Examples

Correcting an image

# Builtin palette
lutgen apply -p catppuccin-mocha docs/example-image.jpg -o mocha_version.jpg

# Custom colors
lutgen apply docs/example-image.jpg -- "#ABCDEF" ffffff 000000

# Custom palette file with whitespace separated hex colors (linux example shown)
echo "fff 555 000 abcdef deadbe" > ~/.config/lutgen/my-palette-name
lutgen apply docs/example-image.jpg -p my-palette-name

# Multiple images
lutgen apply image1.png image2.png *.jpg -p catppuccin-mocha

# Using an external LUT
lutgen apply --hald-clut mocha_lut.png docs/example-image.jpg

Generating a standalone LUT for external or manual usage

# Builtin palette
lutgen generate -p catppuccin-mocha -o mocha_lut.png

# Custom colors
lutgen generate -o custom.png -- "#ABCDEF" ffffff 000000

# Custom palette file with whitespace separated hex colors (linux example shown)
echo "fff 555 000 abcdef deadbe" > ~/.config/lutgen/my-palette-name
lutgen generate -p my-palette-name

Preview palletes

# Preview all palettes
lutgen palette all

# Copy a palette to the custom palette dir for modifying and overriding
lutgen palette carburetor > ~/.config/lutgen/carburetor

# Finding a palette name with grep
