rec709 LUTs - Fuji color profiles

I did some quick reverse engineering of some of the Fuji profiles and created rec709 LUTs that can achieve similar results. No Fuji camera necessary and no need to shoot with a baked-in profile!
Here is an example applied to a clip from A7rII:



Long story short took advantage of the fact that Lightroom allows color profiles to be used with RAW files. Then I computed the three-dimensional affine transformation that can remap the default color space from adobe to any of the Fuji psrofiles.
I can do a much better job if I find color samples that span most of the 3D space. For this I used 4 sample images from dpreview and imaging resource.
The good thing is that I can use the program that I wrote to compute any transformation that is needed. For example S-log/s-gammut to rec709, or slog to clog, rec709Sony to rec709Fuji etc... I only need two images from the two profiles with the same color information such as a colorchecker and of course neutral WB and same exposure.
 You can find the LUTs attached. I hope you enjoy them! Don't forget you can use them on images too with Photoshop...

Lightroom & Skin tones

Many of you will call me crazy, but I got spoiled from the colors (especially the skintones) that I can get from my A7rii in video with the custom profiles. Still profiles in camera just do not have the same customization level as in the video. Even crazier was the fact that I could not get the stills to look as good with Lightroom, unless I spent a significant amount of time fine tuning all different color settings for each picture. While Lightroom offers plenty of controls to mess with color, it still does not give you the full control like 3D LUTs do (check this to see what I mean). Lightroom has some default camera profiles that you can use but none of them really look that good. For example with the A7rii the default Adobe Standard looks washed out and the Camera portrait has Sony's renowned green-yellow skin tones. Then I found out about the  DNG profile editor , which acts like an LUT editor for stills. It is quite straight fo...

eGPU for video processing on a laptop – Does it make sense?

I needed a portable solution that could also serve as my video editing station so I had to decide if a quad core with a dGPU is that important in my workflow. I did a small test with proxy generation in FCPX across MBP 15", MBP 13" & MB 12". It was with 3 XAVC-S 4K files with a total of 10min duration, located on an external USB3 hard drive: MBP 15" 2.7 455 2016        ~ 3.5 min MBP 13" 3.3 2016              ~ 4.5 min MB 12" m7 2016               ~ 15.5 min I knew the 12" throttled but after the test I realized how much it can affect performance. I was very impressed with the performance of the 13", it was much closer to the 15” than expected for a supposedly CPU heavy task.  The 13” would be a problem for Resolve though because it lacks a dGPU, but the eGPU solution looked promising so I got an AKiTiO Node to try...
