Applications like Affinity Photo and Davinci Resolve are able to use LUTs natively, but unfortunately, Capture One doesn’t support LUTs. These ‘color presets’ can be used to bring back contrast, add color, or even change a color space entirely. Lightroom Converter LUT used in Affinity PhotoĪ LUT, or ‘Look Up Table’, for those unaware, is like a preset, in that it imposes a specific ‘look’ on a source image or video. *As we have outlined previously, there is a plugin that converts all of the color information within a preset, including contrast, brightness, gamma, into a LUT. Like some sort of Stockholm syndrome, photographers have defended Adobe and their decisions for years, however, with the latest debacle of Lightroom CC/Classic, photographers are beginning to second guess their allegiances, which has thrown Capture One (typically a more professionally geared tool) into the sightline of LR users – many of which are looking to get their presets into C1. Images seem to ‘pop’ out of the gate and their astounding color editor tool is second to none.
But you can.ĭespite Adobe’s best efforts in color management and media organization, Capture One still remains the superior RAW developer. However, despite the efforts, photographers still clutch to their go-to ‘film-like’ presets from the likes of Mastin Labs, VSCO, RNI, as well as us here at SLR Lounge. Getting these presets out of the walled garden of Lightroom is relatively an easy task, getting them in Capture One is another story entirely. Where Adobe towers among its competitors is its extensive third-party support for add-ons and presets, Capture One has taken the initiative to create their own ‘Styles’ to both entice converts and long times users.
