DESCRIPTION

From jade forests to cerulean seas, these Vibrant Nature LUTs will help bring out the color in your nature photos and videos.

All five keep true blacks and clean whites and add saturation: Mossy Green warms the image and makes greens richer and more yellow, Golden Blues gives the midtones a slight green tint, Warm Basque makes reds much richer, and Crisp Terranova is the subtlest. After you apply one, lower the layer opacity in Photoshop or the LUT intensity in your video app if the look is too strong.

One zip holds the 5 LUTs as .CUBE files for Photoshop’s Color Lookup, the same 5 in .3DL, .CSP, .CUBE and .ICC for video and other apps, plus 4 sample images to practice on and the PDF install guide.

Vibrant Nature LUTs · 5 Looks

Richer Earth, Water and Forest Color

Five LUTs that boost greens, blues and golden browns in outdoor scenes. Use them on photos and video in Photoshop, Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve and other apps that read LUTs.

Crisp Terranova

Crisp Terranova adds depth and richer color to a hazy savanna. The dusty ground turns a deeper orange-brown, the acacia trees and giraffes stand out more, and the pale mountain keeps its soft haze. Contrast rises by a little under a tenth.

Darker Shadows, Same Highlights

Shadows and lower midtones come down, with a quarter-tone gray dropping to about 20 percent and middle gray to 47, while the upper tones stay put. That adds contrast without darkening the sky. Pure black stays black and white holds at 99 percent.

An Even Boost in Color

Every color gains between 12 and 23 percent saturation and sits slightly darker, with oranges getting the largest boost and blues darkening the most, so earth tones look richer with only a slight warm cast in the midtones. Skin gains color too, deeper skin the most.

Best on: safari and wildlife photos, desert and savanna landscapes, and hazy golden light.

Warm Basque

Warm Basque brings out the color in a pale, stormy landscape. The river turns a deeper, richer teal, the white sand and stone pick up a hint of warmth and the heavy clouds keep their detail. It brightens the midtones more than any other LUT in this pack.

Stronger Warm Color

Reds and oranges gain about a third more saturation, yellows about a fifth and greens and aquas a little over a tenth, and all of them get slightly lighter. Reds lean toward orange. Blues barely change in saturation and lighten slightly.

A Warm Lift in the Midtones

A middle gray brightens to about 56 percent and the shadows pick up a faint orange cast, so pale areas feel sunlit rather than gray. Black and white stay put. Skin turns warmer and more colorful, deeper skin gaining about half again its color.

Best on: desert and dune landscapes, rivers and lakes, and cloudy mountain views.

Included – PHLEARN Mossy GreenOriginal

Mossy Green

Mossy Green warms an aerial forest scene and gives it richer color. The trees turn a fuller, warmer green, the meadow gets more vivid and the river shifts to a deeper teal, while the bare field stays a soft neutral. It carries the warmest cast in this pack.

Greens Nudged Toward Yellow

Greens gain about a sixth more saturation and lean slightly toward yellow, which warms foliage, and reds and oranges get about a quarter to a third more color. Aquas brighten a little and lean toward green, while blues lose a touch of color.

A Warm Cast Through the Midtones

Shadows and midtones pick up a noticeable orange cast while the tonal range stays close to the original, so the whole scene feels warmer without getting darker. Skin gains a lot of warmth and color, deeper skin the most in the pack.

Best on: aerial and drone shots, forests and meadows, and lakes and rivers.

Included – PHLEARN Golden BluesOriginal

Golden Blues

Golden Blues makes the blues in glacier ice richer and more cyan. The cracks and ridges show more depth, the white ice stays bright and the sky and water pick up a cleaner blue. It is the only LUT in this pack with a green tint in the grays.

Aquas, Greens and Yellows Gain

Aquas, greens and yellows gain about a fifth more saturation while keeping their brightness, which is what deepens the turquoise in the ice. Blues gain only a little and lean slightly toward aqua, and aquas lean slightly toward green. Oranges gain color and lean toward yellow.

A Teal Tint in the Shadows

Darker tones pick up a faint teal cast while black, middle gray and white stay close to the original, so the scene gets cooler without losing its brightness. Lighter skin gains some color.

Best on: glaciers and snow, icebergs and cold water, and bright scenes with lots of blue and white.

Included – PHLEARN Sierra TanOriginal

Sierra Tan

Sierra Tan adds contrast and richness to warm fur and wood. The lion’s mane turns a deeper golden tan, the dark edges of the fur get crisper and the weathered bark shows more texture. It adds the most contrast in this pack.

Brighter Highlights, Deeper Blacks

The brightest tones go all the way to white and the upper midtones lift, with 75 percent gray rising to 80, while the darkest shadows drop slightly, giving a clean, punchy contrast that suits textured subjects like fur and bark. A slight cool cast sits in the shadows and midtones.

Golden Yellows

Every color gains about an eighth to a fifth more saturation and gets slightly lighter, with blues and purples gaining the most, so tans and golds look richer. Lighter skin keeps its color and brightens, while deeper skin gains a little color.

Best on: wildlife portraits, animals with tan or golden fur, and wood and bark textures.

LUT Questions, Answered

What’s included in the Vibrant Nature LUTs?

The Vibrant Nature LUTs include 5 LUTs: Crisp Terranova, Warm Basque, Mossy Green, Sierra Tan and Golden Blues. Each LUT comes as .CUBE, .3DL, .CSP and .ICC files, so it works in Photoshop, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and most other editors.

What kind of photos and videos are the Vibrant Nature LUTs made for?

They’re made for nature photos and videos, from jade forests to cerulean seas. The LUTs target some of the most beautiful colors in nature, golden browns, forest greens and deep blues, adding brightness, vibrance and subtle color toning to help capture the grandeur of an outdoor scene.

Can I use the Vibrant Nature LUTs on video as well as photos?

Yes. The pack is built for photo and video, so your landscape stills and nature footage can share one look. Apply it in Photoshop or Lightroom Classic for photos, and in Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro X for video. The LUTs work with images shot on any camera.

Are LUTs included in my PHLEARN PRO subscription?

Which programs do the LUTs work in?

Photoshop, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Lightroom Classic and most other photo and video editors. Use the .CUBE file unless your software asks for .3DL, .CSP or .ICC.

How do I use a LUT in Photoshop?

Choose Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Lookup, open the 3DLUT File menu in the Properties panel, choose Load 3D LUT and pick a .CUBE file from the Photoshop Quick Install folder. Set the strength with the layer’s Opacity.

How do I install LUTs in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro?

The PDF install guide in your download has a page for each one, and every step for every program is on our How to Install LUTs page.

The LUT looks too strong. What do I do?

Turn it down: lower the layer Opacity in Photoshop, the Intensity slider in Premiere Pro or the Mix slider in Final Cut Pro. In DaVinci Resolve, reduce Key Output Gain for that node.

Should I correct my photo before adding a LUT?

Yes. Set exposure and white balance first, then add the LUT on top. A LUT grades color; it does not correct it.

My LUTs don’t show up in DaVinci Resolve.

Skipping Update Lists is the usual reason. Open Project Settings > Color Management, click Update Lists, then Save.
