Look LUT baked into source
Failure signal
A look lut baked into source condition is reported or detected during color.
Likely cause
The controlling record, technical state or approved specification for color does not match the current asset or workflow.
Verification
Compare neutral chart values and camera originals to detect irreversible look processing.
Corrective action
Return to the unprocessed source or document the baked look as a creative constraint.
Prevention
Add this verification to the color gate, retain immutable evidence and assign one accountable owner.
