How to resolve the startup error Failed to create color LUT
Issue
The error message "Failed to create color LUT" appears on startup resulting in colors or environments or anything that relies on the LUT (Color Lookup Table) to be edited.
Failed to create color LUT
Environment Details
- KeyShot |
Cause
- With few exception it usually appears when starting KeyShot e.g. shortly after booting the system. It triggers when KeyShot fails to load the System Color Profile in time.
Resolution
Restarting KeyShot should get rid of the error message.
If restarting does not help, please open your Colour Management on your system. KeyShot will try to use the default profile. If it is corrupted or has restricted permissions KeyShot might not be able to generate the Color Lookup Table.
Go to Settings > System > Display > Color profile > Color management.
- If the list is empty, please add a profile, a basic sRGB profile is a good starting point
- If it already has an default profile, please try changing it to a different on or adding a new one and making it the new default.
Change your Windows Color Profile
On a Mac:
-
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
-
Click the pop-up menu next to “Color profile” on the right, then choose the profile you want to use.
