    Hi,

    Can someone give some guidance on what the difference is between
    The input LUT, the output LUT and the display LUT.

    Thanks for any help,
    Danny.

    I am probably oversimplifying, but the input LUT is applied before any of the grading nodes, and the output LUT is applied after the grading nodes. The display LUT is applied only to the monitor (in other words, it doesn’t actually change the image information at all, and your renders won’t have that LUT baked in).

    You can also apply a LUT in the middle of your grading nodes, by right clicking a node and applying a LUT. I prefer to do this for certain LUTs because then I can work on the image before and after the LUT is applied.
