In this video we’re going to look at one of the ways I add style to my photos with Color Lookup Tables (LUTs). At the same time, you’ll learn a blend mode trick that works for any layer if it ever gets to be too much for your photos and a quick way to tone it down.
My Favorite Tool for Styling Photos in Photoshop

I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
Matt, maybe you can do a quick tip video on when to use LUT vs Gradient maps and the pros and cons.
Thanks.
Looking forward to your releasing of your lookup tables. Keep us posted

Matt, great tip. Definitely saving this one to my pocket set.

i looked into c:\windows\system32…
and c:\program files\common files,…
and they are not available

Not sure Marc. You’d have to ask Greg where he got it.
hallo,
several people voted to add gradient map (for deep black and white like Jim Welninski ones) and lut in on1 photoraw.
let’s hope they will implement…
kind regards
marc
amazing trick !
in 2017 i had seen your previous post with your psd and stopped there.
now on win10 i can visualize lut on my image just with arrow keys and enjoy the color blend mode trick
kind regards

Hey Matt,
Wow, Great info on color blend mode! Love the way you explained it. I’ve always wondered what it did … now I know. So, what happens if you click on Luminousity Blend mode? Does it just affect the Luminousity like the Color Blend mode? Could you do a tutorial on that?
Once again, thanks for the Great info!
Dennis
I like your style and way of teaching. I will certainly have to get one of your courses. Also, I was talking to a friend of yours who told me to say hello – Jim Welinski and he stuck out his tongue too.
Thanks Gary. Jim is awesome!!! 🙂
