Mike, I’m with you, I’m sure. I’ve been using PhotoLab for a bit over a year now. Quietly following many of your conversations and learning what I could. (You ask great questions and get even better answers).
Around Black Friday I upgraded to PL5 and added Viewpoint, Nik, and Filmpack licenses. This last one was interesting last year when I did the free trial, but I had opted to save the money. Now that I have it, I kept toggling back and forth between the standalone FilmPack app and PL, and made a comment here about how they are non-integrated. I could see a preset menu in PL, but saw no way to easily browse and compare different “film effects” (aka emulations). About the time @Joanna asked if I had made use of the “preset browser” I clicked on a button on top right that said “Apply Presets” and found a view where I could see some of the various film emulations and other creative effects included in FP.
This thread exists for folks to share their own customized presets, and here I found multiple versions of “engraved” and “engraved color” presets which I found to be very useful for a greeting card project I am working on.
Another useful thread with preset pack is here. Filmpack 6 Elite presets for use within PhotoLab are now available!
