A thread for us to share presets!

Here you go. I edited the text directly with NotePad++ ; Not sure if there are other preferred editors.

Just as an aside, you can also ‘Export to Application’ and choose Film Pack 5 if you want all the bells and whistles of the full version. I shall now spend some time digesting this thread :slightly_smiling_face:

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is that there is nothing in the standalone version of FP that’s not available within PL. So why would you do this?

I’m guessing that some people prefer using the FP interface. I very quickly uninstalled the FilmPack 5 Elite standalone version in 2017 and do not have the FilmPack 6 standalone version installed either.

I’ve just had a little look and I believe you are correct, but things like hue, saturation and colour are separate (understandably) so perhaps it is more that I prefer the workflow in Film Pack 6 - once I am in there, everything seems easier to tweak. When I apply a film preset, I usually adjust quite a few sliders.

While I never saw any advantage to using the standalone version, you should continue to use whatever works best for you.

I know this thread is two years old, but can someone here point me to an “engraved” pre-set that will work in PhotoLab 6, on a Mac? Maybe there is a newer thread that I missed?

I’d like to try this preset, but don’t know where to find one for newer versions of PhotoLab.

Just download and install from one of the links in this thread and follow the installation instructions…

Here is my post with a couple of my images…

Do as @Joanna has told you. The preset works with PL7.

I will go through the thread again - yesterday the ones I found were for Windows.
Thanks.

Are presets Win / Mac specific? @Joanna do you know?

Well, I downloaded @RexBlock’s and it worked on my Mac

I know the preset is there - worked for you, so it should work for me. There were responses regarding how to install the preset, but I don’t remember finding one for Mac, only Windows.

That sure is an awesome preset!!! Thanks to @RexBlock

I’ve now got my preset working, and love it. Today, everything sounds so logical. A few weeks ago, I was totally lost.

I think the quality of the “answers” depends on the quality of the “questions”. Sometimes I need to clarify, so it’s clear to others what I am trying to find out. I have only downloaded that one preset. Maybe I’ll add another one, and continue trying/testing.

Oh, and I also learn a LOT from answers to other people!

Mike, you are replying to a post that is about two years old. Please don’t confuse the thread like this

Agreed, I will star a new thread asking how one can develop/create a “preset”.

Don’t. There are plenty of videos and other tutorials already available. Google is your friend.

You’re welcome, thanks, and glad it worked out for you.

There may be plenty of presets and how-to videos, and other tutorials, but in my humble thoughts, what RexBlock created is really special - I know it is accomplished with standard pre-set tools but nothing I have yet seen compares with what he has done.

If a “master chef” served me a meal, and the first thing I did was to sprinkle lots of salt on it, how do you think he would feel? In no way do I want to edit what RexBlock created, even if I could, which I don’t know how to do. I made one small change, in brightness, and didn’t like the results. It would be like me trying to re-edit one of your published photos.

On the other hand, I’m obviously not in that category. I’m always learning, and I enjoy it when people try to re-edit my photos. :slight_smile:

As with many wonderful things, I feel it’s best to use it sparingly.
