It's about time.

This should have been a standard feature in CS3 / LR2.

How much are you selling it for, what's the release schedule, and is a native OSX version planned?

3dl files can be open in many programs for color grading. Video or still. Here I am talking about PS. .3dl is substitution table for new "Color lookup table" adjustment layer. (Photoshop CS6 and later)
You can load it from adjustment layer. Or you can put in PS 3DLUTs folder and it would be available when PS starts.

Thanks. I'll check it out when I get home.

Are there any tutorials on how to use this? Preferably video?

I would mildly disagree inasmuch that you can achieve the same effect through more traditional adjustment layers coupled with blending modes.  Doing so, though, almost always requires use of (sometimes complex) layer masks, which are almost never dynamically derived.  So, you can get the same result traditionally; it will just not be easily reproducible, nor easily updated.

To me, the real value here is that dynamism.  The fact that I can normalize color coming out of a shoot (assuming constant light temperature ratios in the FG / BG, for which there is no automatic solution presently available) and simply apply a LUT to it to achieve my end state look is incredible.

And, FWIW, inclusion of a more familiar way of doing the mapping is awesome.  If the developer moves to a true 3D projection of that color space, there really won't be much room for improvement left.

Just because you don't think it can't be done, doesn't mean it is so. Yes you can, and it might take take you longer or shorter depending on the image and the desired effect in question.

And I didn't say that you can't use masks etc.

For one thing, I can't actually click on a picture in the area that I need adjusting and tweak the color by moving the mouse - the grid gets pretty eff-ed up. The only way to do it to click on the grid itself and move it around.
Another thing... Well, the button that saves the LUT is actually disabled for me :-/

By no means I complain - I understand this is beta and I'm thankful that I even got it. Just some feedback I guess.

BTW, can I get a link to the latest version? Maybe some of the problems I have would go away?

I think you click on the image to find the region and then you go to the grid, if you move the cursor on the image then it does get nasty.
Those buttons are disabled because we have a demo only.
On the latest version you still have to click on the image and then go to the grid to make adjustments.

Hello everyone!
I'm the author of 3DLutCreator.
Finally I've got my MM account approved, so I can answer your questions, you have ones.
By the way, the program got updated:

Now it has CMS support, multi-thread processing, sending LUTs directly to Photoshop adjustment layer, saving 16-bit TIFFs, saving 3DL, Cube and CineSpace LUT formats.

I only have Cs5, can this work at all with that?

You'll be able to use it only as image editor, without the possibility to use those corrections as adjustment layer. Adjustment layer seems more convenient way to me, but Color Lookup layers are only implemented since Photoshop CS6. Anyway, program can save to TIFF, and if you think that it will be useful for you, I can make it to transfer corrected image to Photoshop CS5 as a new layer.
