WHY 3D LUTs + AI Lightroom Presets?
Expand Your Cinematic Color Grading Workflow
The NOLA Collection's 3D LUTs stand apart as a transformative tool for photographers, distinctly different from traditional presets. Unlike presets that typically adjust Lightroom's sliders to achieve desired effects, these 3D LUTs apply complex color grading without altering any slider positions, maintaining the integrity of your original edit settings. Engineered to enhance your images' dynamic range right from the start, they offer specialized shadow and highlight recovery capabilities. This means you can unveil deeper details in darker areas and retain texture in bright spots before any manual editing begins, setting a perfect canvas for further creative adjustments. The NOLA Collection's LUTs are not just about color correction; they're about expanding your creative possibilities while preserving the natural essence of your photography.

This aligns with the workflow of many photographers who prefer to preserve the original image data.
