PATHFINDER PROFILE PACK


Probably the wildest and most outlandish creation I’ve shared with the world through the Webshop, Pathfinder is an experimental profile pack for the brave ones among you!

The color palette of the Pathfinder Profile Pack lays in the space between Vagabond and Ambertone — one of the portrait presets on the webshop, this time powered by the 3DLut infusion*

The Tech Behind Pathfinder:

Pathfinder Profile packs are created using the new 3D LUT infusion system. This way of creating a color preset allows a combination of a 3D LUT and a traditional Preset delivering color manipulation results you could achieve inside Lightroom or ACR

In order to reveal the magic behind this pack, play with White Balance and Camera Calibration settings of your shots to get those amazing results!

This is not your average preset!
As it’s created as a profile with a 3D LUT color remapping infused, you have the ability to control the strength of the effect using the amount slider, and absolutely transform your photos!

To keep it short: Profiles are Presets on steroids and their main benefit is color manipulation on a whole new level! (which is something that many Lightroom/Photoshop users don’t know about!)

Over the course of almost two years I’ve ended up creating much more, a versatile Profile Pack that can be used for your adventure, off road driving and action shots as well, be it indoor or outdoor, it delivers an interesting movie like color palette I am lately very fond of.

You can see how I’m using it on my Instagram!

Pathfinder is a pack I’ve started creating while inspired by urban cityscape shots, metal and glass, textures of rust and darkwood.

As a pre-filter or as a general preset of your color correction, use them both ways and don’t forget to be creative, as this is exactly what I’ve created them for!
