I’m pleased to announce that Macphun has released a custom set of presets that I authored for their Mac image editing software, Luminar. The Insta Inspiration pack of presets gives Mac users a 1-click approach to matching the most popular Instagram looks directly from your own DSLR images.
The Insta Inspiration Pack includes 30 presets of the most popular Instagram-inspired looks, including:
- 1977
- Aden
- Amaro
- Brooklyn
- Clarendon
- Crema
- Dogpatch
- Earlybird
- Gingham
- Hefe
- Helena
- Hudson
- Inkwell
- Juno
- Kelvin
- Lark
- Lo-Fi
- Ludwig
- Mayfair
- Moon
- Nashville
- Perpetua
- Rise
- Sierra
- Skyline
- Slumber
- Sutro
- Toaster
- Valencia
- X-Pro II
Luminar is compatible with both RAW and TIFF/JPEG image formats, and you can also use it as a Lightroom plug-in. What I like about it is that unlike most 1-click presets, Luminar shows you all the adjustment tools that went into creating a particular look. That means not only can you modify the presets (Want to change the vignette? No problem!) but you can also save those changes as your own custom presets, too!
Other cool things about Luminar
- Layer support
- Luminosity masking
- Image adjustment and special effects tools
- Add custom textures to images, and make composites
If you’re a Mac user and find Photoshop intimidating, you may want to give Luminar a try.
Jason – which instagram filters are emulated in the Insta Inspiration Pack?
Hi Craig-
There are 30 filters in the pack. I’ve updated the post to include the list, along with a screenshot.
