2- filmpack, yep another spending to have more controls and abilities to work on black and white images, yep those controls shouldn’t be add-on for elite other than the presets. import an external LUT and apply it on top of the camera profile. 1- viewpoint, yep another spending for straightening pictures and I agree it should be incorporated not as add-on with the elite. ‘dxo neutral color, realistic tonality (gamma 2.2)’) to I get a neutral and consistent basis from one camera to another, 2. What I would like to be able to do is 1.So you will get unpredictable results, different from one to another. But color rendering of Adobe camera profiles varies from camera to camera. This is actually one of DxO Photo Lab advantages over competitor! Indeed, if you apply a ‘film preset’ in Lightroom, it will be applied on top whatever camera profile is specified. from DxO Film Pack), what DxO apparently does is first applying a ‘neutral’ camera profile, then the selected film rendering (which is very likeky LUT-based) on top. When you use a ‘film’ color rendering (e.g.But this is anything but user friendly, may require a test chart, complex software… And you have to repeat that for every single camera you own and, ideally, different lighting conditions! The workaround is to build a camera profile that encompasses both the camera profile and the LUT.But if you do that, it will replace the camera color profile…what will simply not work and give you completely upside-down colors! At the moment, the only way to load a LUT in DxO Photo Lab is to import a *.icc or *.dcp file from the ‘Color Rendering’ tab.Last but not least: It’s important to notice that some color transformations done by LUTs are simply not possible to replicate with DxO Photo Lab tools! So it’s not only about being quick and consistent, it’s also about getting results that are impossible to get otherwise (at least, not with DxO PL alone).The LUT can be used alone when you want to do quick and consistent post-processing, as a complement of a preset, or as a complement of your ‘hand made’ post processing. Of course, you’re free to post-process your pictures as you want on top on the LUT.

You can also build your own with dedicated software like Color Cones, 3D LUT Creator, LUTify, etc.

You can dowload for free or buy LUTs from Internet.(Even if it got better with version 3 and the introduction of ‘HSL’ Color Wheel…)

Unlike presets they can achieve color transofrmations which are not possible using DxO Photo Lab tools. But unlike presets, LUTs are not software dependant (you can use them in different software). LUTs allows extremely quick color grading, like ‘presets’.LUTs are extremely popular for video color grading, but can also be used for stills (photo).
