LUTs: A Primer

A “LUT”, or “lookup table”, is an array of preselected values

used in movie color-correction to map colors from the

original input footage to the desired colors in the nal

output. Color correction is performed by looking up input

colors and assigning them new RGB values based on the

data in the table.

A lookup table that treats each of the red, green, and blue

channels separately is a“1D LUT”, which cannot be used to

correct saturation or hue. Such corrections require a “3D

LUT”, in which each combined RGB value maps to a single

combined value in the table.

Using LUTs with N-Log

Designed to take full advantage of sensor dynamic range,

Nikon’s unique “N-Log” logarithmic gamma curve oers

excellent balance between highlights and shadows and is

optimized for 10-bit movie recording. Information on lm-

ing N-Log footage can be found in Technical Guide (N‑Log

Recording Edition) handbooks available from the Nikon

Download Center.

Designed specically for the purpose, Nikon’s N-Log 3D

LUT greatly makes color grading N-Log footage a snap. Al-

though the N-Log gamma curve captures a wide range of

tones, the raw footage will seem to lack contrast and must

be color graded for display on Rec. 709 monitors.

LUTs: A Primer

To color grade N-Log footage using the N-Log 3D LUT, you

will need third-party movie editing software. This guide

shows how to apply the N-Log 3D LUT using Blackmagic

Design’s DaVinci Resolve 15.

Compatible Applications

In addition to DaVinci Resolve, the following applications can

be used with the N‑Log 3D LUT:

• Adobe: Premiere Pro

• Apple: Final Cut Pro X

Note that Nikon neither endorses this software nor guaran‑

tees its operation.

Contact the publishers for information on using these appli‑

cations.

Before proceeding, you will need to install DaVinci Resolve

15 and download the N-Log 3D LUT.
