LUT files are fantastic presets that can be used in many different photo-editing applications. They are easy to use in Photoshop, but require you to manually add any third-party LUT files you have downloaded to your computer. In this short tutorial I show you how to add and import LUT files to use them over and over again inside of Photoshop CC.
