added LUTs for use on Camera & Monitors
⚠️ Sony cameras support LUTs up to a size of 33 points. To ensure best quality, all my LUTs come as 65 point cubes. I added a folder called "EOS Alpha LUTs - Camera & Monitor Version". In there, you'll find all the same LUTs. These are meant to be loaded into your camera or monitor.
-
Added the following LUTs:
Canon
C-Log BT709
C-Log BT2020
C-Log 2 BT709
C-Log 2 BT2020
C-Log 3 BT709

Sony
HLG (Important info below)
Olympus
Flat BT709
OM-Log 400 BT2020
OM-Log 400 P3-D65
⚠️ Sony HLG: According to Sony’s white paper, HLG, HLG1, HLG2 and HLG3 share the same gamma-curve. They only differ in noise-reduction. Therefore, the HLG LUT can be used for all flavours of HLG.
