  2. Drop your CUBE files onto its window, or press ⌘O (Ctrl O on Windows) to choose them. Drop as many as you like.
  3. Type cube to pngand pick Convert to Hald CLUT. Hald CLUT PNG from a .cube or .3dl LUT.
  4. Press ⌘↵ (Ctrl ↵ on Windows) to save. The PNG files appear next to the originals, which stay exactly as they were.

Level: Hald level (2-11), image side = level^3, default 8 = 512 px.

What it needs

Nothing. This conversion is built into Asteria, so it works the moment the app is open, even offline.

How it was tested

A real CUBE file was converted on macOS on Apple silicon and Linux, and the PNG that came out was opened and checked with ImageMagick identify to make sure it is what it says it is.
