Presets for Aperture

[AstonZagato]

Are there any PHers out there who do their photo post-production in Aperture on Macs?

If so, have you downloaded any extra presets (or uploaded them)?

Any recommendations?

I'm particularly looking for a graduated filter preset. I know it can be done with burn and dodge but i wondered if there was an off-the-shelf preset?

BUMP.



I'll give this a bump. I trialled Aperture but don't use it (still preferring Lightroom).

But what format do the files have to be for presets/actions/(whatever Aperture calls them)? Being thick - do the presets for one platform (because they're only like Actions right?) translate to another???



Although I don't use Presets very much I do find the ones (free) from Matt Kloskowski are occasionally quite useful in LR

I don't use Lightroom so I can't comment.

There are lots of free (and paid) presets out there that look very good. However, they seem to be focused on creating overall effects like vintage, HDR, etc. I understand that Lightroom has built in grad filter - which is what I want.

Perhaps I ought to build ne - I think it is easy to save is as your own preset.

I use Lightroom myself, however, I can recommend Visual Supply Co's FILM 01 film emulation presets. They're not free (£75) but are pretty damn good!

Found this site - which seems quite comprehensive - while I was looking. I expect you have seen: http://presetpond.com/
