Hand-built develop presets for Lightroom Classic - the warmth and the cool, done properly. All forty come bundled with every Lightroom Tools plugin. Drag any frame below to see the grade land.
Every preset uses per-channel curves, full HSL, colour grading and camera calibration - not just a contrast slider and a warm tint.
The whole Basic panel is left free - exposure and white balance stay yours. The look layers on top as pure colour, so it travels across cameras and light instead of fighting them.
Each one ships with Lightroom's Amount slider enabled - full force or a whisper, your call, on every photo.
One preset - Candlelit Warmth - on two shots. Grab the handle and slide: left is the corrected file, right is the look on top.

Both frames got a small nudge in the Basic panel - exposure, and white balance if the light called for it - before the preset went on. That is the whole point: the preset carries the colour, you set the brightness. A few seconds per photo is what lets one look land on any scene, any camera.
It holds up everywhere - the same Candlelit Warmth preset on eighteen different shoots, sequenced by colour flow. No per-photo babysitting.
Candlelit Warmth is one of ten in this pack alone.
One preset - Storm & Ember - on two frames. Cool storm-blue shadows, golden light where it breaks through. Left is the corrected file, right is the grade.

Nothing here needed more than a touch of exposure in the Basic panel first. Get the frame to a sane brightness, drop the preset, done - that small step is what keeps one grade working across wildly different scenes and bodies.
The same Storm & Ember grade across eighteen frames - forest, weather, skin, low light. It travels.
Storm & Ember has nine siblings in Cinematic Noir.
One preset - Golden 200 - on two frames. A sunlit consumer-film wash: golden highlights, warm skin, greens pulled towards olive. Left is the corrected file, right is the grade.

Phone frame and full-frame sunset, same preset, no retuning - only a quick pass on the Basic panel to set exposure first. Leave that panel to the photo and the grade stops fighting the camera it came from.
Golden 200 across eighteen frames - studio, street, sand, backlight. One click each.
Golden 200 is one of ten in Vintage & Disposable.
One preset - Blockbuster - on two frames. Skin and reds pushed warm, everything behind them cooled to teal. It is the cinema separation trick, done with calibration and the colour mixer rather than a heavy filter.

Crowd in daylight, buses in flat cloud - one preset, and again only exposure set in the Basic panel before it went on. Four looks, four scenes, same thirty seconds of work.
Blockbuster across eighteen frames - crowds, streets, skin, signage. The separation holds without the skin going orange.
That is four looks out of forty.
The sliders and grids above show four presets. Here are the other thirty-six - a spread of moods, all in the same house style. Pick a pack, drop a look, tune to taste.
Airy, golden, gently pink - creamy skin and soft lifted blacks for weddings and portraits.
Dark, moody, filmic - teal shadows, deep blacks and a graded cinema feel.
Nostalgic film and disposable-camera character - grain, casts, faded blacks and a point-and-shoot flash.
The famous cinema grade, ten ways - calibration and colour-mixer driven, with the Basic panel left free for your own exposure.
Every other photo on this page is a different shoot. This one is the same file, eight times - one preset from somewhere across the four packs on each frame, no names, no cherry-picking. The middle one is untouched - and hover any of the other eight to fade it back to that same raw file. Same exposure throughout; only the grade moves.
Every pack on this page comes bundled with every Lightroom Tools plugin. Buy any one of them and the download is waiting on your thank-you page next to your license key - no separate checkout, no extra step, nothing to sign up for.
