The modern desert-epic grade is not "orange filter": it is a near-monochromatic sand palette, saturation kept low but carried by film density so color reads heavy rather than grey, milky highlights that never clip, and skin that stays warm while the world desaturates around it. These five looks are built as one system around exactly that.
Five environments, one authorial voice: DEEP DESERT for daylight, SPICE STORM for golden dust and backlight, MOONLESS for night, BLACK SUN for the infrared near-monochrome, SLATE TIDE for cold overcast and water. Works with any footage type — pick Standard, Apple Log, DJI D-Log or D-Log M, Sony S-Log3, Panasonic V-Log, Canon C-Log3, Nikon N-Log, Fujifilm F-Log2, GoPro GP-Log or HLG before downloading and the conversion is baked in.
Every LUT downloads at the strength you choose — set 50, 70 or 100% in the LUT Library preview and it's baked into the .cube. That means the look works at your chosen strength even in camera apps and editors with no LUT-intensity control, and pulling it back never washes out the log conversion the way an editor's mix slider does.
The strength you pick is baked into the .cube you download.
Every look renders with the same engine as the .cube download. Free looks download instantly — PRO and STUDIO looks unlock with the pack or a plan.
The hero grade — parchment monochrome daylight. Everything drawn onto one ochre axis, saturation low but dense, highlights that blow out to cream instead of white. Skin stays warm while the world goes to sand.
The trailer moment — golden-amber atmosphere at full strength. Heavy warm contamination, storm-light contrast, sun that blooms through dust. For golden hour, haze and backlit shots.
The night workhorse — steel-blue shadows and pale moonlit highlights over near-black ambience, with skin held warm through a narrow protect. Night exteriors, caves and low-light interiors.
The infrared look — near-monochrome under a bleached sky. Saturation stripped to a trace, silvery luminous skin, bloomed highlights and deep controlled blacks. Instantly recognisable, nothing else ships it.
The cold counterweight — muted ocean grey-blue, overcast softness, greens pulled out to slate. Makes the pack work on rain, coastlines and moody days, not just sand.
Every preview has an intensity slider (0–100%). Whatever you set is rendered into the .cube itself — the file is regenerated at that strength, named accordingly (e.g. _70pct.cube), and looks identical in your editor to what you saw in the preview.
Why bake it in instead of using your editor's LUT-mix slider? Two reasons. Many tools have no per-LUT strength control at all — DaVinci Resolve hides it behind node key gain, and camera apps that load monitoring LUTs have none. And on log footage an editor's mix slider blends back toward the flat, grey log image, washing out the picture; our blend keeps the full log-to-Rec.709 conversion and fades only the creative grade on top of it.
