Goldchicco,

This is not the first table that I have had this problem with, but setting the LUT via magna-save buttons does not seem to save and remember my choice.  I make the change, close back to the editor and immediately save the file.  When I close VPX and re-open the table again, the LUT setting I made has revert back to the darkest setting.  Any ideas?  The other table this always happens on is VPW Mod of Hook.... But it's a much better version than what I was using.

The LUT code will not "remember" your choice because it will always starts from LUT5 - this is what is setup to.

To change it to a LUT you prefer, follow this instruction and take a look at the picture:

Open the  editor, select Options first then Backglass and change the LUT from the dropping menu on the right to the one you like and Save the table. If you will not Save the next time you'll play it will be back on LUT5.

Excellent - Will give this a try and hopefully all will be good.

In my tables I use to add a "save" after you choose a setting you like, and then at the start of the table I used a "Load LUT" so you get your preferred settings back It is easy to add to the script

I second this
I used JP's setup to change and save LUT and adapted it to save other settings as well, like table sound volume and stuff
