The Summer Color Grading LUTs accentuate the rich, warm tones of photos, and the Spring Color Grading LUTs bring out lush greens, pastel yellows, and bright whites.
For those seeking a softer touch, Pastel Tone LUTs offer a soft and delicate look, perfect for portrait and landscape photography. The blue hour color grading presets add cool blue tones to photos, creating a moody vibe, while the Winter Color Grading LUTs for Lightroom create a sharp and cool style reminiscent of winter.
Unique Color Grading Effects
The best Lightroom presets for creating unique color grading effects include a variety of specialized styles. Orange-Teal cinematic looks, purple tone presets for creative color shifts, infrared and desaturated moody options, golden hour and sunset glow effects, as well as vintage and film-inspired presets stand out.
Orange-Teal cinematic look is achieved by adjusting Camera Calibration sliders (Blue Hue to -100, Red Hue to +50) and applying orange highlights with cyan shadows in Lightroom’s Color Grading panel. Purple Tone Presets, designed to give photos dreamy, creative vibes with violet and magenta color shifts, are excellent for artistic impact.
Infrared and Desaturated LUTs offer unique, otherworldly infrared styles and moody desaturated presets, providing surreal or urban contemporary looks. Golden Hour and Sunset Glow Presets simulate or enhance natural warm lighting conditions, perfect for landscapes and portraits needing a warm, inviting feel.
Film-inspired Presets, such as Fuji Astia 100F or Kodak Max 800-inspired presets, deliver soft natural colors or bold vintage film tones that enhance skin tones and overall atmosphere.
