PRESET RECOMMENDATIONS IN 2023 | LR | CO | PS

Mary Costa for the ones who love bright and colorful with out muddied shadows.

 

i also like this i have it and all the KINDRED COLLECTION the ones that im missing is the SUMMER & WINTER

 

If you just chat and don't post download links I would suggest, that you put this thread in the 'Lounge' Category.

 

Do you have the new versions?

 

Regarding film emulations:

• If you're looking for the most accurate colors with a lot of flexibility, I'd suggest https://www.cobalt-image.com/film-emulations/
• If you're looking for a more realistic film emulation "feel", I'd suggest https://www.dehancer.com/store/photo/pslr because this plugin does things you simply can't do in Lightroom or Photoshop.
• If you're too lazy to learn the process to get an accurate film emulation, I'd suggest https://theclassicpresets.com/products/the-classic-film-presets-2021/

 

I like pastel type of tones for refined II, I use it for my commercial work.

 

Ooooh Refined II is also one of my favorites.
You got any recommendations for other pastel presets? I love the soft pastel-y looking stuff

 

I would like all of the CineGrain LUTs for my works.

 

I agree with those. I haven't used those new Cobalt presets but they look so good. Would love to see them posted up here.
I still prefer Exposure to the Dehancer plugin though.

 

what are you missing brother

 

The Classic Film Presets 2021 is gorgeous. Of late though, I've started to finish my B&W or Pastel conversions in Luminar 4.3. Some of the Presets on there go a long way further than the traditional xmp/dng types can do.

And if particular about B&W Silverefex pro or DxO Film is my comfort zone.

 

Anybody still using old VSCO here?

 

+1 for Refined I, II, III. Their Ektar presets are also great.
