In any case, LUTs do have some advantages over macros. Among them: You can get a preview of what the effect would be when you're applying a LUT adjustment. You can use LUTs in other programs (Affinity Designer, even non-Affinity program) but macros are restricted to Affinity Photo.

walt.farrell Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You're welcome. For me, the lack of a preview would be a major disadvantage of using macros vs LUTs.
