DJI DLog-M to Rec.709 Conversion LUT


In order to properly color grade Log footage, a conversion LUT must be used to convert the Log gamma to the Rec.709 color space. While conversion LUTs from camera manufacturers can be the most technically accurate, they don’t always yield the most pleasing or natural results to the eye. Plus, when using with other creative LUTs, it can be beneficial to use a conversion LUT which creates a natural contrast curve with enough room for a creative tone curve and other adjustments.

This free LUT is designed to convert DJI Mavic 2 Pro footage shot in DLog-M to Rec.709 for color grading. It was designed to balance technical accuracy and pleasing results.

For best results, apply this conversion LUT before any creative LUTs. The image below shows an example of the recommended node tree and image processing pipeline.

The best part about this LUT? It’s designed it to leave enough room in the contrast and saturation to apply a creative LUT for a quick and easy color grade with maximum flexibility. Check out the Spectra LUT Pack for more information.
