Mastering Apple Log: The Essential LUT & Color Grading Guide

A Practical, No-Fluff Guide for iPhone Filmmakers

If you've downloaded the Apple Log LUT pack (awesome choice), you’ve probably realized: applying a LUT is just the beginning.
This guide helps you figure out what to do next.

What It’s About:

This eBook is a hands-on guide to getting the best results from your Apple Log footage, especially if you're shooting with iPhones and apps like Filmic Pro or Blackmagic Camera.

It breaks down 10 core techniques used by professional colorists, explained in a clear, approachable way, giving you the tools to shape your footage with purpose.

You'll Learn How To:

• Fix that flat, low-contrast look in Apple Log
• Get clean, natural colors before adding style
• Use LUTs more intentionally (or even rebuild them)
• Protect skin tones while still grading creatively
• Shape light with Power Windows for extra depth
• Avoid the most common log grading mistakes

Why It's Helpful:

You don’t need to be a color grading expert. This guide is for filmmakers who want their videos to look polished without spending hours tweaking sliders or getting lost in techy YouTube holes.

It’s like having a colorist friend walk you through what really matters - step-by-step, with examples that make sense.

Designed to Pair with the LUT Pack

The free LUTs you downloaded were built with this workflow in mind. The guide shows you how to get the most out of them (and when not to rely on them at all).

No hype, just help.

If you’ve ever opened your footage and thought “Why does this look... like that?”, this guide is for you.
