Five looks, one point of view.
What's in the pack
For photos
Lightroom and Camera Raw presets (.xmp) for all five looks, plus a greener variant of Faded Film. They carry the look only, so your exposure, white balance and crop stay yours.
For video and anything else
33-point 3D LUTs (.cube) for every look. Load them in any video or colour app that takes .cube files, on normally exposed Rec.709 or sRGB material.
Also inside
- A one-page guide: install, best order, strength tips
- Commercial licence for client work
- 2.3 MB zip, instant download after payment
120published commercial grades measured
Measured, not guessed.
These looks come from my own work: restaurant, hospitality and editorial shoots I photographed and graded myself. Each one was fitted from pairs of the untouched camera file and my finished, published grade, then tested on photos it had never seen.
Signature is the common thread across all of them: calm highlights, lifted shadows, warm mids, cool deep shadows and quiet purples. It's the grade I reach for first.

Questions
What do I need to use them?
Any version of Lightroom or Camera Raw for the presets. For the LUTs, any photo or video app that loads .cube files.
Can I use them on client work?
Yes. Grade as many personal and commercial projects as you like, for any client, anywhere. Just don't share or resell the preset and LUT files themselves.
Will it look exactly like the examples?
Close, on a neutral starting image. Set exposure and white balance first, then apply the look and adjust the strength. Every shoot is different, which is why each look reads well between 60 and 100%.
How do I get the files?
Straight after payment you land on a download page, and the link keeps working for a few downloads. Lost it? Write to hello@chapter3.work with your receipt.
A studio licence?
One licence covers one person. For a team, email hello@chapter3.work.
