Hi everybody, i would like to know how to “copy” a type of editing. Let’s say you find an account on Instagram, all the pictures have the same vibe and kind of filter added to them, it’s homogeneous. How do you create pre-settings from a random picture to make your pic look the same / have the same vibe?
Honestly, you quit editing in Lr. The thing is that even if you go ahead and create those settings that bring your reference and your target images close, then most probably you will lose the vibe in the next image you load up. Then Lr can only do so much, because it is meant as a developing tool and not a color grading tool. So consistency will remain as long as you are editing the same set and then on your next shooting you need to start all over again.
I would suggest a 3DLUT based workflow. So for example from my work I am using analog film simulating LUTs. First in Lr I only flatten the contrast settings in the images, then open in Ps, a color lookup adjustment and load a 3DLUT onto them. Adjust the opacity and more than often I am done while all my library looks very consistent. I also don’t use only one LUT a few more (3 for color, 2 for BW) and still the color looks very consistent thoughout my insta.
Should do the trick, but If you need more info or a tutorial let me know I’ll make something.
