Juan Melara Print Film Emulation LUTs
What it is
Juan Melara Print Film Emulation LUTs reproduce a print film stock’s density and colour response to preview how an image may appear when printed. The free downloadable set includes Fujifilm 3510, Kodak 2383, and Kodak 2393 emulations. These LUTs expect log film scans in Rec.709 colour space; the maker describes a Color Space Transform as one way to prepare footage. Instructions cover installing a LUT in DaVinci Resolve and applying it through a node’s 3D LUT menu. For editable, colour-managed grading, five RCM / DaVinci Wide Gamut PowerGrades cover Kodak 2383, Kodak 2393, Fujifilm 3510, Fujifilm 3513DI, and Fujifilm 3521XD. They are described for SDR and HDR grading in standard or node-based RCM workflows, and each includes an eight-minute usage and setup video. Individual PowerGrades cost $29.99, paid once; the bundle costs $89.99, paid once. The maker notes that the LUTs can be difficult when a client’s product colour must match a swatch precisely, while the editable PowerGrade allows adjustments. The offering is listed for Windows and macOS and includes one LUT.
