Hi to all,
I want to get away from lightroom and just use DXO and affinity Photo. Is there any sites that you can buy Presets. I am using the trial DXO Photolab 8. I have DXO Film pack as well. I have gone through the post of people offering presets.
What is the diffence between presets and LUTS
Thanks
Hello, Brenden
LUTs simply enable you to apply a certain “look” to your images … whereas Presets can contain a mix of many different PhotoLab settings from any of its correction tools.
Typically, a Preset is used as a starting point (to automate application of basic correction settings) - and then one tweaks and refines these settings to the needs of each image. On the other hand, a LUT is typically used at the end of that process (which starts with applying a Preset) to apply a colour grading to an image.
PL ships with both LUTs and Presets … You can create and save your own Presets for future use, and you can acquire LUTs from 3rd party providers.
I suggest you start with these in-built versions, and get used to using them first - - then you can decide if you need/want add any different LUTs and/or Presets to your tool-kit.
I suspect you’ll find you won’t need any extras (but, of course, that’s up to you).
Thanks John
