Lightworks NLE (video editor) is a very quality program, having been used by Hollywood for decades and now being ported from their propietary hardware to Windows/Apple/Linux, and it can import photos & video, but doesn’t output photos, only videos. My Canon 70D is a DSLR, so firstly its a photography camera and secondarily, its a video camera, so I figured that would make it even easier.

I thought it’d be simple like it is on the video end of things - just select the LUT you shot in. I was just trying to figure out how to restore the color of my photos that were taken with one of the most popular LUTs, developed by a major company (Technicolor) used by Canon users (extremely popular professional cameras) using RawTherapee (an incredibly wonderful and powerful program). I didn’t realize this could be so involved/convoluted. I’m not even sure if the tiff version will maintain the exif accordingly? The HaldCLUT identity file is just one I generated using imagemagick (Q16), convert hald:16 out.png.

So all of your points are 100% valid and should absolutely be taken into account.

My concern is that we’re also using the Canon Log files, and I’m not even sure what colorspace it may be working in (I don’t have a Canon to bother with it).
