Better way to preview LUTS PLEASE!!!

When I opened the brand new Premiere 2024 update I was hoping and praying that Adobe had redesigned the creative panel in Lumetri so that LUTS could be compared side by side. Unfortunately, comparing LUTS is still a matter of tediously scrolling down the list and applying them one by one. Providing a grid preview of multiple LUTS along with the ability to group luts in folders would make color grading SO much faster and more user friendly. Please please please Adobe, make this happen!

This could be my inexperience and I could be missing something, so I'm more than happy to be enlightened on a simpler, easier way.

In the Lumertri colour panel, specifically the creative section, is the only way to view what a LUT will look like on some footage is to cycle through using the arrows? I might have too many installed, but it seems incredibly cumbersome and awkward to have to cycle through them in order, while using an incredibly small viewer window that also doesn't accurately display what the LUT will look like. It's also incredibly frustrating when I've picked a LUT and applied it and then want to go back and try another, I have to cycle back through from the top of the list.

As I said I'd love to know if there's any easier way to do this, but if there isn't please can you update this section of the Lumetri colour panel so that we can view multiple creative or even technical LUTs at the same time and have the ability to try any LUT we choose rather than cycling through from the top of the list. A deeper and more intuitive section here will I'm sure not only help me but countless other as I can't be the only person to have faced and questioned this.

Thanks.

Yup, it's the side to side arrows in the Preview window.

What's even worse, is it doesn't show the previews for your installed LUTs if you put them in the proper places, and NOT in the folder with the included ones ... which is an absolute no-no.

And yes, many of us have complained about that for years ...

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

One of my biggest gripes in premiere is how Lumetri presents LUTS in the creative panel. In other grading software I have worked with, LUTS are 1) organized in collections 2) presented in a grid that previews a bunch of options at a glance. Premiere's alphabetical layout and one at a time scrolling is a major creativity and time suck. I'd love to see the ability to group LUTS, and a pop-out window that allows previewing of all LUTS side by side.
