    I choose not to use or buy Lightroom / Photoshop presets because I believe in developing my own unique editing style and enhancing my photography skills through manual adjustments. While presets can save time and provide consistency, they can also limit creativity and result in generic-looking images that lack personal touch. I prefer to experiment with different settings, tools, and techniques to create one-of-a-kind photos that truly showcase my artistic vision. By avoiding presets, I challenge myself to continuously improve and grow as a photographer, rather than relying on pre-made edits to enhance my work.

    my piece of cake

    Some presets are fantastic - Silverchrome : Geoff Ascough and Seims filmic presets, both I enjoy using.

    I do agree there's alot of shite but for me personally I see no harm in using them if that's the style your trying to achieve.

    It certainly takes nothing away from you as a photographer, afterall, you took the shots.

    I don't have time to take a look at all those presets, consider the value they may bring to my creative endeavors. There are so much crap.
