Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

PresetForge compares an original photo with its edited counterpart, then exports the measured look as a Lightroom .xmp preset and a .cube LUT for video.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The workflow depends on a matched before-and-after image pair rather than a single reference image or a model-generated guess. The page exposes some of the resulting measurement detail, including point-curve fit, residual error, curve anchors, channel adjustments, and colour-grade bands. It also lists multiple output formats: Lightroom’s .xmp, a video-oriented .cube LUT, and a .json representation.
