CUBE files, also known as 3D LUT (Look Up Table) files, are used to store color grading data in a compact and versatile format. These files contain a 3D array of color values that describe how to transform input colors into output colors. CUBE files are widely used in various industries, including film, television, advertising, and video production.

In the world of color grading, two file formats reign supreme for look management: (the industry standard for 3D LUTs) and XMP (the preset format used by Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom). If you are a photographer or videographer, you have likely faced a frustrating barrier: you found a stunning cinematic LUT in the .CUBE format, but you need to use it in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, which only reads .XMP files.

This is a favorite among colorists. It has a specific export module for DNG presets and XMP files .
