LUTs for Canon Log 2 and Log 3

The conversion and the look are both inside the file, so there is nothing to set up first and nothing to fix afterwards. Drop it on and the shot is finished.

What it does to a picture

The same frame, converted two ways.

The pier at sunrise through PursuitLuts, the sky holding its gradient and cloud. The same frame through a plain conversion, the sky burned out to flat white. Plain conversion PursuitLuts

Shot on a RED. Our files render the same scene the same way on every camera we support, and we measure that rather than claim it. How we check.

What's in the Canon pack

Canon Log 2 / Cinema Gamut

The flattest Canon curve, for full grading control.

Canon Log 3 / Cinema Gamut

Less range, more contrast, quicker to work with.

Each format comes in three outputs: Rec.709 Gamma 2.4 for TV and grading monitors, Gamma 2.2 for computer screens and the web, and P3 for cinema projection.

Four looks, all included

Three scenes through each look. Shot on a RED, and every camera's files render them the same way.

Three scenes through the Base look: a face, a sunrise and a white bird.
Base. Neutral and true. The one to start from if you do want to grade.
The same three scenes through the Film look, softer with lifted blacks.
Film. Blacks that never reach zero, softer contrast, colour pulled back, cool shadows against warm light.
The same three scenes through the Outdoor look, more contrast and deeper blues.
Outdoor. Strong contrast, deep blues, greens that stay green.
The same three scenes through the Travel look, golden and richer.
Travel. Golden highlights and richer colour, with skin left alone.

The same colours through each look

Every colour, dark on the left to very bright on the right, with a grey ramp along the bottom. It is the quickest way to see what a look actually does.

Colour sweep through the Base look.

24 files in the Canon pack: every look, every format, every output.

Set the input to Canon Cinema Gamut with Canon Log 2 or Canon Log 3, whichever you shot. They are different curves and the wrong one lands visibly off.

Canon needs care: the published formulas carry a 0.9 factor that Resolve does not apply. We measured that against Resolve and match it, which is worth about 0.15 of a stop. The detail is here.
