Who It Is For

For Photographers Who Already Edit With Presets

A preset is a starting point. Each frame still needs its own exposure, white balance and skin-tone decisions.

01

Goodlight and TAP users

You have chosen your preset suite. We start from it and keep the finished gallery close to the look you expect.

02

Users of other preset suites

We also work with Noble, Mastin Labs and Refined.

03

Photographers with custom profiles

Bring your own presets, LUTs or profiles. They become the base your personal editor works from.

04

Photographers worldwide

We work with wedding and portrait photographers no matter where they are based.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which presets do you work with?

We work with major professional preset suites including Goodlight, TAP (The Archetype Process), Noble, Mastin Labs and Refined, or with your own custom presets and profiles.

Can you work from my own custom presets?

Yes. We can use your own custom presets, LUTs and profiles, and your editor builds your custom color profile around them.

Will the preset alone decide the final look?

No. The name of a preset does not describe every decision in a finished gallery. Your reference edits remain the guide for exposure, white balance and final color balance.

What should I send with my catalog?

Name the exact preset and version, add reference edits and note your preferences for skin tones, whites and contrast. The style guide article has a short checklist.

Can I try it before ordering?

Yes. Send up to 10 RAW photos or a Lightroom catalog with Smart Previews, along with your reference edits. You receive the result within 3 business days: edited JPEGs for RAW photos, or an edited Lightroom catalog for a catalog. Start on the Free Trial page.

How much does it cost?

Color grading is $0.20 per image, for example 500 images = $100. The minimum order is 50 images ($10) and standard turnaround is 5-7 business days. Priority turnaround is available: 5 days (+30%), 4 days (+60%), 3 days (+70%) or 2 days (+100%), calculated on the order price.
