Mastin Labs Reviews

I've been using Mastin Labs presets, mostly Fuji, Portra Pushed and Delta in almost all of my shots for the past 4 years, they don't get old. The look is classic, with beautiful skin tones. These presets are the most professional ones I've ever used.

I don’t think I’ve tried any other preset that is so nearly completely just by simply applying it! I can make lots of different presets work, but usually after a few personal-taste tweaks across the board before editing. I can’t believe how the Natura leaves me with almost no extra work besides exposure and some tint and temps adjustments! I thought I had found my new love in the Gold200 (which is also amazing!) But I kinda think Natura is definitely my go-to preset now! I’m a stickler for natural looking skin tones (the orange and dark look is not for me!) and Natura delivers that effortlessly!

I recently purchased the Light & Airy preset pack from Mastin Labs. I appreciate getting not only the color presets (which by themselves are worth the pack price) but also presets for tone control and light intensity. Nice to have everything needed in one place so there is no jumping in and out of ACR to get to the edit sections. I'm not a big fan of presets, but Mastin is changing that.

I have tried many “film look” preset packs in the past and nothing ever consistently worked. My photography was getting to the point where things seemed stale and just going through the motions. I have purchased four packs for Capture One Pro, and all have honestly rekindled my love of photography and editing again!

Of all the presets I have tried over the years, Mastin´s are the ones I always get back to. So much that i just erased all the others, and only kept a few i have made myself in addition to the mastin packs. I found it easier and moore efficient. I love how the different presets works for different looks, so i had to have them all, and use them all the time.

I have been using Mastin Labs preset some time now, and I think they are really great and easy to use. I also have RNI which is great too, but I'm using mostly Mastin Labs, they have created some film-like realistic preset, with some ekstra tools, which is great.
Until recently, I was missing something for concert photo, but as of Night&Day preset pack, Cinestill 800T, is my new goto for concert
Support and Kirk's edit of user photo's is excellent !

I have been using Mastin Labs Styles (Capture One) for several years now. I own almost all of them and switch between depending on my subject. All of the packs produce terrific looking results. I sometimes need to do some tweaks to get the colors exactly the way I like especially the skin tones. The recently released Natura 1600 is hands down the easiest pack yet in my opinion. I purchased about two weeks ago and have done 6 editing sessions so far. It is truly the simple 3 step process for fantastic looking photos. It has quickly become my favorite pack that I own. I most cases, I haven't had to make any tweaks which has greatly reduced editing time. Buy it, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommended!

I've tried a lot of presets over the years but its good to know I've found the ones to stick with; no more bouncing around. Mastin Labs has created a film-like realistic formula that makes what you want to create, come to life. Thanks for digging deep and caring a whole lot!

I have bought a ton of styles for Capture One within the last few years - third party styles as well as the ones from Capture One. Mastin Labs beats them all! They have a well thought out, easy workflow that allows to fine-tune the already excellent looks. In addition there are a ton of tutorials on their site and on youtube, which help to get the most out of their products.
I like the Porta styles the most, because I am very fond of the dark and moody look. The every day pack features an Fujifilm Acros simulation, which can easily keep up with the film simulations built into the Fujifilm cameras.
If you are looking for premium looks, great colours, and an easy process, look no further. Go to Mastin Labs and have a look at their styles. Highly recommended!

When I first opened my wedding photography business almost ten years ago I was looking for a Preset that was user friendly and gave a timeless, romantic and beautiful look to my photography. I have been using Mastin Labs since.... Almost ten years Fuji 400 H has been my studios look! If I need a little tone change I'll use Portra 160 for the boho bride or when dark and moody became popular the pushed packs give me the needed contrast and tones to slightly change my work to meet the trends without changing what makes my signature look. Each pack works great with my workflow and changing the tones of my work without the integrity of the brand has been amazing. I fell in love with Ilford.... and have used for black and whites for almost ten years! When I was building the Cinema side of the business my biggest worry was finding the look that went with the photography. Mastin Labs Lut's have been a godsend! Their 400 H lut works amazing with our Sony gear and drone! Completely matching my Canon photographs. Our wedding films and photography collections now have the cohesive look and style that has been the Rising Lotus signature for years. Now here is the most important part....... wedding photographs I took 8 years ago... still have the timeless, beautiful look without looking dated! I have literally built my brand, my business with these presets and luts. Highly recommend! Perfectly engineered presets and luts to provide a cohesive look and style. VERY grateful!

I use a Fuji GFX 100s and have tried many black and white presets, many of which were OK. I purchased the Ilford presets because there something about a black and white photo that cannot be achieved with color.
The Ilford film emulations are incredible. My favorite is Delta 3200 with its contrast and grain that take the images to another level.
Highly recommended for B and W shooters.

I photograph weddings with Canon equipment and was looking for a light and airy feel to my images with those particular greens you get with Fuji film. I tried a number of other presets but they were a disappointment so after doing a lot of research I was reading a lot of good reviews about the Mastin Lab presets. I opted for the Fuji Original Lightroom pack and am delighted with the results. You get a full tutorial on how to use them with practise files and the personal service and the quality is outstanding. Don't be fooled thinking there are only 3 or 4 presets in a pack as they are all you need because they do what they say plus you can adjust further as desired. I have recouped my money many times over in saved time and frustration with these. Thanks, Mastin Labs

Never had such a great experience using purchased presets. All purchased preset packs in the past were really bad quality but MastinLabs preset work as advertised. Great quality and 3-step workflow work really well! MastinLabs tutorial videos about how to use the presets and which preset works well in which scenario is also extremely helpful, learning a lot from those videos. Never got this type of support from any other seller. Going to buy more preset packs from MastinLabs.

Not worth it. These presets aren't "premium". They're the same heavy handed stuff you can buy cheaply from other sellers or find online for free. In comparing the presets' XML to those from C1, you can see that C1 took much more care in their color and curve adjustments than Mastin, while also giving you many more presets for a similar price.

I bought lightroom preset for mobile. They didn’t mention you need lightroom on your computer to use it !!! Of course they change the description after I contacted them, but they didn’t refund me.
I can’t use the presets and I am really disappointed. It is not worth it !
I was hoping for a goodwill gesture or a solution but they absolutely don’t care.
Worst experience of buying things online by far.
