“Instead of, you know, learning how to grade. Everything that a LUT does (and more) can be replicated with grading tools.”
Wake up and smell the coffee !
LUT – Look-up Table
My monitors use lut for calibration – my i1Display Pro / graphic card use lut ! I use lut with my Atomos Ninja Flame ! I use lut from log to rec.709 – I use lut with my GH4 – My Dji Mavic Pro – GoPro Hero 4 – sometimes i make my own in Photoshop and save them for my NLE !
You still have to color correct and adjust grade even when you use a lut !
