Thanks for the insight and perspective Gajan! Been editing since CS2 and LR1 and have yet to create my own presets. Everytime I edit I end up slightly changing the style based on what I felt and the conditions. Lately I've caught myself re-editing and unable to pin down a style, especially photos from a Japan trip a year ago. Maybe this is the sign to slowly lock it in.
I think what you’re feeling is what a lot of people get hung up on. Trying to lock down a style. Instead, look at your presets as a library. Make them, save them, and repeat.
Just keep adding to the library and purge them later if needed.
Thanks for this insight. I really need to do this. I've never tried any presets, but I've gotten to the point where I make the same consistent changes to most pictures. It's folly at this point not to make a preset. Thanks for another insightful post!
Aether has always been on my radar, especially their motorcycle gear. Wish they were more widely distributed in Canada (especially moto gear) so that it’d be easier to check out in person

As someone who’s been using presets too often lately, this is the tough advice I needed haha
I appreciate the honesty, John. Put in the time. Doesn’t have to be overnight but I know it’ll be much more fulfilling in the end. Good luck.
