Colour Grading
What are LUTs?
Everything you need to know before you hit apply.
The basics
LUT stands for Look-Up Table — a colour tool that instantly remaps the tones, contrast, and hues in your footage. Think of it as a precise, repeatable colour recipe applied in one click.
For photo + video shooters
Shooting both stills and motion? LUTs bridge the gap. Apply the same visual language across your wedding film and your Lightroom edits — consistent mood, no extra effort.
Why Archipelago
Each LUT is adapted directly from an Archipelago Lightroom preset and tested across cameras and conditions — built for nuance and emotion, not just a trendy look.
