Well, there are several places where a LUT can be applied. Once in the beginning, to get you recorded video data to a known state (kind of replaces input color profile), then there are final looks LUTs that are to be applied in the very end (to make the linear pixels look ok, adding a gamma curve and maybe some film emulation, so basically the final grading). And then there are intermediate ones like you ask for. We discussed that a few times internally and while I would like to support that, there is the problem of WHERE to have such a module in the pipe. Or if we should add LUT support in a single new module plus the the input/output color profile modules? So many options ... If you have more insight I would like to hear about it. > AFAIK, ready to use implementation of this transformation is provided by > OpenColorIO library via LookTransform function.

I wouldn't like to add that dependency as it's a rather big one and somewhat opposed to the ICC based workflow we use. But we don't need it anyway, I already have written some test code that reads cube files and applies them. > A have created issue for this https://redmine.darktable.org/issues/11217 > > Was there in the past any discussion about such iop?
