of the LUT by looking at your image in the document window. If you are not happy with the results, you can undo the changes by going to the “Edit” menu and selecting “Undo Color Settings”.

Conclusion:

Applying 3D LUTs in Adobe Photoshop is a simple process that can be used to change the color of an image, or make it look more like another image. If you are not happy with the results of a LUT, you can always undo the changes.
