Lightroom and Capture One products require separate builds and updates and are sold separately. Support resources are available 24/7, while email support promises replies within 24 hours Monday through Friday. Tutorials, downloadable guides, and community editing tips are also offered. Products are downloads for Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows users. Listed prices are 55.00 USD once and 125.00 USD once.
The Luxe Lens
The Luxe Lens sells digital presets, actions, overlays, and LUTs for photo and video editing. Its catalog includes Lightroom presets, Photoshop actions and overlays, Capture One styles, and color-grading LUTs, with compatibility depending on the product. AI Adaptive presets apply localized changes to people, skies, backgrounds, and details. The company describes its natural retouching as polishing skin while keeping its texture and character.
Desktop presets support Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, and Photoshop on Mac and Windows, subject to product-specific version requirements. XMP presets can be imported into Lightroom Mobile on iOS and Android; AI Adaptive and Effects presets require the paid Premium app. Photoshop actions are desktop-only, while overlays do not work in Lightroom or Lightroom Mobile. Video LUTs use .CUBE format for compatible editors and apps. Purchases are digital downloads, and the company offers installation instructions and one-to-one support for preset issues. Luxe Lens says it was started by photographers in 2016. Pricing is paid, from $35; there is no free plan or free trial.
