LUTs in Gaming

In gaming, LUTs (Look-Up Tables) are tools used to adjust the color and tone of the game’s visuals. Think of them as filters or presets that change how colors appear, enhancing mood or realism. For example, a LUT can make a scene look more vibrant, dimmer, cooler, or warmer, aligning the visuals with the game's artistic style or creating a cinematic feel. They are widely used in post-processing to fine-tune color grading quickly and consistently, ensuring consistent visual storytelling and immersion throughout the game.
