What Salt looks like
Salt lifts the blacks, brightens the image and fades the colors, especially the blues and greens, for a breezy, sun-faded mood.
It's made for beach days, road trips and summer memories, and works best on bright photos.

Use Salt on video and in Lightroom
You can take this look into other apps. Open it, then on the Save tab download it as a LUT (.cube) for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut, with versions for log footage, or as a Lightroom profile with an Amount slider. Both carry the look's color; add grain and glow in the other app.
