Lightroom Presets by peva3 vs Signature Edits

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.

Signature Edits sells photography presets, marketing templates, and training courses, with products aimed at helping photographers build skills and earn from their work. Its presets are designed for a film-like appearance, and its AI Engine toolkit supports complex touchups and effects. Marketing templates are edited with drag-and-drop tools and do not require Photoshop; guides and templates include copy written by professional copywriters. Products are delivered as downloads, with eight presets included. The listed starting price is $59 one-time, and a free plan is also listed. Presets have a 7-day, 100% money-back guarantee, while templates carry a 48-hour guarantee. The service also offers free raw files for practice and for use on websites or social media. Those files can be downloaded, modified, distributed, and used commercially under an irrevocable worldwide license, subject to stated exclusions. The AI Engine Preset Toolkit supports Lightroom Classic 12.3 and above, Lightroom CC, and Lightroom Mobile. The site says support tickets receive a response within 24 hours.
