Amplify Color Overview
By using LUT’s (Lookup Up Tables), any color profile created can be adjusted and even loaded at run-time allowing users to seamlessly blend between various looks. Users can also use Color Volumes, Dynamic and Depth masking to extend their color based effects.
LUT’s combine and retain all external color alterations; among other effects, Color Balance, Curves, Exposure, Contrast, Saturation and Hue adjustments will all apply to your in-game assets. Users can also take advantage of commercially available LUT packs and apply them directly to Unity Exported Reference Images using the File Mode or Photoshop connection.
There are many types of LUT file formats but Amplify Color will only be able to read compatible Look up Tables in bitmap format(1024x32), as do similar effects in Unity; below is an example of a LUT image.
What can a LUT do for RAW media? Check out the video below by the great team at Vision Color to find out and be sure to try out their LUT Packs.

Amplify Color Volumes empowers your artists by allowing them to use volumes to efficiently define color correction, effects & events by area. Volumes automatically blend between LUT’s, support Base and Volume LUT mixing and Third-party Effects Volume Blending whilst maintaining volume detection accuracy.
Tonemmaping allows for quick and lightweight adjustments without the need to rely on additional camera components or 3rd-party effects, it also provides a HDR Dithering solution allowing for even more accurate results.
Depth Masking allows you to blend different LUT’s based on depth information by simply adjusting a curve as you would with similar Unity components. Create interesting and dynamic scene moods or simply isolate certain assets based on their depth value such as skyboxes or backgrounds models.
Dynamic Masking provides a quick and easy way to isolate assets by taking advantage of the built-in Unity Culling Mask options
Masking assets is extremely quick to setup and it also works great with 2D Games, be sure to check the Project Samples in the Manual Page; section 6 – Dynamic & Depth Masks.
