Read full description

Design custom camera looks on iPhone and export them as industry-standard .cube LUTs. LUT Smith helps filmmakers, photographers, and creators build reusable color looks for camera apps and editing workflows without turning the app into a full video editor. Features: - Create LUTs from standard or iOS-supported RAW photos, selected video frames, or built-in sample images. - Adjust exposure, contrast, saturation, tint, curves, split tone, and broad HSL bands. - Preview your look across skin tones, landscapes, night scenes, food, and color charts. - Export .cube LUTs in 17x, 33x, or 65x sizes with profile and destination notes. - Save, search, duplicate, tag, and organize your own local LUT library. - Use destination presets and post-export guidance for camera and editor workflows. - Keep source media processing on device unless you choose to export or share. Pro: LUT Smith Pro unlocks unlimited LUT exports, 33x and 65x export, advanced color tools, destination presets, pack ZIP export, and import/tweak workflows for existing .cube LUTs. Important: Standard .cube LUTs store global color transforms. Effects such as grain, masks, blur, glow, and local adjustments are preview-only unless they can be represented as global color changes.
