The difference between a photo that gets saved and one that gets scrolled past is almost never the camera — it’s the editing. The right Lightroom preset applies a complete color story in one click. The right Photoshop action transforms a photograph into artwork that clients frame and hang. The right LUT makes your video footage look like it was shot by a cinematographer with a full grading suite. And the right Procreate tools make digital illustration feel as natural as working with physical media.
In this guide we’ve curated 36 of the best Lightroom presets, Photoshop actions, video LUTs, and creative digital tools for instant download — covering wedding and portrait presets, lifestyle and aesthetic presets, cinematic LUTs for video, artistic Photoshop effects, Procreate brushes and color palettes, and design assets for graphic creatives.

For Procreate users specifically, our 36 Procreate Brush Sets guide and the complete Procreate brushes beginner’s guide cover the full range of iPad drawing tools.
Understanding Lightroom Presets, Photoshop Actions, and Video LUTs
Lightroom Presets are saved collections of Lightroom editing settings — exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, white balance, HSL color adjustments, tone curve, and more — that apply a complete editing treatment to a photo in one click. A preset that took a professional photographer hours to develop and refine can be applied to your own images instantly, giving you a professional starting point that you can then fine-tune for each specific photo.
Desktop vs Mobile Presets. Lightroom presets come in two formats: .XMP or .LRTEMPLATE files for Lightroom Classic (desktop) and DNG files for Lightroom Mobile (phone and tablet). Most professional preset collections include both formats. When purchasing, check that the collection includes the format for your workflow — desktop, mobile, or both.
Photoshop Actions are recorded sequences of Photoshop steps that play back automatically when triggered — transforming a flat photograph into a painting, applying complex artistic effects, creating composites, or running multi-step retouching workflows in seconds. Actions that would take a skilled Photoshop user hours to create manually can be applied to any photo with a single button press.
Video LUTs (Look Up Tables) are color grading profiles for video footage that transform the flat, desaturated log footage that professional cameras record into finished, color-graded cinematic results. LUTs work in video editing software including Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and CapCut, applying professional color grades to video with the same efficiency that Lightroom presets bring to photo editing.

Getting the Most From Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions
Presets are starting points, not final edits. The most common mistake with Lightroom presets is treating them as complete edits rather than starting points. Every photo is different — different exposure, different white balance, different lighting conditions — and no preset applies perfectly to every image without adjustment. Apply the preset, then fine-tune exposure, highlights, shadows, and white balance for each specific image. This approach combines the efficiency of presets with the quality of custom editing.
Create your own variations. When you find a preset you love, save modified versions for specific shooting conditions — a brighter version for overcast days, a warmer version for golden hour, a slightly different white balance for indoor versus outdoor use. Building a small library of variations from your favourite presets is far more efficient than applying and heavily modifying the base preset every time.
For Photoshop actions: duplicate your layer before running. Always duplicate your base layer (Ctrl/Cmd+J) before running any Photoshop action. This preserves the original image and gives you the ability to adjust the action’s effect by reducing the duplicated layer’s opacity, or to start over without reopening the original file. It takes two seconds and prevents the frustration of permanently altered files.
For video LUTs: apply at the correct stage in your grade. LUTs work best when applied as a creative grade after any technical corrections — exposure correction, white balance adjustment, and noise reduction should happen before the LUT is applied. For log footage, apply a technical LUT first to convert log to standard color space, then apply your creative LUT on top. DaVinci Resolve’s node structure makes this workflow particularly clean.
Organize your preset library. As your preset collection grows, organization becomes essential. In Lightroom Classic, create preset folders organized by aesthetic (Moody, Bright, Film, Wedding, etc.) rather than by purchase source. In Lightroom Mobile, organize into albums. The goal is being able to browse presets by visual mood rather than remembering which collection a specific preset came from.
