LIGHTROOM 6 - ICC PROFILE INSTALLATION:

=====================================

Lightroom 6 does not have native support for 3D LUTs, however, you can “Soft Proof”
their effect using the included .icc profiles. From there, you can later apply the .cube lut
file, either through a plugin like the “Apply LUT” Plugin
(https://www.johnrellis.com/lightroom/applylut.htm), or using Photoshop’s “Color
Lookup” adjustment layer.

Here’s how to add the ICC profiles so that you can preview the effects of each LUT
while still working in Lightroom 6:

1. Close Lightroom if it is open.

2. Copy the ICC profiles directly (without any enclosing folder) into the following location
on your hard drive:

MAC: Hard Drive > Library > ColorSync > Profiles

Windows: C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

3. Restart Lightroom
4. Navigate to the “Develop” tab
5. In the bottom left corner, select “Soft Proofing” (or hit the “S” shortcut key)
6. From the “Profile” drop-down menu, select “Other”
7. Select “Include Display Profiles”
8. Select a checkmark next to each ICC profile you’d like to add
9. These profiles will now appear in the profile drop-down menu
10. You can select one to soft proof the effects.
11. Hit the “Soft Proofing” checkbox (or hit “s”) to toggle the effect.

APPLYING LUT .CUBE FILES IN PHOTOSHOP

=======================================

I plan to add a feature to make it easy to apply the various LUTs directly in Lightroom 6
when you export (including exporting varying intensity levels of the LUT), but for the
time being, the easiest way is to use Photoshop.

1. Open the image in photoshop

2. Go to “Image > Adjustments > Color Lookup”
3. Click “Load 3D LUT…”
4. Navigate to the folder with .cube files, and select your LUT
5. Click OK
6. You can vary the intensity of the LUT by changing the opacity of the adjustment layer
APPLYING LUT .CUBE FILES USING “APPLY LUT” PLUGIN
===============================================

1. Download the “Apply LUT” plugin from this site:

https://www.johnrellis.com/lightroom/applylut.htm)
2. Follow instructions provided for installation
3. Once installed, go to “file > plugin-extras > Apply LUT”
4. Click “Import” and select the .cube file
5. Set the “Type” to “Creative look” and set the “Color Profile of the LUT” to “ProPhoto”
6. Click “Continue to save this setup
7. Now click “apply” to generate a TIF file with the LUT applied to it.
