This is a work in progress, and will be further supplemented, updated and improved as time goes on.
- Latest Update: April 2021 – Created a seperate page for largest collection Haldcluts/Luts
I made a Workshop here, on where to find, how to install and how to use – but above all lots of links to the largest collection of HaldCluts/Luts you can think of.
Do you know any others? please contact me and i will be happy to add them.
Film Emulation / Simulation / HaldCluts or Luts are images in which a certain reference color profile is stored – the color profile can be applied to another image with one click
Important:
When applying a simulation in Rawtherapee, be it a preset, profile or Lut, always reset the processing drop down list to neutral – otherwise you will get a combination of different settings, and not the desired result.

Stuart Sowerby has created a set of Fujifilm simulation LUT’s for use in RawTherapee and other software, specificaly for Fuji X Trans sensor II and III. Thanks Stuart !
Note: The term profiles can be misleading, because, in RawTherapee we speak of “profiles” when using .pp3 script files that alter specific settings in RT.
Pat David : Probably the most comprehensive set out there – over 400MB of “real film” HaldCluts, all made by Pat David, Thanks Pat!
Marc Roovers – PictureFX : A set made by myself. A series of CLUTS for use in RawTherapee or other compatible medium. PictureFX helps to create personalized and artistic effects. PictureFX is also available in G’MIC, Thank You David Tschumperlé ! and in the Free Online Film Emulator made by Jonas Wagner, Thanks Jonas ! – Update september 2020 a new set is released inspired by the theme “Mystical”, perhaps the start of a whole new series of haldcluts? who knows, first see if this one catches on with other photographers. Update January 2021 – a whole new set of Fujifilm Simulation Luts is in the making, as well as a workshop on how to make and use it, and how to give your pictures an even more analog look.
Out of category: Krzysiu from Poland – Not directly a link to haldcluts, but here in the words of the man himself: “Imagine all the images processing in baaatchhh, yeah. You may say I’m dreamer, but now I’ve got a tool. I hope someday you’ll clone it and many operations will become one.”Batch create files with RawTherapee using all possible HaldCLUT presets. While it uses PHP, I’m trying to make it simple for users who don’t know this language.batchHaldCLUT : https://github.com/Krzysiu/batchHaldCLUT
How to use Luts in Rawtherapee ?
