What presets do you cherish? Which ones would you recommend?

Only a couple that I made myself.
I've automated the sharpening, noise processing and lens correction steps into presets unique for each of my cameras and all the ISO settings. Steps I'd execute on every images that are now applied as defaults after the import step by sorting the results by ISO setting. I then fine tune, if needed, during editing, but mostly these standards are set correctly. These settings help to improve older images where I was still inventing the wheel each and every image. The for-purchase presets are just a waste of money as they don't represent my vision, nor my preferred consistency of vision.

Thank you for your comment. I haven't purchased any presets, nor will I.

Never understood how anyone could possibly use one of the 150 preset offers I see all the time.

There are a few that are very useful, from time to time.
I find that some are a good starting point then I refine to my liking saves time
I have from time to time downloaded some โfreeโ presets. I have found them to be worth exactly what I paid for them.
I suppose I should, but I never use presets.
I use only the couple of presets that I've made. The preset I use most applies a lens correction and Basic > "Auto" during import.
Thank you for the replies.
I recommend investing the time to create your own presets. Not hard to do and always free.
