Taking in the Artwork

At ﬁrst, we make a collection of the artwork that we wish to highlight. Recognizing the habits and patterns between different pieces of work.

Categorizing the pieces

Within a category, we analyse the following:

- How the use of color is regarding the higlights / midtones and shadows behave.
- How intense the brightness and contrast are.
- With colors are excluded from the color scheme.

Apply to photos in various situations

It’s time to convert every category into a LUT. At first, it is helpful to use an image that looks similar to the original artwork.

Once everything looks and feels the same, it’s time to run the LUT through a pool of images to analyse what happens in various situations.

The LUT will contain a set of rules on how to handle every single color on all levels of brightness or saturation. It’s important to apply the same philosophy to photo’s that might not look similar to the original artwork.

Quality assurance

Once the behavior of the LUT is in line with the ambience of the artwork, it’s time to do the final check. We run the LUT through a stresstest. This contians all color and brightness levels. We make sure the transitions between the levels is as smooth as possible.
