As you may know by now, with the Phone (3a) series, Nothing introduced Camera Presets. One of the features added with this capability is the option to use LUTs (Look-Up Tables) in the camera app. This can be done simply by importing a .cube file into the camera app. Once imported, the LUT becomes available under the Filter submenu, allowing you to see the colour grading live in the viewfinder and eliminating the need for post-processing.

You may ask, ‘How do I obtain such .cube files’?

Well, @RohitPakalapati has created a guide that covers everything you need to get started, including the most common methods for creating .cube files to import into the camera app. Meanwhile, @Rob ⚡️ came up with another creative approach—using ChatGPT, and the best part is, this can be done with the free plan!

Prompt examples with results

I’ll share 2 examples from the popular TV show Severance and the film franchise Mad Max. Once you’ve downloaded the .cube file generated by ChatGPT, you can import it into the camera app as a filter and create a preset from it.

Severance

Prompt used:

Make me a LUT based on severance colour palette and create .cube file

I encourage you to try it out for yourself and share the results with us—go have some fun! 🙂

    This is awesome to know, thanks mate, I am gonna use this for my Phone (3a) Clicks🙏🏻🙏🏻😍

    Daniel I actually tried making some on ChatGPT and got the same output as the Severance one you have. I even named mine ‘Avatar,’ lol. So yes, it’s definitely possible to get some weird .cube outputs from ChatGPT since, ultimately, it’s just math. But to get our desired results, it’s always best to build something ourselves.

      I use Le Chat Mistral (French) as it follows European GDPR rather than chatGPT, which doesn’t, but the concept holds.

      This is a great little hack Daniel! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing what other people create. Better get onto it myself too and report back 📸

      Using ChatGPT makes LUT creation much easier for a lot of people. I’ve been trying to develop an infrared photography style LUT, and I’ve tried everything. ChatGPT, Photoshop, even just searching online. but I’m having trouble due to the heavy color shifts.

      The first image is the original, and the second shows the effect I’m trying to reproduce (I created it with VSCO’s IR2 filter). I’m wondering if anyone could create a LUT that perfectly matches this look. 🙂

        Hari it’s lovely, I would like it as a preset tho, how can I do so?

            Very interesting! I’ve never made my own LUT, wouldn’t know where to get started, but this is a cool idea. Thanks for sharing

            Rahul it works really well with the greens! but messing with skin tones and yellow/orange of the sand. That’s where im struggling with it too

              RAZzz carl pie told that they need time to bring the same thing on order device as their camera setup…

                  Harry_275 Download the LUT, open the camera, go to filters, and import the LUT from your device storage—you’re all set!
