What is LUT file?
The file with the extension LUT is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. XnView Lut Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is XnView. This was created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet.
How to open LUT file?
An often recurring problem with XnView Lut Format is that LUT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LUT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LUT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XnView into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support LUT files.
Programs to open LUT file
Remember to download programs supporting LUT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with LUT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LUT file still does not use the XnView program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LUT file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that XnView Lut Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LUT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to LUT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LUT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LUT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LUT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LUT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LUT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LUT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LUT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LUT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
