Not compatible with layers in Capture One.Previewing files available to have a preview of each LUT effect.Film grain pack included with each package.Subscription available for continuous updates and support.Affordable for the numbers of presets available.The two other packages are cheaper, $39 for the Standard and $29 for the Basic, but don’t support Capture One and Lightroom, and come with fewer LUTs (60 for the Standard and 30 for the Basic).

It’s a one time fee, but if you’d like to have continuous support and updates available to you, you can then pay a small price of $19.90 per year.

The Professional package is priced at $59 and gives access to 204 LUTs, compatibility with Lightroom and Capture One, priority support and updates, a film grain pack compatible with 4K and 50-megapixel images, RED IPP2 tailored LUTs, and a unique movies-inspired pack of LUTs. Note, however, that only the Professional package comes with compatibility for Lightroom and Capture One. It’s complicated to say for sure each, and every one of the LUTs yields beautiful results because with the Professional subscriptions there are over 200 presets available. Even the Standard option offers 60 LUTs. They do look fantastic. I’ve mostly used the cine looks as well as the orange and cyan packages, but the other ones are great as well. You can use them for color grading purposes only or luminosity tweaks just as well by playing with the blending mode of the LUT layer (hue, saturation, color, or luminosity) and thus adjust how much of an impact it will make on your image. One last thing I love about LUTs is when editing in Photoshop. Lowering the saturation by -10 or -20 after applying a LUT in Capture One helps to keep the colors more natural Quite the opposite, they are stunning and made my work faster on many occasions. But it’s not to stay I didn’t use the presets and wouldn't recommend them. This is why I wish we could change the opacity, or alter only the colors while leaving luminosity alone in Capture One and Lightroom. Not that the presets wouldn’t work for beauty or fashion, but I just find them quite drastic in terms of color grading, and it made it hard to maintain natural looking colors as I need. Retouching mostly beauty and fashion work, I didn’t use these presets every day as I want to keep control over everything when editing these genres. But it's not available for Lightroom, and doesn't offer as much control as layers do.

The only alternative currently available is using the 25%, 50%, and 75% ICC profiles offered by for Capture One to gain more control. But, as an advantage, no slider is touched, and thus you have a blank canvas with already a beautiful color grading and contrast applied to work with. Same goes in Lightroom, even when relying on presets to change the opacity of a preset. However, the ICC profile is applied to the image itself, it cannot be used on a layer and thus the opacity of the presets cannot be altered. With Capture One 11, I can change the opacity of my presets when applied to a layer. This method has both a huge advantage and a substantial inconvenient. Notice the ICC profile is not that of the Nikon D750 on the file after a preset has been applied. In Capture One, it relies on presets to alter your ICC profile while in Lightroom it seems a bit more tedious and requires the use of soft proofing to change the color profile. Instead, you’ll have to change the color profile of your file to see the LUTs being applied to your image. The presets in Capture One and Lightroom won’t move around sliders for you. The difference is subtle but has its importance. In some ways in it is, as it applies pre-saved settings and color grading to your images or sequences, but at the same time the presets, in this case, are genuinely LUTs made compatible with Lightroom and Capture One. I’m not sure if calling the LUTs presets is correct. But does it work this way and are the presets that good? I’ve been trying professional package during the last month and here are my feelings about it. Being able to access the same presets no matter the app I’m working with is fantastic. That’s less to remember and consistent color toning made easier. When I stumbled upon it seemed too good to be true: LUTs that works with both Capture One and Lightroom, but also as any other LUT with most video editors and with Photoshop. It meant I’d be able to color grade photos the same way I do videos.
