Hey, that looks really great. I think this is a very useful feature for e.g. prototyping or bringing in one’s own processing.
Mind blowing! Thank you Alberto!
Both kinds of LUTs must be enabled at compile time, by setting respectively
ENABLE_OCIOandENABLE_CTLtoTruein CMake.
Hello Alberto, I don’t see a single file called CMake, so where do I set both values to True?
Hi Paul,
aren’t that CMake parameters? So when you configure the project, it’s like:
cmake .. -DENABLE_OCIO=True -DENABLE_CTL=True
HTH,
Flössie
Hello Flössie, yes of course it should be that, I wasn’t fully awake yet!
But when I run the cmake command, I see the errors below. I installed OpenColorIO this morning from Synaptic but that version is too old apparently. Am I supposed to find those missing things on Github?
Thanks for your help,
Paul.

Sorry, the instructions were a bit terse indeed. To use the scripts you need to build and install the CTL interpreter from GitHub - ampas/CTL: The Color Transformation Language (CTL). I don’t think there are pre-built packages for this (but I might be wrong). Once installed, you need to tell ART where to find the CTL headers and libraries. Assuming you installed in /usr/local (the default), this should do:
cmake -DENABLE_CTL=1 -DCTL_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include/CTL /path/to/ART
HTH
Thanks, I’ll try that later today.
There’s an old package on Arch’s AUR repository, but it is too old and complains not finding ilmbase. In fact there was a change since version 3.0 of OpenEXR, and having just OpenEXR > 3.0 installed is enough for building the CTL interpreter from source, which is straightforward.
I confirm CTL scripts support works fine.
In the film color grading world, Davinci Resolve works now sith DCTL’s, I supposed it works on the same principle? Some cool DCTL’s have been made, some of them manipulating “color density” instead of “color saturation” allowing for a more “film saturation look”. I guess the same could be made in ART with appropriate CTL scripts?
Yes, that should be possible indeed. In fact, I’d expect that porting davinci scripts should be trivial, afaik dctl is effectively a variant of ctl with some davinci-specific functions for interfacing with the gui (I might be wrong though - if someone knows any better I’m all ears 
Do you have a link to the specific script you are talking about?
Indeed it doesn’t seem too complicated, even for the GUI interfacing. Many interesting dctl’s are actually encrypted to be sold as plugins, but I was able to find a free one here, and here’s the content of the color density script:

It works, thank you!
I think it’s supposed to “saturate” the colors but without increase the brightness, that’s why it’s called density instead of saturation.
Here’s a link to a short video showing off the use of commercial dctl’s to manipulate saturation by increasing color density (it compares classic RGB saturation to the dctl density): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6z5q71xodg

Hi, I put some more example scripts in a separate repository. Initially I thought about bundling some of them with ART, but for now I think it’s better to keep them separate, so that they can evolve more easily.

Thanks Alberto, It works on Fedora 39 with the “CTL-devel” rpm package

Hello @agriggio,
Is this feature planned to be included in future ART releases or it must be added by compilation of source code?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes the interpreter will definitely be in the next release. The scripts will probably be kept separate, at least for now. Eventually if some of them turns out to be particularly useful it might get integrated, but we’ll see

Thanks a lot! Hope new release will be issued soon.
@agriggio Hi Alberto, I don’t know if it’s of interest for you, but I found this source of utility DCTL’s, maybe you’ll find something cool: GitHub - thatcherfreeman/utility-dctls: My creative and util DCTLs.
By the way, did you translate de Film Density dctl by hand, or do you have some translation script? I tried to translate a dctl by hand, using your Film Density ctl as an example, but I failed.

Hi,
Thanks for the pointer, I’ll check it out.
Yes. But I don’t like it that much. I think the tetrahedral warping ones (especially the hsl which is easier to use) are much better.
As for the translation, if something goes wrong you should get error messages on the terminal that are hopefully helpful…

Hi,
Now you should be able to use ART-cli to do some error checking, like this:
$ ART-cli --check-lut /path/to/script.ctl
If you don’t get any output, the script should load fine. Otherwise, you will see a list of errors.
HTH
