I’m a hack amateur and take so few good photos that I have the time and will to edit each one individually. I’m not a preset person, probably because of the low volume and I find preset photos still need work. I found a feature that C1 added called Match Look that can create what I’d call baselines. When you create or copy an image into it, Match Look attempts to, um, match it and you can save it as a preset that can be edited. It’s not perfect, but gets me about 90% there, based on the look of images I like. It’s pretty good for developing a consistent library of looks.
This guy has a good review:
This began from Fred’s demonstration of Cobalt’s K64 profiles for LR. I’ve loaded in copies of my Dad’s ‘50s Kodachrome scans (50s K64) and my own scans for “Late K64”. These presets can be a little off but it gets the majority of grading work done, leaving me to only a few, generally simple tweaks.
Anyone else using it? I haven’t found any mention of it here.
