What is a Luminar Preset?
Presets are by definition a pre-defined adjustment that can be applied to any photography to give a consistent adjustment.
Now let’s clear things up – presets aren’t always a one-click solution despite the intention. Many photographers use presets to get 90% closer to their desired effect but still need to make refinements image to image.
The difference between a LUT and a preset is that they change specific aspects of an image. A LUT will convert only the colour and tone in your photo.
Whereas a preset allows you to change other (more wide ranging) characteristics such as exposure, sharpness, and vignetting.
Where Can I Get Luminar Presets?
Luminar presets can be found all over the internet, some are great and help you develop a consistent style. Luminar themselves sell extra presets (that don’t come as standard with the Neo software) via their website marketplace.
