What LUT formats and sizes can Color.io create?

Color.io can generate 3D LUTs for most color grading and video editing applications like Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro and many others. You can also generate color grading LUTs for Unity and Unreal Engine as well as Cinema4D RedShift and other 3D tools. It is also possible to export LUTs to Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo and other image editing applications. You can find all supported 3D LUT formats directly in the export panel of the app.
Does Color.io support HDR workflows?

Yes! Color.io is ACES color managed so every look you create with the app is automatically compatible with a large number of input and output devices, including HDR. Outputs in ACES are called ODTs and for HDR you'll want to select REC2020 ST2084 from the dropdown with the little display icon. And that's all there's to it.
What cameras are supported?

Virtually all cameras. Color.io has even extended ACES with proprietary IDTs to support cameras and workflows that are not directly supported by the official ACES version. At the time of writing, Color.io supports the following cameras and input color spaces: - sRGB - Rec709 - ProPhotoRGB - Adobe RGB - Apple ProRes Log - Apple ProRes HDR - VisionLog - Arri Log-C v3 - Arri Log-C v4 - Arri REVEAL Rec709 - Arri REVEAL Rec2020 - BMDFilm Wide Gamut Gen. 5 - DaVinci Wide Gamut / Intermediate - BolexLog WideGamutRGB - CanonLog 1/2/3 BT2020 (Daylight & Tungsten) - CanonLog 1/2/3 CinemaGamut (Daylight & Tungsten) - DJI D-LOG D-Gamut - Fuji F-Log F-Gamut - Fuji F-Log 2 F-Gamut - Leica L-Log - GoPro Protune Flat - Kinefinity Kinelog 3 - Nikon N-Log BT2020 - Sony S-Log / S-Gamut - Sony S-Log 2 / S-Gamut (Daylight & Tungsten) - Sony S-Log 3 / S-Gamut3 & S-Gamut3.cine - Sony Venice S-Log 3 / S-Gamut3 & S-Gamut3.cine - Panasonic V-Log / V-Gamut - RED RedLogFilm DragonColor 1 & 2 - RED RedLogFilm RedColor 1 - 4 - RED LOG3G10 WideGamutRGB - Z-Cam Z-LOG 2 - ACES, ACEScct, ACEScg - ADX10 and ADX16 for the film folks This means you can create LUTs not only for all of these specific cameras, but also for every camera that outputs sRGB, Rec709, ProPhoto or Adobe RGB. Oh and we automatically debayer RAW image data from over 600 cameras not listed here into VisionLog, which you will then be able to process using Color.io. What a time to be alive!
