LUTs Explained! 1D vs 3D LUT?

What are LUTs, or Look Up Tables? Something you'll definitely come across when it comes to digital imaging, I explain in this video how they're used, and how they work.

[@amadon3]

you are an excellent teacher. thank you for sharing your understanding of LUT's.

[@MightyMcClures]

great job explaining this

[@farkasszakal]

Agreed! 👏Very nicely covered...Thank you for this! 🙏

[@vistek]

This is fantastic. You were the only person I've ever seen explain the grid system of 3D Luts. Very well explained video. Bravo.

[@ekphrastic_poet5362]

This was explained so well. LOL. I care much more about this subject than I should after hearing this explanation. For real tho, this explanation really sparked my curiosity about this subject, and I didn't really believe that was possible. Good work. Good teaching.

[@surfyswag]

Detailed answer with great visuals, thank for you not wasting 10 minutes talking!

[@v4mp1r384]

As programmer, I relly liked the way you gave a glance at the mathematical aspect without getting too much in depth. Good job!

[@randyranson84]

I want to thank you and say you really are good at teaching intricate subjects quite simply and understandable. Great lesson.

[@OlaviMurto]

And I thought I knew how luts work... Thanks for a great explanation!

[@RandomPerson-pp7ti]

Thank you! This was the only video I could find that actually explains how they work clearly.

[@bernym4047]

I only had a vague notion of LUTs before watching this. Very clearly explained. thanks.

[@danthompson9031]

As many have already stated, you are a natural at explaining complex information. Well done.

[@SingleFocusCoaching]

THANK YOU. What a wonderful, understandable, coherant way of explaining what a LUT is. It's so refreshing to watch a vidoe that gets right to the point, completely explains the promised answers and does it with clarity. I can't wait to see the other videos you have created.

[@Dartheomus]

Fantastic. Thank you! I'm so glad you pulled it all together with the grid explanation at the end. I was trying to figure this part out with the Canon LUT naming convention.

[@colemiller2244]

Perfect video, thank you! Short, no intro, great detail and visuals.

[@normandowner3775]

Perfect came here having seen and used but with little knowledge of how they funtioned . Left knowing why some had failed and produced artifacts .a very low node value was the cause . Thanks a bunch

[@robertborghesi4349]

Made my day, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for

[@elieskateur]

Video well colorgraded with a simple but very eye pleasant look. Good composition, good skin tones and well managed lighting

[@ZackLawrenceFilms]

I've heard about LUTs for years, but never took the time to learn what they were. Thank you for the info, it was very helpful!

[@filmfanatic5068]

If only you were my math teacher in school, I would have nailed all my problems.

[@ericanders520]

That was so easy to understand and so helpful, thank you!

[@RhythmicEye]

Absolutely brilliant explanation. Visual examples are perfect for visually oriented people. BIG THANKS!

[@jorgewolynski9125]

Wow! This was explained exactly how I needed to understand the concept. Down to the pace. Probably helps that I'm a software enginee by trade. Amazing job.

[@BruceChouTW]

best LUT explaination ever

[@MiaogisTeas]

I already believed this was how it worked, but I wasn't certain - you confirmed it for me, thanks.

[@matsap]

This is a very good explaination of LUT. Reminded me of my image processing lab, but using MATLAB instead.

[@JustHackingAround]

Thank you for this explanation. The part about low resolution LUTS being a source of banding was particularly interesting.

[@RobinGroenevelt]

That was really good. I'm impressed! Thanks!

[@fomoterapi]

Very good explanation my friend. I respect that.

[@varshininaveenkumar7532]

Wow, it makes so much sense now. Thank you for explaining LUT.

[@ChrizK]

Beautifully produced video, and great explanation. I guess viewers have an understand of lookup tables, however, the only reason I am looking at this is because I am investigating 3DTV (how retro!). If my understanding is correct, LUT is used for colour (contrast, brightness etc), and has absolutely nothing to do with 3D. Currys (.co.uk) have an article "Is 3D TV still a thing?" in which they say that "Most new high-end TVs still have it. Though they’re no longer branded 3D TVs. They’re 4K UHD TVs or OLED TVs that include 3D as one of their myriad features." ...so, I am looking at TV specs, and don't see 3D as a feature, but come across 3D LUT ... maybe people appreciate lookup tables as a feature, but I find this terminology confusing (and generally unnecessary for a consumer).

[@sivaprakash9285]

My maths knowledge gained from school just tingled a bit after watching this video

[@chrisrakkestad]

Great video. All the other videoes on this stopped after the instagram analogy, which is the part I figured out myself by just choosing a LUT from the dropdown. Now I actually know what it does, which is what I wanted!

[@One_Shot]

An instagram filter, a bit more pro 😂 You made my day. 👌 Thanks for thé explanations. You rock

[@wsfvn]

Perfect, nice and bright explanation.Thanks :)

[@giuseppemilana6220]

Congrats very good and clear Explanation!

[@laurencraigmedia6131]

wow you are an incredible teacher... thank you!

[@DaveMasonNZ]

Excellently described, thanks

[@mygiguser]

that was very well explained indeed.

[@McEEb]

I like how you explained this concept. Thank you

[@rickhofstede3451]

Really the best explanation on here, you're the best man!

[@alenabejenarou8605]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. You are very knowledgeable!

[@ddddddddd9417]

Thank you for explaining so well

[@videodeconstructed]

Killed it! I will be sharing.

[@jan-hendrikbussmann4644]

Very good explanation. And I really like the animations you have used and the way you have used them to keep the video interesting and entertaining. After all, how information is presented determines if one will take it to memory after watching.

[@xDMAN14x]

Great explanation. Very clear.

[@smartintech2]

Thanks a lot for this great explanation.
So good interpolation algorithms can bring more accuracy to the result when the LUTs resolution isn't that high.

[@kiliandietrich8526]

Your explanation was awesome!! Way to go ;)!

[@jjisnow]

A really good lut explanation. I like the animations alot!

[@w0mblemania]

Beautifuly explained

[@KingClovis]

I think I get LUTs now. Next, can you explain where babies come from?
Ha! Seriously, though, great vid, thank you!

[@ivanlee1868]

it is the only video let me understand about LUT, thanks !!!

[@adproproductions2038]

Great explanation

[@LauraDuran-oj6no]

fantastic explanation thanks!!

[@minutesback]

so very well done!

[@practicallysocial]

I learned so much, thanks. Imagine a world where it's all analog and we don't have to know or use this stuff. :) Great title for the video would be LUT, WUT?

[@aaronza7218]

You are a great teacher. Thank you!

[@doc_noki]

very well done.

[@DeenOverPride]

Love the way you explained it with a very simple voice So how can I these luts

[@jacobortiz1961]

Strong work

[@joythomas_rusty.oxidado]

Thank you for this 🙌🏽

[@Uncommon-pixels]

Excellent video thank you
I’m trying to figure out if all luts are compatible with all photo or video editing softwares but cannot find a video about this
So the issue of compatibility is a topic that could be addressed

[@asheeshmathur]

Good explanation, one question, how do we read and interpret a cube file, for example. Also how to create a cube file.

[@creaturefpv]

Thx alot. Explained very well.

[@trailrunningmemories]

Errr I think I'll watch the video again, good info!!

[@rubenlegendariolezo]

Thanks! You was make a nice explication

[@gpswaraich]

Nice I understand it NOW
