Infrared LUT

12 LUTs to boost your workflow

An infrared LUT, what for?

Digital processing of infrared photos suffers from software limitations that slow down or even prevent a continuous workflow. The main limitations concern the restriction of white balance settings as well as the absence of an RGB channel mixer in derawtizers such as Lightroom or Camera RAW.

To overcome these limits and allow you to process your infrared photos from A to Z with these softwares, I have developed a pack of 12 LUTs optimized for both photo and video.

These infrared LUTs have been optimized to reveal their full potential with Adobe softwares, including Lightroom Classic.

They are based on a specific adjustment of the white balance combined with an optimized correspondence table to guarantee a wider and more subtle range of nuances than with a classic RGB channel mixer.
