JW Lightroom Presets 4 — Cinestill

  • Adobe Lightroom CC (version 4.1 and above)

  • Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 10.1 and above)

Please note
These presets will not work in Lightroom 6 and below. They will only work in the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom (v10.1 and up) and Photoshop.

If you only have Lightroom and not Photoshop, you will be able to run the film emulation presets (and the frames), but not the Red halation effect, light leaks and flares. For those additional effects, you must have Photoshop CC.

As some of these presets use colour profiles to form part of the look, they cannot be supplied as DNGs.

Refunds cannot be given for digital downloads.

If you are experiencing difficulty with getting these presets installed and working, please first check that your version of Lightroom is fully updated before contacting me. Thank you.

Cinestill 800T

9 Lightroom Preset variations on this much beloved film stock. Emulating 35mm and 120 stock. Some optimised for daylight, some for night.

NOTE
Red halation effect is added via an automated process in Photoshop. This is an included Photoshop Action in this pack. You can apply the base look in Lightroom, but you will need Photoshop to add the signature red halation effect around the lights.

Light Leaks

10 Photoshop actions included that generate light leaks (as I found 800T very prone to this). Light leaks are generated using the image’s data and so will be different on each image.
