QUICK LUTS FOR OBS IN PHOTOSHOP

The color correction filter in OBS leaves much to be desired. There are no curves, no RGB specific settings . . . just the basics you'd have had on your TV in 1978.

So you may find yourself wanting to use the Apply LUT filter to gain a little more control over the image. Here are some steps to get you started!

  1. add a video source to your scene

  2. take a screenshot of it! Image before the filter

  3. bring that screenshot in to Photoshop and save as a .psd doc

  4. select Layer => New Background From Layer

  5. apply a load of filters (here for instance, I'll get rid of the excess yellow and green with a color balance, up the contrast with a curves adjustment, and get a sort of diffuse glow that reduces skin imperfections by adding a black and white set to luminosity as its blend mode) image after the filters

  6. select File => Export => Color Lookup Tables... and save it in the CUBE format somewhere you'll remember

  7. over in OBS, right-click on your source, select Filters, then hit the plus sign, then select Apply LUT and select your file. You should get something CLOSE to a match to your .psd screen shot after LUT filter applied
