Photo / Video Presets

Through the last roughly 15 years of photography and videography I've been learning about colour theory and packing up some of the presets for Lightroom and colour grading for various editing softwares into a little bundle.

The following presets work for Adobe Lightroom (+ Mobile), Adobe Lightroom Classic, Darktable, Davinci Resolve, Affinity Photo, Adobe Premiere Pro and other programs that support .xmp or .cube files.

Delimitations

Not all aspects of Lightroom presets can be properly preserved for LUTs, which is a blessing and a curse. Effects like film grain, vignette and similar image wide effects that do not relate to the colour space and exposure can not be converted from photo presets to LUTs for video editing. They need to be added back in the respective editing software like Darktable, Davinci Resolve or Premiere Pro manually.

The download contains 3 different grain presets (fine, medium, heavy) that you can apply on top of the other Presets in Lightroom
