Hi Glyn!
First off, thanks for a great channel! I've only just discovered you. Having spent lots of time watching videos about Photoshop and Lightroom, I'd got to the point where nobody was teaching me anything new. That's all changed. In the last few days, you've taught me some really cool new tricks. AND... your showing how these tricks transform your terrific photos. I'm really looking forward to watching everything you've got.
I read Wouter's question and your reply below. My first thought is that if you saved your LUT as an ICC profile, Photoshop's profile browser would give you the kind of instant preview Wouter is looking for. Of course, I have no idea yet, why you're suggesting the .CUBE format rather than .ICC. Is the answer in one of your other videos?
Thanks again for a brilliant channel!

[@wouterj.vanduin8706]

Very useful information, thanks. One question on the same issue of Luts is this. Is there a way to quickly see the effect a Lut will have on an image by scrolling through a list of options just like is possible with develop-presets in Lightroom?

[@glyndewis]

Hi Wouter...Unfortunately not just yet in Photoshop or Lightroom, but I can't imagine that would be long in coming.

[@primermag]

Hi Glyn, Great video: well paced and delivered walk through hitting on some snags I had to discover the long way previously. Two questions: It looks like when you add your Layer preset bundle at the end that the image is more washed out than when you were showing the "Done" image earlier, is that true or am I crazy? Second, I export my LUT from my adjustment layers per your instructions and then create a Profile in ACR to use as a profile preset in Lightroom and ACR within Photoshop - however the colors are way off from the adjustment layers I made...Not wrong like when you had all of the layers turned on, but like the saturation is too high and some of the hues are off. My assumption is the profile should match the adjustment layers 1:1. Any thoughts?

[@glyndewis]

Hi There. Ok so to answer your questions yeah the only reason it looks washed out is because I didn't add the colouring and then do the rest of the retouching as in the original image; this was purely to show you how to save and then add them into an image. My original 'final' image did have other steps done to it but not colouring...contrast. Re your second question...what colour space are you using in Lightroom and Photoshop? the same or different? eg ProPhoto RGB in Lightroom and Adobe RGB in Photoshop? Asking because I've never experienced this and for both LR and PS I have there same colour space. Let me know 👍

[@john3Lee]

👍👍👍👍

[@glyndewis]

Thanks John 😉

[@iandobson8846]

Another silly question perhaps, could this be done in Lightroom rather than Photoshop?

[@glyndewis]

Sadly not yet...there isn't anywhere near the flexibility and options for making, using and saving LUTs in Lightroom as there is (currently) in Photoshop

[@BrentRivers]

Glenn I'm curious if an export can include plugin adjustments to layere such as NIK color efex or NIK Viveza.

[@glyndewis]

That wouldn't work mate I'm afraid as the adjustments made are within different software and returned to Photoshop as a solid layer...rather than a repeatable 'adjustment' layer of some sort..if that makes sense
