Photomator • How to apply Photo Filter LUTs to Black & White images?

$

When I worked in the analog era with Black and White film I sometimes used colored filters, e.g. a red filter to darken the blue of the sky.

The Photomator distribution comes with a number of Photo Filter LUTs installed which (judging by their name) seem to correspond to the filters of the analog era (see screenshot).

Now, when I convert a color image to Black & White (using the Black & White toggle switch and sliders) and then apply one of these Photo Filter LUTs the entire B&W image turns to the color of the filter.

Apparently the LUT is applied after the B&W conversion in the processing pipeline.
Although the effect may be interesting from an artistic point of view it is not what I would expect.

The only way I have found to "simulate" analog filters is to use the Selective Color sliders, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of the Photo Filter LUTs?

So my question is: how can I apply a LUT filter before the image is converted to B&W?
