About CUBE
IRIDAS made the .cube LUT, and Adobe, which bought IRIDAS, wrote down its spec in 2013. It's the color look nearly every editor takes, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Photoshop and OBS among them, and how a camera's log footage is turned into normal color.
A CUBE is plain text: a title, the size of its table, often 33 or 65 points a side, the range it takes, then a line of red, green and blue for every point of the cube, or of a curve for each channel. A color between points is blended from the points around it.
Filepeek shows a chart of skin, sky, foliage, grays and every hue through the LUT, the chart as it was a page away. Drop a photo with it, and the photo shows through the LUT too, to save as PNG or JPEG.

Questions
How do I preview a LUT on my own photo?
Drop the photo and the CUBE together. The photo shows through the LUT, and the photo as it was is the next page.
Why does my LUT look far too strong?
Many LUTs are made for a camera's log footage, which looks flat and gray. On a normal photo, such a LUT pushes contrast and color much too far. Its pack says which camera and log it's for.
What is the difference between a 1D and a 3D LUT?
A 1D LUT is a curve for each channel, changing brightness and contrast. A 3D LUT turns every color into another, so it can shift one hue and leave the rest. CUBE files hold either, or both.
