PictureFX Perfect Sunset

🎨 What is the PictureFX Perfect Sunset LUT?

The Perfect Sunset LUT is a cinematic, color-rich LUT inspired by the glow of a tropical sunset. Built on the foundation of the PFX Provia look and enhanced through color mapping from a striking West Java sunset photo by Nuno Obey, this LUT adds warmth, depth, and atmosphere to your shots.

Developed using RawTherapee and Darktable, the final look was exported as a high-quality 64x64x64 3D .cube LUT—fully compatible with most photo and video editors. It’s perfect for landscape, travel, and golden hour scenes, or anytime you want to bring a warm, dramatic sunset vibe to your image.

Tips for best results:

• Apply the LUT to well-balanced images with natural lighting.

• Try different blend modes like Hard Light or Soft Light and adjust the opacity (e.g., 70–100%) to fine-tune the effect.

• In RawTherapee or Darktable, use the LUT module or Color LUT filter to load the file.

• For video, layer it over clips shot in flat/log profiles for maximum flexibility.

This LUT adds a warm glow and enhances the sunset tones, but you remain in control—tone it down or go full cinematic!
