A proposed checklist for reference-based color matching, not a completed benchmark. LUT Generator offers free local matching, adjustments and PNG previews; custom .cube export uses credits. Optional AI guidance uses a reduced preview. Normalize sources, inspect varied frames and document versions before reusing a creative look. A creative LUT does not replace technical camera conversion or shot-specific corrections.
