Lookup tables (LUTs) have traditionally been used in cinematography to give a L film a consistent look from scene to scene. Think of The Matrix and that green sheen that covers everything. LUTs are useful in photography, not just commercially where you want a set of images to all have the same tone, but also for enthusiasts as they can be a quick way of giving your images a specific look without spending any time creating it. Affinity Photo 2 lets you save your own custom LUTs that you can then load as adjustment layers on other images.
