To see more about the possibilities for LUTs, Cubes and Gamma Curves see the LUTs and Cubes page.

Look at the following two images to see what I mean.

The above image shows a Viper frame as captured in FilmStream mode, with its low contrast imagery, and classic green tinge.

If the following View LUT is used:

The displayed image becomes a more pleasing 'graded' image.

And as can be seen, with the ViewLUT applied it is a lot easer to make creative judgments about the image cinematography, lighting, etc., although within the captured low-contrast, high-dynamic range image there is a lot more detail, especially within the low-light areas of this image.

What has to be remembered is that the ViewLUT is only used for on-set viewing, and is not a critical part of any grading, and the captured image data is as per the original unaltered image.

For information on on-set grading, which can form part of the later critical grading process, see On-set Grading.
