[loss of contrast when lusing LUTs]

here are  files i did without any exposure adjustment,the LUT, the two projects.

while i know how to infer a LUT, i think here we are not in "infer" territory. i do not need to reverse engineer an adjustment, i know exactly what has been done to the picture and i suppose i am saving it with the lut. or am i?

just out of curiosity i downloaded the latest beta and the behaviour is the same. maybe just a little better..

yes, gladly.

these two images are the same raw file.

i did open and develop it (only adjustment in developing was sharpness). then :

1) added a black and white adjustment

2) added an exposure compensation

3) added a curve.

4) exported the first JPG

5) exported the LUT.

i then Closed the image, reopened the raw and re-developed it (identically)

1) loaded the lut saved in point 5 above, blend mode normal

2 ) exported the jpeg. 

look at the blacks: i cannot understand for my life why a cube generated by the same program could do this. 

i had the same issue with imported LUTs, but i thought that maybe it was because those were not "native"  (even though it made no sense, a .cube is a .cube. ), but like this?  I am really scratching my head...

hello,everyone!

New user, here, and i have a question regarding luts (pardon me if it has already been answered. i did search for it but i had no luck) : when i finish to adjust a photo of a series i'd like to export a LUT that i can apply to the other pictures of the same set.

However,when i go to apply that LUT to the other pictures,i loose lot of contrast. does this happen to you as well? i am using the latest version on an m1 apple.
