Mextures vs PresetLove

Mextures offers photo-editing textures, overlays, film presets, and apps for creating film-like effects. Its iOS editor supports unlimited layers that can be moved, hidden, rotated, and adjusted for opacity. The product page lists more than 200 stackable textures, including grain, dust, light leaks, and color gradients, along with 30 film presets and more than 300 Formulas. Formula Manager lets users import Formulas from others and export their own to share. Console is a free Photoshop plugin in beta; it works with Photoshop CC 2016–2023 on Windows 10 or newer and macOS 11 or newer. The maker warns that the current Console version crashes with the latest Photoshop and macOS Sonoma. Film Presets are compatible with Console, Lightroom CC 2021/2022, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere, with separate software-specific versions required for separate purchases. They are not conversion LUTs, so RAW or LOG footage needs to be normalized first. Listed options include the iOS app at 1.99 USD once and the X-Film Overlay Pack at $10 a month.

PresetLove offers Lightroom presets that apply different looks to photos and can speed up editing. Its free library has more than 300 presets to download, and the collection grows regularly. The collection includes moody, vibrant, film, retro, black and white, soft matte, airy and cinematic styles, with presets for subjects such as portraits, landscapes, weddings, real estate, fashion and food. PresetLove presents the presets for professional photographers and people editing images for blogs or social media. Beginners can choose a preset and adjust it. Mobile presets use DNG files that can be imported to a phone; desktop XMP files work with Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic. Installation instructions cover iPhone, Android and desktop. For mobile downloads, users enter an email address on a preset page and receive the files by email. Listed payment methods for the bundle include card, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
