Lightroom Presets

The instructions are for the latest versions of Adobe Lightroom Classic, released since mid-2018 and using the XMP preset format. You need to have version 7.3 or later. 

  • Open Lightroom Classic and go to the Develop module. You will see the modules listed
    at the top, right. You will be in the Library module when the program is first opened.
  • On the left you will see a section called Presets. You will see that there are already
    some basic presets listed. These come bundled with Lightroom.
  • Click on the + icon at the top right of the section. Select Import Presets from the dropdown menu.
  • Navigate to the folder ‘XYZ Presets’ , select the presets and click Import. → Your presets will now be listed in the Presets section

Android

1. Open the Lightroom App in your Android device.
2. Go to the Edit settings by choosing any photo.
3. Click on Presets.
4. Click on the vertical ellipsis to open the preset settings.
5. Click on Import Presets.
6. Choose your preset file. The files should be a compressed ZIP file package or individual XMP
files.

IPHONE

1.Click on the + icon at the top right of the section.
2.Select Import Presets from the dropdown menu.
3. Navigate to the preset folder (. XMP)’
, select the presets ZIP file(s) and click Import.

  • Open your image in Photoshop. Click on Filter and choose Camera Raw Filter …
  • Click on the right side of Basic menu . Then, choose Load Settings…
  • Choose .xmp file(Preset) from downloaded(Wedding Presets) folder. Then click on
    Load button
  • To apply effect, click on OK button

Presets are pre-defined sets of adjustments stored to a file so that Lightroom users may remember those settings and modifications with a single click.

Plugins, on the other hand, frequently enhance or change programme functionality. In the case of Lightroom, a plugin may offer a sharing service that isn’t available in the main application, or it may add a functionality to one of the modules. Plugins essentially extend Lightroom’s feature set. They are not interchangeable with presets.

Don’t be concerned; it happens rather frequently that ZIP files cannot be opened using the Mac OS Archive Utility or the Windows Unarchiver. We recommend utilising the free application KEKA (on Mac) or 7zip (on Windows), both of which are far superior.

LUTS

Our LUTs are compatible with footage from any camera (Canon 5D Mark III, Sony a7S, Panasonic GH4, Lumix LX100, Fuji Film series, Blackmagic Pocket, Blackmagic Cinema and Production 4K, RED Dragon, Arri Alexa, etc). They are optimised for standard image profiles, with minimal contrast and saturation, resulting in a neutral, well-balanced image.

There’s no need to pre-color your film before applying the LUTs as long as you’ve properly exposed it and established the white balance.
However, if you’re having issues with contrast or colour balance, we recommend addressing those issues first before applying the LUT.
When applied to well-balanced neutral footage, every innovative LUT will always produce the greatest results.

 

Our LUTs can be used with the most photo and video editing softwares, on Mac and PC:

  • Adobe Premier Pro
  • Davinci Resolve
  • Final Cut Pro X
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • After Effects
  • Avide Media composer
  • Wondershare Filmora
  • Movavi and much more

 

Conversion LUTs/Camera LUTs can be used to restore a clip to its original state. Assuming adequate exposure, the LUT can be used as your grade or as the starting point for a grade. Of course, you don’t have to utilise a camera LUT at all; simply add some contrast and saturation to convert LOG to Rec 709.

Because Camera LUTs are applied first in the processing chain, they can clip shadow and highlight detail that might otherwise be lost during the grading process. This is typically not an issue with a well-exposed photo.

 

METHOD 1

  • Step 1 Apply the “Lumetri Color” effect to the footage in your timeline. This effect can be found in the “Effects and Presets” browser, within the “Color Correction” folder.
  • Step 2 Navigate to the “Creative” tab inside the Lumetri Color Effect Panel and select the drop down menu next to “Look”. Then select “Browse”.
  • Step 3 Select your desired LUT and it will be applied to your clip.
    This method works perfectly in Premiere Pro, however each time you want to switch to a new LUT you will need to repeat steps 2 and 3.

METHOD 2

Alternatively, you can also install the LUTs manually in a subfolder within the Premiere Pro application so that you don’t need to re-load them each time you want to use a new LUT.
To accomplish this, you will need to copy and paste the .cube files into the following subfolder:

  • Mac: Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro/Adobe Premiere Pro.app (right click and select “Show Package Contents”)/Contents/Lumetri/LUTs/Technical
  • PC: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro/Lumetri/LUTS/Technical

Once you have placed the .cube files into the correct folders, follow these steps:

  • Step 1 Apply the “Lumetri Color” effect to the footage in your timeline. This effect can be found in the “Effects and Presets” browser, within the “Color Correction” folder.
  • Step 2 Navigate to the “Basic Correction” tab inside the Lumetri Color Effect and select the drop down menu next to “Input LUT”.
  • Step 3 Select your desired LUT from the dropdown menu and it will be applied to your clip.
    Please note that although this method is more convenient than Method 1, Premiere Pro is technically using your LUT files as an “input LUT” as opposed to an “output LUT”. This may be an important consideration depending on your overall color workflow.

 

Step 1 Copy and paste the .cube files into the “LUT” folder located here:

Mac: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT/
PC: ProgramData/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Support/LUT

You may choose to either copy the individual .cube files, or copy the folder that they are contained in. By copying the folder, the LUT files will be organized in a sub-folder when you later access them inside of Resolve.

Step 2 Launch DaVinci Resolve, and your LUT files will now automatically be loaded into the software.

Step 3 Apply your LUT in Resolve by doing the following:
In the Color Panel, create a new serial node and then right click on that node. Scroll down to “3D LUT” and then select your desired LUT from the sub menu. Once selected, it will instantly apply the look to your footage.

 

  1. Select a video clip in the browser or the timeline.
  2. In the Info inspector, click the Metadata View pop-up menu in the bottom-left corner and choose General, Extended, or Settings.
  3. Click the Camera LUT pop-up menu and choose Add Custom Camera LUT.In the window that appears, navigate to the LUT file you want to import, and select it.
  4. You can import 3D LUT files with the filename extensions .cube and .mga. You can select single files, multiple files, or a folder of files.
  5. Click the Output Color Space pop-up menu and choose the target color space that the custom camera LUT converts to.
  6. The target color space is usually indicated in the custom camera LUT name.Click Open.
  7. The custom camera LUT you imported appears in the Custom Camera section of the Camera LUT pop-up menu. If you imported a folder of LUT files, it appears as a submenu in that section of the pop-up menu.

 

Step 1 Right click on a clip in your Bin and select “Source Settings”.

Step 2 In the “Source Settings” window, click “Color Management Settings”.

Step 3 In the “Color Management Settings” window, click on “Select LUT File”.

Step 4 Navigate to the desired .cube files and click “Open”. Once the LUTs are loaded into Avid Media Composer, you can close the “Color Management Settings” window.

Step 5 In the “Source Settings” window, select your desired LUT from the drop down menu and click “Add”. The LUT will then be applied to your clip.

 

You can also use LUT files to color grade still images inside of Adobe Photoshop by following these steps:

Step 1 Open an image inside of Photoshop and then select “Layer” in the top menu bar. Navigate to “New Adjustment Layer” and click on “Color Lookup”.

Step 2 An Adjustment Layer will now appear on top of your image in the “Layers” panel. The “Properties” panel should also now be open. If it isn’t open, select “Window” in the top menu bar, and then click on “Properties”.

Step 3 On the “Properties“ tab, select the small grid-like icon on the top left (if it isn’t already selected), and select “3DLUT File” if it isn’t selected by default.

Step 4 Click on “Load 3D LUT” from the drop-down menu, and navigate to the LUT file of your choosing, Once selected, the LUT will be automatically applied to your image.

It’s also worth noting that you can dial down the opacity of your adjustment layer to decrease the effect if you want to create a more subtle look.

Film Editing Assets

All of the our film assets are compatible with any software that supports multiple video layers and the ability to change Blending Modes. Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Final Cut Pro X, Davinci Resolve, Sony Vegas, Filmora, Movavi, and many more are included.

 

Don’t be concerned; it happens rather frequently that ZIP files cannot be opened using the Mac OS Archive Utility or the Windows Unarchiver. We recommend utilising the free application KEKA (on Mac) or 7zip (on Windows), both of which are far superior.

 

Our packs are not plug-ins that must be installed, but rather video files that can be imported and worked with just like regular footage. We do this to ensure that they work with as many video editing programmes as possible.
Simply drag and drop the asset folder into your project to get started.

 

No installation needed. The majority of the files on this site are used as overlays. To use, simply import the same way you would with any other footage files. Then place on a layer above your main edit, change the blending mode.
