Currently you can't really tell what each LUT is unless you right click it and see "redefine <name>" or "remove <name>". This is poor UX. It would be good to be able to see them, and to also have a "favorites" folder.

I'm using a mac, too.

Notice the screenshot shows a little bit of text, but it's hard to sort through if there are a bunch of them with the same prefix. For example, let's say I have a bunch of Kodak or FujiFilm emulations for "CNG" (Color Negative). I see Kodak_... for 10 entries and so on. I think there's a better way to do this.

Ah, I never use the film strip option, I always select my LUT's from within the edit menu option....

Thanks for sharing this with me, Shelton. I realize that the LUT selector is on the right-hand menu. I like the preset thumbnails on the bottom of the page since they show a clear preview of what is available, and can be categorized.

I think this can be a suitable alternative for now (especially when I know which LUT I want to use), but I'd definitely like to see Photomator's dev team improve the usability of this feature.

Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but you can create folder(s) of fav LUTs for quicker access from the side menu, but I certainly see your point about file names/space in the film strip.

I would raise a feedback request if you haven't done so, then it will get logged to look at

Not at all! This is a terrific way of thinking about this, especially when I know the type of feel I'm going for. I had no idea that the LUTs would adopt folder hierarchy from the Custom LUTs directory.

I thought that the grouping that would be created in the filmstrip would naturally resolve to the menu options, but alas, it seems like that isn't the case.

Yes, I reached out to the support emails, but it seems like it isn't something that's in the books for the time being. I'm looking forward to device-synced LUTs.

I'll try your approach. I'm digging the fact that the previews show up on mouseover!

Thanks, Shelton!
