In their own words
Lightroom Presets by peva3
Lightroom Presets by peva3 is a free set of XMP presets for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC, available as a ZIP download. Its 445 presets are grouped into 13 categories, including film-inspired looks such as Kodak Portra, Fujifilm Classic Chrome, Cinestill 800T and Ilford HP5, plus creative styles and alternative processes. The project is presented as an open-source alternative to commercial preset packs. The XMP files can be inspected, modified and shared, and the repository lists the project under the MIT license. Presets are intended for macOS and Windows. Installation instructions give Develop Presets folder paths for both systems and advise restarting Lightroom after copying the files. The README recommends adjusting white balance and exposure after applying a preset; its grain settings were tuned for 24MP images. The project also invites questions and contributions through an issue or discussion.
