Whilst I have generally avoided developing Look-up Tables (LUTs) due to the the inherent lack of precision, there are scenarios where a LUT may be required, whether for monitoring purposes or in Video Editing applications such as Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro which have lower precision requirements.
