[Luka Sanader]

Can't speak for anybody else, but philmColor has gone through extreme rigorous testing industry-wide. Post houses, colorists, filmmakers, production companies, etc. Last round Monstro was the keystone reference as well as Komodo, first couple of months of Raptor being released that was fully tested over the course of about 90 days. Since everything is IPP2, all LUTs work with anything RED in the RWG/Log3G10 color space and gamma. And in this case now any camera you transform into RWG/Log3G10.

Spent years making the last release. I'd love for everybody to check it out. Very wide range of looks that don't muck up you're footage.

Luka,

Was there a specific characteristic of Monstro that you needed a specific lut to fix? Something that a generally available IPP2 lut couldn't do? If you don't mind uploading a .R3D Frame, I can show you how to make one very easily in Resolve. But as I've mentioned before, Phil's philmColor v3 IPP2 LUTs are the best on the planet for an IPP2 Workflow.

How To Make An IPP2 Compatible Creative Lut For A Node Based IPP2 Output Transform Workflow And For An IPP2 Color Managed Workflow.

1) Go To The Project Settings by Either Clicking On The Menu Item under the "FILE" header, By Pressing "Shift+9" or by Clicking on the "COG Wheel" in the bottom "Right-Hand" Corner.

2) Now Go To The "CAMERA RAW" Settings And Make These Changes Below.

3) Go To "COLOR MANAGEMENT" And Select These Settings

4) Next Import One Or More RED .R3D Files Into Resolve. The Screengrab Below Shows How The .R3D File Will Look When It is Brought Into Resolve.

5) Add A Second NODE After The First NODE And Apply An IPP2 Output Transform Lut To It( In This Case I Chose a Medium/ Soft Ipp2 Transform Lut). Next Add As Many Nodes As Needed "BEFORE" The Node With The IPP2 Transform Lut Applied To It To Complete Your Desired Grade For A "LOOK"

6) Now 'DISABLE" The NODE That Has The "IPP2 OUTPUT TRANSFORM LUT" Applied To It. Now " RIGHT-CLICK" On The Clip You Graded in the "Clip View" And Select "GENERATE LUT" And You Can Chose Either A 17, 33 or 65 Point Cube Size. Your Lut Is Done.

1) Go To "COLOR MANAGEMENT" Again. Uncheck the " AUTOMATIC COLOR MANAGEMENT" Box To Disable It So That You Will Have More Options To Choose From. Then Select "CUSTOM" And Choose These Settings( You Can Choose What IPP2 Output Tone Map and Highlight Roll-Off You Want, I Chose Medium/Soft)

2) Here Is The IPP2 Creative Lut We Made Earlier

Can't go wrong with Phil Color. Highly recommended!

There was also I remember a hack of a DXL Panavision LUT that someone came up with... I personally like and while not just using only that LUT I did used it quite a bit as a starting point for some projects I used it on...Had a very natural look to it... Ill try to find it or where it was posted in RU...
