Aperture 3 presets

[snerkler]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend any good free (non-torrent) aperture presets to get different looks to my photos please? Ideally I'd like to find my own look, but if I can use a few presets and look at what settings have changed it might enable me to understand how to develop my own look.

Ideally I'd like a range of different looks, but one that I'd really like is one that would simulate a 'gritty' movie.

TIA

Here's one place i found some: http://presetpond.com/presets/aperture/driftwood/

another here: http://terrychay.com/article/aperture-3-presets-2.shtml

found some via Flickr groups too.

they aren't as easy to find as Lightroom presets. but search google for some.

I was also going to recommend presetpond but, while I know you're looking for free (and presets), you may want to also check out DxO Film Pack ($50 for "essential" version, $100 for "expert"). I love it as an aperture plugin.

Thanks very much for the links. The presetpond isn't working at the mo but will check again later.

Seim Effects has samplers of their Lightflow and Colorflow presets.
