My first Lightroom preset pack had quite a few downloads, so I decided to create a second Lightroom preset pack, with five more free to download presets for light painting, cityscape, landscape, and portrait photographers.
Lightroom Classic presets are a starting point for further post processing, so to make the most of these presets, please read the instructions for each preset. These presets are designed for photographers capturing photos with RAW files.
SK_BlackFiberOptic_RGB
This is the base preset that I use for creating black fiber optic portraits with the Ants on a Melon RGB Critter 2.0 and RGB Critter BT flashlights. This is based on a photographic exposure of f/5.6 and ISO400, with the Critter's 'Full Spectrum Fade mode'. Other RGB Critter preset modes may require an adjustment to white balance to suit the colours.
SK_Agfa_Ultra200_Clean
SK_Kodak_Ektar100_Clean
SK_Kodak_Gold200_Clean
These presets are useful for portraits and general photography, and mimic the popular Agfa Ultra 200, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Gold 200 film stocks. These presets include the highlights, and shadows, tone curve, color mixer, and calibration settings required to achieve this look. White balance and exposure have been left untouched, and will need to be adjusted to suit the photographic exposure. I personally like to increase texture and clarity. Unlike most film simulation lightroom presets, I have omitted the grain settings, for a cleaner, more contemporary look.

SK_Kodak_Tri-X400_Cityscape
This preset is based on the classic Kodak Tri-X 400 monochrome / black and white film, but with a modern wide dynamic range and no grain. This is designed for cityscapes (in particular night cityscapes) but works well with many other scenes including portraits. Adjust exposure to suit the scene.
