Favorite Lightroom preset?


Recommended Posts

<p>I am looking for some new preset for Lightroom and I would like more of the film looks. I have a lot of the specialty presets, but I am lack the simple film (Kodak, Canon, Fuji, Nikon) presets. Where might I find these? Does anyone have a good set that is worth spending the money?</p>

<p>The VSCO is a popular one and comes with film emulation presets. Greater Than Gatsby is another. There aren't Canon/Fuji/Nikon presets, only their camera calibration profiles. But you can easily make a preset from those profiles however they can only be applied to raw files. Instructions to do this are easily found in Youtube. Nik, as Jeff mentioned, is a great one but it is a plugin </p>

<p>AFAIK, all are names that subjectively imply a film look (none that I've ever seen produce colorimetrically the same results). IOW, I can make a preset that up's <em>Vibrance</em> and contrast and call it <em>Velvia</em>. IF you believe that looks like Velvia, I guess I could sell it to you. Or you could roll your own and name it whatever you wish. So no, IMHO, it's not worth the money; make your own based on what you feel looks like a film type. Or to do this more scientifically, shoot a lot of scenes under lots of differing illumination with actual film stocks, along with your raw and work towards a '<em>match</em>'.</p>

<p>Hello,<br /> There are a lot of good presets online. You just have to look for the best collections.<br /> I don't know if I can post links here but if permitted, I can give good examples that will help you get started with Lightroom presets.<br>

One of the most useful preset collection I've recently use is from Sleeklens: <a href="/bboard/One%20of%20the%20most%20useful%20preset%20collection%20I've%20recently%20use%20is%20from%20Sleeklens:%20https:/sleeklens.com/product/the-starter-pack-lightroom-presets/%20%20%20%20Hope%20it%20help%20you%20get%20started%20with%20Lightroom.">https://sleeklens.com/product/the-starter-pack-lightroom-presets/</a><br>
