![]() Quite the opposite, they are stunning and made my work faster on many occasions. But it’s not to stay I didn’t use the presets and wouldn't recommend them. This is why I wish we could change the opacity, or alter only the colors while leaving luminosity alone in Capture One and Lightroom. Not that the presets wouldn’t work for beauty or fashion, but I just find them quite drastic in terms of color grading, and it made it hard to maintain natural looking colors as I need. Retouching mostly beauty and fashion work, I didn’t use these presets every day as I want to keep control over everything when editing these genres. But it's not available for Lightroom, and doesn't offer as much control as layers do. The only alternative currently available is using the 25%, 50%, and 75% ICC profiles offered by for Capture One to gain more control. But, as an advantage, no slider is touched, and thus you have a blank canvas with already a beautiful color grading and contrast applied to work with. Same goes in Lightroom, even when relying on presets to change the opacity of a preset. However, the ICC profile is applied to the image itself, it cannot be used on a layer and thus the opacity of the presets cannot be altered. With Capture One 11, I can change the opacity of my presets when applied to a layer. This method has both a huge advantage and a substantial inconvenient. Notice the ICC profile is not that of the Nikon D750 on the file after a preset has been applied. In Capture One, it relies on presets to alter your ICC profile while in Lightroom it seems a bit more tedious and requires the use of soft proofing to change the color profile. Instead, you’ll have to change the color profile of your file to see the LUTs being applied to your image. The presets in Capture One and Lightroom won’t move around sliders for you. The difference is subtle but has its importance. In some ways in it is, as it applies pre-saved settings and color grading to your images or sequences, but at the same time the presets, in this case, are genuinely LUTs made compatible with Lightroom and Capture One. ![]() I’m not sure if calling the LUTs presets is correct. But does it work this way and are the presets that good? I’ve been trying professional package during the last month and here are my feelings about it. ![]() Being able to access the same presets no matter the app I’m working with is fantastic. That’s less to remember and consistent color toning made easier. When I stumbled upon it seemed too good to be true: LUTs that works with both Capture One and Lightroom, but also as any other LUT with most video editors and with Photoshop. It meant I’d be able to color grade photos the same way I do videos. ![]()
