I guess it will run in Russian only :-) Also it has different versions.

Matching cameras

@maxr Thx for the feedback..I am trying this program as I am frustrated trying to match two videos with clipped highlights and different color temp and WB. The files are attached. Just wondering if you would consider trying these out on your LUT Creator to see if they can match. I am mainly concerned with skin tones and the color of the sky and leaves.

How would I match two different pics if I did not use a color chart ? I have incorrectly color balanced images - shot at different time of the day that I have to color correct.

Oh - thank you. I thought I had asked an incredibly stupid question, so that's a relief!! I'm so impressed by what 3D LUT Creator can do - it seems so quick to get really good results.

This is amazing to play with. I don't know anything about LUTs so really interested to know: can you work on a frame in this then export the resulting LUT into something like Resolve to recolour a clip? Or does it not work like that?

+ Some bug ironing + a droplet for direct WB selection, real-time feedback from the hue blob, dunno what to call it + now when you move directly over the image, it's not the grid that changes, it's the hue representation + and that channel mixer...!!!... it's some feature like I've never seen implemented

We're entering the Sci-Fi UI's era, ja ja ja.
Guess that Oleg lives up to his word ,-)

Next step for expansion: english :P
A detailed user manual and 1 long and warm sum-up video would be a very niceL welcome

 
PS
I write this stuff but I want to be cristal clear, I have no commercial relation whatsoever with Oleg or 3DL Creator. I don't even own a full version yet. I write to inform you as I learn too, this' my contribution for these forums, Ok? Coolio fssshhuhhhh

 
UPDATE • 23rd Jan

Here we go!! More sci-fi, this time 2D Curves =)

 
Hi there guys, quick Q&A (questions and answers) with Oleg Sharonov, developer of 3D Lut Creator.
The program is in version 1.0 and very frequently updated
 

• Is there a team or is it only you developing the program? - BTW great great work =)

I'm the only one developing the program, thank you =)

• How much does 3D LUT Creator costs and what is included?

It's $70 right now, updates for versions 0.x and 1.x are included

 
• Is there (would be) any support for non-russian speaking customers? Manual?

Yes, some guys are going to join me and found a company, then there will probably be site and manuals translation

• What are development / expansion plans? Is there going to be a mac build version?

I'm working on Mac version, and also going to implement some never-seen-before color corrections =)

• Where can 3D LUT Creator be used other than as a standalone? PS, Lightroom, video NLE, Davinci, After Efects?

It's hard to make a plug-in from it, because it's written on Delphi / Lazarus. I'll have to rewrite it in C++ to make plug-ins

 
• Which image formats does 3D LUT Creator work with? Which can export?

It uses freeimage library, so it can load and save everything it supports, including jpg, png, tiff, etc.

• Which LUT formats does 3D LUT Creator work with? Which can export?

It currently could not load LUT, because general LUT can't be presented using tools 3D LUT Creator have. I tried to make some approximations, discarding brightness information and so on, but it doesn't work well yet. So 3DLC is mainly to create LUT's, not to edit third-party ones. It can export 3DL, CSP and CUBE formats, and also I'm going to add ACV export for curves

• Would be possible to use it with video... in the future?

It's possible to use with video using single frames, in the same way lightroom does. Adding support for video files directly into program would require huge amount of work, and probably making it in form of plug-in would be a better way of doing it. But I can't say anything about plug-ins yet, if I would be able to make them or not.

As a side note
There's a video explaining curves and curves extraction, but it's in russian. If you know someone who can voiceover it, I can write english subtitles
So if anyone english and russian speaker is interested, feel free to contact Oleg, Facebook link above

 
Well, that's all folks... for now
A sunny sunday for you all • gashô

Here's another one, tried that classic "green-to-blue" trick (didn't work too well for this one) and played with curves. Vignette added in Lightroom.

@maxr

If only the image colours are (re)presented in the palette, wouldn't that limit the options in the tweaking range of the colours? ... maybe the inside of whole colour spectrum could be inhabited by the the image specific palette blobs you're suggesting / showing

That's an idea, but the only changes you can see in 3D LUT Creator are the changes made to the image colors: out of gamut colors changes cannot be represented, so you would be working blindly, unless the program offers to supplement the source image with additional out-of-gamut color patches so that you see what your are doing... Since you can clearly see the grid points outside the gamut, showing, alongside the source image, an additional color patch for each one can be easily implemented.

@Jasketti No virus in the one I downloaded, using mac

@pwc

Unfortunately browsing through the menus I haven't seen this possibility: you can export a LUT file but not import it.

Yes, other than (from) images, it looks like you can only import icc and icm color profiles.

it would be nice to give the user a better view of the true color palette in the source image. Working on the palette itself instead of the total color space would make things easier

That's just great feedback / idea ;-) Oleg are you reading this? je je

I have zero knowledge in this field, so forgive me if I say something stupid. If only the image colours are (re)presented in the palette, wouldn't that limit the options in the tweaking range of the colours? ... maybe the inside of whole colour spectrum could be inhabited by the the image specific palette blobs you're suggesting / showing - nice picture BTW
But then wouldn't be so different as it is now, I don't know, I might have got it all wrong {head scratching monkey}

Now each blob could be individually graded by the process used by 3D LUT Creator and not only in hue, but also in saturation and value...

That would be neat. I can imagine a tridimensional interactive scope like thingie

a smooth palette of the 625 most important colors

That reminds me a bit how apple color made scopes work, by reading the whole image and downsampling the info.

Thanks so much for taking the time and chimming in @pwc
I'm big fan of your Automated Colour Grading using Colour Distribution Transfer project, all good!!!
