N-Log 3D LUT Version 1.04

Changes from Version 1.03 to 1.04

• • Added cube-format 3D LUTs (identified by file names ending in “V02-00”) compatible with the Z 9’s N-Log curve. Color reproduction, shadows, and highlights have been revised to ease the process of editing footage using video editing software.
• • These Z 9 N-Log 3D LUTs (cube files with names ending in “V02-00”) help address:
  • – “tone jumps” and the like visible across what should otherwise be smooth tone transitions, and
  • – overly-saturated colors visible in shots of high-chroma light sources or of subjects lit by the same.

Note that these LUTs may sometimes produce results slightly brighter than those of earlier Z 9 N-Log 3D LUTs (cube files with names ending in “V01-00”). Thus, for example, when applied to footage shot at high exposures or that has been brightened during editing, or when used as replacement 3D LUTs in projects previously color-graded using earlier Z 9 N-Log 3D LUTs (cube files with names ending in “V01-00”), the Z 9 N-Log 3D LUTs added with the current release (cube files with names ending in “V02-00”) may result in highlights that are “washed out” (over-exposed).

The earlier Z 9 N-Log 3D LUTs are included in the current download and can still be used if desired.

Changes from Version 1.2.1 to 1.2.2

  • – The colors in JPEG files created from NEF/NRW (RAW) pictures shot using the AdobeRGB color space would sometimes differ from the originals.
  • – Certain TIFF files could sometimes not be opened.
  • – Cropping a picture, copying and pasting the result, and then cropping it a second time would result in abnormal crop boundaries displayed in a location different from the actual crop.
  • – Adjustments to pictures containing embedded GPS data would sometimes be lost when the pictures were saved or prevent the pictures being successfully exported.
