Unlike standard 33x33x33 LUTs, Phantom LUTs are , offering more color values per channel for higher accuracy and smoother gradients.

Professional colorists and DITs typically use two main categories of LUTs for Phantom workflows: phantom luts

: These are designed for accuracy. They convert the specific color science of the Phantom sensor (often called Phantom Cine or Log2) into a standard color space like Rec.709 without adding stylistic flair. Unlike standard 33x33x33 LUTs, Phantom LUTs are ,
