123PRESETS Review

123Presets is a digital-only studio selling one-click Lightroom presets and video LUTs for both mobile and desktop. It is aimed at people who want a consistent look across a feed or a client gallery without learning colour grading from scratch — travel and lifestyle creators, wedding photographers, and anyone editing on a phone.

What 123Presets sells

The catalogue splits into three parts. Individual preset packs cover named aesthetics — Old Money, Golden Hour, Earth Tones, Autumn Film, Seychelles — each tuned to one mood rather than sold as a generic "all purpose" filter. Video LUTs cover the same ground for footage, including device-specific sets for DJI drones, GoPro and Canon G7X. A separate Signature Wedding line (Élégance, Auréum, Céleste) is priced well above the rest and pitched at consistent skin tones across a full shoot.

Pricing and what the discounts really mean

Most single packs show a $32 list price against a $12 sale price, and the video LUT sets follow the same pattern. The bundles are where the arithmetic changes: the Signature Bundle lists 800+ presets at $69 against a $1,200 reference price, and the All-In-One LUT bundle 750+ LUTs at $149. Treat the higher figure as a catalogue-value calculation rather than a price anyone pays — the sale price is effectively the standing price. Judged on the sale price alone, $12 for a themed pack is mid-market for this category, and the bundles are the genuine value if you want range.

What we like

• Packs are built around a specific look, so you are choosing an aesthetic rather than gambling on a generic filter.
• Mobile and desktop versions are included together, not sold as separate SKUs.
• Device-specific LUTs for drone and action-camera footage, which most preset shops skip entirely.
• Established packs carry substantial review counts — Earth Tones, Old Money and Golden Hour each sit in the hundreds.

What to keep in mind

• Newer and seasonal releases can show single-figure review counts, so the social proof is uneven across the catalogue.
• These are digital downloads. Check the store's own refund terms before buying — digital goods are commonly non-returnable once downloaded.
• Presets are a starting point, not a finish. Mixed lighting still needs manual correction afterwards.

Is 123Presets worth it?

Yes, if you edit often enough that consistency saves you real time, and you buy at the sale price. A single themed pack is a low-risk way to test whether the style suits your photos; if it does, the bundles are far better value per preset than buying packs one at a time. Occasional editors will get less out of it. Check the current code on this page before checking out — the discount stacks on the sale price, not the list price.
