I never believed in presets and the few that I did try just never gave me the results I was looking for. I recently stumbled across Mastin Labs and I couldn't be happier! I thought at first that they seemed expensive, and given my history with having mixed results with lightroom presets I almost passed on it. The amount of time I saved editing my last wedding made it worth every penny! Figuring out which preset works best for you couldn't be any easier, just take their preset quiz. My wife and I both took it and came to the conclusion that the Fuji Original pack was best for us. I never realized how much I liked Fuji color until now. I'm even going to buy Fuji pro 400h for when I'm shooting film and digital hybridly now. I'll likely get the Portra Original pack next for the same reason, especially since I already have about 30 rolls of it currently in my fridge. Thank you Mastin Labs for making presets that actually work!!!

I did get from Mastin Labs four presets for Capture one: Adventure Everyday, Ilford, Portra and Portra Push. I am absolutely amazed with the results of the application of the presets on my portfolio: the almost perfect integration with the Capture 1, the relation effort/results on editing, the consistency I am affording and, above all that, the supreme pleasure I get, are second to none. I have never considered myself a darkroom photographer but I have always forced to be. What you are doing with your presets free myself of 90% of work in the digital “darkroom” and at the same time gives me the "look and feel” of the good old film. Nothing compares to film but Mastin Labs presets compare best. Highly recommended. PS Mastin Labs tutorials, where Kirk affirm himself as an example of modesty and competence, are gorgeous. Mastin Labs community on Facebook is absolutely amazing.

Mastin Labs has been top quality from the moment I started looking into preset packages with them. From the Preset Quiz on their website to help identify which preset package is best for each individual, to their Facebook community group for a wealth of knowledge in everything photography and preset related, to their prompt, friendly and helpful customer service, to their PHENOMENAL presets, I highly recommend Mastin Labs for their preset packs. My editing time has gone down in time drastically, with very easy to use steps, and top notch presets for perfect photos in maximum three steps. The video tutorials run by Kirk himself, using photos from the Mastin community, are so informative and I have learned so much more since watching them as well, I highly recommend this product!

I have been using Mastin Labs presets for several years. Not only has Mastin allowed me to discover my own style and voice with my work, but these presents have enabled me to achieve consistency, establish an efficient workflow, and match my film scans with ease. I have used several other very popular presets and none compare to results I can achieve with Mastin. Aside from the presents themselves being top notch, the community that Kirk Mastin has created with the goal of supporting and lifting photographers up in their work is one-of-a-kind. There is no other online community that is as supportive and helpful, and I think it speaks volumes to his commitment to serving others through this work. Buy the presets, you will not regret it.

I’ve been a photographer for 8 years now and have always struggled with a consistent styles. I’ve seen so many trends come and go and I’ve always waited to see what would come next (not intentionally...I just did). But for the first time with Mastin Labs I am delivering photos to clients with such confidence! Mastin labs IS timeless and everything I’ve been looking for without knowing it! I’m so thankful I found this community!!

Love both these presets and the company behind them!

First off, you still need to do your part on taking a decent photo, but Mastin Labs makes it easier for sure! Apply the preset by following the instructions. You're all set! Amazing presets and amazing service. I sent a few photos to them so they can apply the presets I like. Outcome was amazing and I was able yo replicate them. I'm a total amateur in this, but my pictures look very much professional now. I now have confidence that I'll be able to deliver work I can be proud of. Apply your own tweaks if you'd like. :)

I have always been skeptical about presets, I’ve actually never purchased any until I found Mastin Labs. The 3 step process is genius and makes editing easy! I will say, presets aren’t intended to fix a photo, this is a great recourse if you have a consistent shooting style and want your images to look real, and also maintain that timeless film quality! Mastin labs has so many great videos on how these presets are intended to be used so, dive deep in those vids to figure out which pack will best fit into your workflow! Here’s an example of how this benefited my biz. I edited 25 images using ML presets during dinner at my last wedding, took me about 10 min, and I had them all loaded on the iPad for my bride and her guests to see. Everyone was impressed and absolutely LOVED seeing their images before the reception was in full swing! You. Need. This.
