HALD LUTs for deeper skintones

Software RawTherapee

I’d like to contribute these two HALD LUTs that can deepen skin tones, make them livelier.
Can be used at lower Opacity/Strength to one’s liking.

If RT could support 3DL or CUBE formats, this can be made much more portable.

Enjoy:)

If you share them in cube it could be used by darktable, gmic and probably more.
Thanks!

haldclut , 3D lut and cube (adobe)lut are just the same thing, just different format.
I think that some GMIC guru can provide the command to transform the haldclut in Cube.
edit : I think Gmic and Darktable use natively Hald Clut

If you don’t mind, I’ve added your CLUTs in the G’MIC filter “Colors / Colors Presets”, in your own new category “Michael Ezra”.

EDIT: in G’MIC, every CLUT is (lossly) compressed to save space (we already provide 864 different CLUTs in the plug-in), so the result of the G’MIC filter may be slightly different than using your original HaldCLUT (thus not so perceptible hopefully).

You are welcome. Honestly, I’ve been trying to get this for years, but yesterday it just hit me… figured it out in 20 minutes.
