Lightroom Presets

[AustinSTI]

What ligthroom presets do you use? Which do you recommend? Why?

I can't exactly remember where I got them, but I found develop presets that mimick the settings used in Canon's DPP software so that when I import photos, I automatically apply one of the Canon presets (like Canon Standard or Canon Portrait) to the photos. Absolutely LOVE these presets.

I only use LifeInDigitalFilm presets for work where I want them.

The author of the presets creates emulations of various emulsions, most of which I have found to represent the film used well. They are free, and there is a package for $10 which has a few unreleased ones and the money goes to buying roles of film to create new presets.
