Wild Pastel – Filmic Nature LUT
The Wild Pastel LUT transforms your digital images into a timeless film-inspired look. Designed to soften harsh contrasts and bring subtle warmth, it converts clean digital shots into atmospheric visuals with a vintage, slightly desaturated pastel vibe. Perfect for nature, outdoor, and lifestyle photography, this LUT emphasizes calm tones and a nostalgic cinematic mood.The look gently mutes greens, adds warmth to shadows, and tints highlights with a soft brownish glow while keeping sky blues and floral purples elegantly restrained. The result is a filmic rendering that feels organic, dreamy, and emotionally engaging.The LUT was extracted by reverse-engineering scans of old Lomo photographs. Because of their reduced color spectra, applying those limited color ranges to today's photos would almost always result in some amount of posterization. For some people, that's a no-go, for other, it's a desired, sought-after effect.This is why the pack includes two versions: SOFT – a lighter touch, perfect for adding atmosphere without overpowering detail. HARD – a stronger transformation, embracing posterization and bold shifts for an authentic, raw film and print vibe. Intended Uses Nature Photography: Turning digital landscapes into soft, timeless scenes. Outdoor Portraits: Bringing subtle warmth and nostalgic depth to skin tones. Travel & Lifestyle Shoots: Adding cinematic storytelling to everyday moments. Filmmaking: A natural choice for short films, documentaries, or YouTube creators aiming for a muted, vintage-inspired mood. Social Media Content: Perfect for Instagram feeds, reels, and posts that need a consistent soft-film aesthetic. Check out some samples below:

@nlupo Точно! И тъкмо затова, трябва да продължаваме да го задаваме.

@samhenrigold throw them in a RAG, and “talk” to them. Would be fun digging up even more unimaginable dirt.

@HumanServitor Like, you can build a decent classifier that distinguishes left-wing from right-wing media, and fit it within 10MB. And that's perfectly justified. For the majority of use cases, the corpus of words that characterize a certain class isn't that big.

Some of the good classifiers we’ve trained at our company will probably run on a Pi zero, with plenty of resources left for other stuff.
