F-Variations for Lightroom: Free Lightroom Presets for Fuji X-Series users

I’ve created a new set of presets for Fuji users and I’m happy to announce that I’m giving these away for free. Basically, I really like the various film simulation modes available on Fuji’s cameras, and the corresponding picture profiles in Lightroom. They’re good on their own, but they also make a good starting point for some further manipulation. So, using the various profiles as a starting point, I created my own set of “Variations” of these.

I first got the idea, when I created some variations of classic chrome. I added some contrast, clarity and so on, and did some curves tweaks, to create an enhanced version of classic chrome. When I did this, I then made a few more versions, and that was the start of it. I then did the same to many of the other modes, and ended up with a large collection of presets. I’m pretty happy with them too. Some are just adding extra “oomph” while others use film simulation techniques, and offer things like fading and tinting.

One word of warning though. Some of these presets will only work if you’re shooting with a camera that supports the corresponding film simulation mode. For example, to use the “Chrome” presets, your Fuji camera must support the “Classic Chrome” preset. Similarly, to use one of the Acros variations, your camera must support the Acros simulation mode (currently only the X-Pro 2 and the X-T2). These presets will not enable Classic Chrome or Acros on raw files from cameras that don’t support it.

Anyway, These are available now from here on the store, and they’re completely free. I hope you enjoy them, and please spread the word.

One thing I would ask, if you are sharing them, please share the link to the store page, and not the actual download. They are free, but they’re still my work and they’re still copyright.

Also, as these presets are offered for free we offer no support for their installation or use. However we do have an extensive set of Support documents and FAQ on our Help Centre page.
