One Free “Preview Tone” LUT — New Every Week

Experience the MARU STUDIO aesthetic, free of charge.

Every week, we release one free Preview Tone LUT designed to help you instantly visualize color direction, mood, and contrast before committing to a final grade.

This is an invitation to explore the tonal philosophy behind MARU STUDIO’s premium packs — allowing both beginners and professionals to test our color design without the commitment of a full purchase.

This is not a finished look.
It is a focused tool for previewing, testing, and early-stage decision making.

Think of it as a color sketch, not the final painting.

If this tool helps speed up your workflow,
a small tip (about the price of a coffee ☕️) is always appreciated and supports continued development.

⚠️ Technical Disclaimer & Pro Advice

This LUT is a 33-point Preview Tone.

While effective for visualization and decision-making, it is not intended for professional final delivery and does not provide:

• Ultra-smooth tonal transitions
• High-precision color reproduction
• Advanced highlight roll-off
• Long-form skin tone stability
• Scene-to-scene grading consistency

For commercial work, client delivery, or mission-critical projects,
we strongly recommend our paid packs, built with 65pt precision and production-grade color design.

MARU STUDIO is not responsible for image artifacts, quality assessments, or client evaluations resulting from the use of this free Preview Tone LUT as a final deliverable.

Why Free?

We believe cinematic tools should be accessible.

These free Preview Tone LUTs exist to help creators
explore color more freely, make faster creative decisions,
and experience the MARU STUDIO color system with zero risk.
