How to Install and Use LUTs in Affinity Photo

LUT (Lookup Table) is a powerful tool used to transform an image's colors, allowing you to achieve a specific visual style. In this article, we will guide you on how to install and use LUTs in Affinity Photo.

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have enough free space on your disk, as LUT files can take up around 1.34 GB of space during installation.

To import LUT files, follow these steps:

1. Browse to the location where your LUT file is stored and select it.

2. Choose whether to import the LUT category or individual LUTs.

3. Click on Options and select the Adjustment panel in the Photo Persona or Tone Mapping Persona.

4. If your LUT file is contained within a ZIP archive, extract its contents before proceeding.

Multiple files of the same type can be imported simultaneously, resulting in new categories being created in the Adjustment panel.

Once installed, LUTs are managed in the Adjustment panel, allowing you to easily access and apply them to your images. Affinity Photo supports several file formats for importing LUTs, including those contained within ZIP archives.

LUTs define transformations to be applied to an image's colors to achieve a specific visual style. They can greatly enhance the quality of your images by providing precise control over color grading and manipulation.

In addition to LUTs, Affinity Photo 2 also includes advanced masking tools such as hue range masks and luminosity masks, allowing for even greater precision in your color adjustments.

By following these simple steps, you can unlock the full potential of LUTs in Affinity Photo and take your image editing skills to the next level.
