What limitations do you perceive for LUTs?

In any case, LUTs do have some advantages over macros. Among them:

1. You can get a preview of what the effect would be when you're applying a LUT adjustment.
2. You can use LUTs in other programs (Affinity Designer, even non-Affinity program) but macros are restricted to Affinity Photo.

hi walt

thanks for reply. limitations as outlined in my original query ie only adjustments no filters allowed and no adjustment of sl;iders after applying lut. as no longer use other apps except nik the inability to use macros does not concern me. happy affinitying

You're welcome.

For me, the lack of a preview would be a major disadvantage of using macros vs LUTs.
