Failed to import LUT (.cube) - file greyed out

Hi Walt. This is the only program using LUTs (as far as I know!). I can create and export LUTs, but importing them is a problem: it finds the LUT but the import function fails to add it to the list of LUTs (I have only the default category). That’s it, nothing else running. 

Can you give us a screenshot from the Files app showing the folder structure you have, and the contents of the folder you're trying to import the LUT fie from?

What release of Affinity Photo are you using, and what release of iPadOS?

I’m using 2.6.2 on the iPad and the only item I have in the files structure is single folder (‘LUTs’) within which I have placed a single LUT. This file was actually created in and exported from AP on the iPad.

So that LUTs folder is at the root level on some drive, not contained within another folder?

Or do you have it in a folder located "On my iPad", within the automatically-created folder named "Affinity Photo"? (Also possibly relevant, if you have more than one of those "Affinity Photo" folders, have you tried it in each of them? I have two such folders, and it works in one but not the other. One is probably from V1 and the other from V2.)

It’s on a removable drive at root level. I also tried it in the affinity photo folder created on the iPad. It’s quite happy exporting the LUT to ei5her of them, and it can ‘see’ them when located in either, but resolutely doesn’t import either of them.

Thanks. If it doesn't work when your LUTs folder is located inside the automatically-created Affinity Photo folder then I'm not sure what's happening. You're the only user I've seen reporting that aspect of the problem, @Peteg.

As I don’t (yet) have any other files, assets, etc for aff.photo on my iPad, I thought I would try a complete reinstall of the program. I then put my LUT file in the folder created by ap. (as before). This time it worked! Problem solved - but many thanks for your efforts, much appreciated!

You're welcome. Glad it worked
