What is it?

openlut is a practical color management library/tool that aims to simplify and unify all the various methods of making accurate color transformations.

Supported transforms include:

• 1D and 3D LUTs
• Color Matrices
• Gamma Function
• CDL Transform

It's built on my own color pipeline needs - I needed a simple but close-to-the-math solutions that dealt not with images, but with float arrays.

As a tool, its main feature is that it's exceptionally easy to import, transform, and then save not only images, but also transforms.

Documentation

Docs can be found at https://sofusrose.com/openlut. They're a work in progress for now (ColMap is 100% documented).

Installation

0. Check Versions: Ensure you have Python 3.5+ installed.

1. Get System Dependencies - needing to do this is an unfortunate side effect of PyPi.

   • On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python3-pip gcc libmagickwand-dev
   • On Mac: brew install python3 gcc imagemagick

2. Ensure Core Python Packages are Up To Date: Simply run pip3 install --user -U pip setuptools wheel to do so.

3. Install OpenLUT: Run pip3 install --user openlut.

   • This may take awhile, as it must compile the C++ Extension.

Development

1. Clone the Repository: This is easy enough to do - just run git clone https://www.github.com/so-rose/openlut.

2. Compile Openlut: Again, very easy - just run ./build <TARGET>, where <TARGET> is some build target as listed in ./build -l.

Troubleshooting

Pip doesn't work: If Python is installed, but pip won't run, try running curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3

Doesn't work on Windows: I'm unsure of how pip compiles C Extensions on Windows, and have little willpower to investigate. If you need Windows support, PM me and I'll see what I can do about it.

Something's broken...: There may be several bugs. If you start an Issue, then I can investigate.
