I mean the presets are good, some are great, but they teach little about what makes the images look good, a lot of them rely on colour LUTs for the more complex colour modifications, in Lightroom they’d be icc or dpp profiles I believe, and most people wouldn’t really look even if everything was showing. It was a lot of work, and although I am still trying to work out how on earth achieved his amazing Fujifilm 400H rendition in his LUT, the process taught me a huge lot about what it is that make films so well liked while at the same time I also noticed the online photography industry, almost in its entirety outsorcing processing to presets like VSCO, Mastin labs, and so on. So I decided I’d need to reverse engineer the look I wanted from scratch. Of course I wanted the awesome film look that, say Jose Villa ( ) produces with his Fujifilm 400H, but since I was using RawTherapee exclusively I was neither able to use Lightroom presets, nor did RawTherapee (at the time) have equivalents for most Lightroom features. It all began back in the day when Lightroom presets became super popular and tried to mimic films. Since you brought them up here I might as well talk about them a little since there is a bit more to it than just presets. ![]()
