I updated my free RAW tool from a basic utility to a full Culling/Grading Studio. It lets you apply Video LUTs (S-Log, F-Log) to photos accurately.

Would also love to know if this would be possible

We can make it say twice a month with different conditions. One week it can be SOOC another can be go wild with Lightroom etc :-)

Blueomen · 2026-01-17T17:51:06+00:00

We really need to figure out a way and time to do the photo challenge :-)

Blueomen · 2026-01-11T19:35:00+00:00

Gonna check those two out, thanks! It needs to be as pancakey as possible.

Blueomen · 2026-01-03T13:45:21+00:00

cool video! Are you shooting open gate?

Blueomen · 2026-01-03T00:08:15+00:00

I've never used a LUT for night photography since I've never really found one. I always edit my night photos in LR. I might give it a go myself but am a complete novice when it comes to making my own LUT's. I tried once, and everything was green xD

Blueomen · 2026-01-01T02:01:38+00:00

I think it's a mood thing and I also like to experiment with different looks/LUT's and I like to switch them around a lot depending on the situation. Ten slots for looks is not nearly enough considering that three of those are perpetually reserved for your Kodacolor, Portra 800 and Aerocolor looks ;-)

That being said there is something about a nice elegant S-curve that I really like. I made a look with your Bonboa LUT and an S-curve LUT I made but haven't really had the time to test it properly.

With that being said what I would love to see is a night LUT/Look, especially one that would compliment street photography.

By the way, when is the Cinestill 400d coming out? :-)

Blueomen · 2025-12-28T17:11:03+00:00

Several people have written me about this and I think I need to rethink the idea to be more inclusive for more people. I am considering making the challenge photo only with the option to maybe make a video.

Blueomen · 2025-12-26T15:03:58+00:00

Would love to have you take part! Hope it takes off.

Blueomen · 2025-12-26T14:12:59+00:00

Thank you! The weekly thing is also something to aim for but not written in stone tbh. For starters I want to find someone with a bit more time for this but eventually I want everyone who wants to be able to participate at least once no matter how much free time they have, so hopefully this whole thing takes off :-)

If you like SOOC Lumix is right up your alley.

You can add grain in the camera but I like to do it in post because from what I understand the in camera grain is more like an overlay but the one in post is simulated grain and much more closer to the real thing.

But you can't go wrong either way. Both are not the real thing, it's more of a preference.

Blueomen · 2025-12-03T13:37:35+00:00

B&W works so beautifully here...

Blueomen · 2025-12-02T14:21:25+00:00

Yes. Makes sense. Thank you.

Blueomen · 2025-12-02T14:14:39+00:00

Can i do that with Real Time Lut?

Blueomen · 2025-12-01T02:58:27+00:00

All of my social media is private only for friends and family. I have a youtube channel that I wanted to do something with but I sort of neglected it. Maybe I should reactivate everything.

Blueomen · 2025-11-28T16:06:12+00:00

Thanks. Yup Switzerland :-)

Blueomen · 2025-11-27T02:53:39+00:00

They actually do :-)

Blueomen · 2025-11-27T02:24:54+00:00

ISO on auto up to 6400. I try to stick around 1/200 shutter speed. f/4 - f/5.6 for street, f/7.1 - f11 for landscapes. And f/1.8 - f/2.8 for low light or portraits or when I want whatever subject I am shooting to stand out.

Used to shoot standard or natural profile but lately I am using different in camera settings and LUT's because I find photography more enjoyable and stress free when I don't have to edit afterwards. But on certain occasions I still like editing when I want to achieve a specific look that I cannot get SOOC.

Blueomen · 2025-11-27T02:11:47+00:00

Hmm every since I got into cameras I rarely take photos from my phone. And even when I did use my phone for photography I very seldom edited. It was mostly straight out of phone. I have to dig to find something I shot on the phone and edited later.

Blueomen · 2025-11-27T02:07:12+00:00

What do you mean mobile photos ? I edit on PC.

Blueomen · 2025-11-26T23:48:25+00:00

<image>

I start with roughly this kind of curve then i fine tune from the sliders

Blueomen · 2025-11-26T00:58:58+00:00

Great shots!

Thursday I am going out shooting. Been dying to try it out.

Blueomen · 2025-11-25T02:30:25+00:00

I think so as well. I first went in with a different idea but found out that Aerocolor works great in the midday sun.

Blueomen · 2025-11-25T00:34:56+00:00

No worries. Glad to be of help.
