Welcome one and all to the new Lightroom preset compilation of the Presetting Lightroom group.
I have invested a number of days to ensure that this list of presets is accurate and reflects those presets previously offered in this group. In many cases, the original preset developer did not provide a before and after photo. Therefore, I used a number of my own photos that I thought best showed off the potential of each preset. I hope the authors of the presets agree.
In some cases links were changed to provide you with direct links back to the originator of the presets. These presets are all available FREE for downloading. Where presets link to "for sale" presets I will have indicated this. This list will be maintained as new presets are posted in this Flickr group. In order to facilitate the maintenance of this list, I would ask, that those offering presets (and want them to be included in this list) would kindly provide a before and after photo! (see the examples here and in my Photostream).
I have included all those presets that were posted in this group. Links to external sites offering Lightroom presets were not included in this post. I decided I would probably never finish this list if I tried to include all presets from outside sources mentioned in a post. My feeling was that this compilation should reflect those presets created by members of this group (or at the very least, those active on Flickr).
I would hope that in an effort to further promote this group that everyone will help in creating links back to this list on those forums and WEB sites that you frequent. Let's spread the word and build up the membership here so that we can all benefit from the lively discussions and additional presets that will ensue.
Anyway, there's a lot of interesting presets here. If you follow all the download links you will be rewarded with 180+ Lightroom presets. Enjoy.
Cheers, Markus

Albumen (1860's Civil War era) Preset by vidular - Site:
 
Albumen, a process used to create photos of this era seem to have very sharp clear centers, good dynamic range blurry/distorted edges often with vignetting. In looking at the old images from the American Civil War era it was learned that the surviving photos vary in coloration from yellow to gray, brown to almost purple in hue. Yellow seems to be most common so there is some freedom in crafting the coloration. Download here.
Awesome BW Preset by synaestheta - Site: synaestheta.deviantart.com
 
A preset to create a warm, brownish B&W look. Download here.
Beauty Collection by *CJean - Site: shockofdaylight.deviantart.com
 
Apart from the Dark Beauty preset (shown here), there are three additional presets available for download that should help you create that special mood. Download here.
Daido Moriyama Kit by ReallyJapan - Site: ReallyJapan’s Darkroom
 
There’s a solution to taking photos at night with high shutter speeds. It’s called the Daido Moriyama Kit by ReallyJapan. Daido Moriyama is a Japanese photographer who creates street photographs which are gritty, harsh, raw, very analogish, and punky in some way. His style is reproduced here with these four presets and work well with grainy, high iso shots. Download here.
Dramatic Sky (Advanced) Preset by profiphotos - Site: profiphotos.com
 
This preset allows you to render a two-toned sky! It also has built-in vignetting controls that far exceed the normal vignettes found in Lightroom. This is an advanced preset that really benefits from a little tweaking in Lightroom. That's why I've produced a companion video tutorial (9 minutes) that shows you how to use this preset. Download here.
Fuji Velvia X-Pro Presets by GrayImaging - Site: www.lifeindigitalfilm.com/
 
This preset is an emulation of Fuji Velvia that has been cross processed in C-41 chemistry. The roll I had processed had a very red/magenta cast to it, which is simulated in the preset via Split Toning. The curve is rather sharp, leading toward blown highlights and the colors slightly muted over properly processed Velvia. Download here.
GA Black & White Infrared by GAntico - Site: www.gantico.com/en/
 
Giovanni has produced a classic Infrared preset. Basically, it converts a colored photo in grey tones, with vivid brightness for tints coming from reds, yellows and greens, while tones coming from blues are strongly darkened. It pushes grain, contrast and shadows. On his blog he even compares it against other similar presets. Worth a read if you're into Infrared photography. Download here.
GA XPro Green Preset by GAntico - Site: www.gantico.com/en/2008/04/lightroom-creative-development/
This preset can be used as a starting point for a cross-processing (or Xpro) effect. Download here.

Green n White by Amit (Sydney) - Site: Lightly Toasted

Muted Tone Sub-Pop Preset by Jaeming - Site: seabubble.com
From Wikipedia:
"Bleach bypass...is an optical effect which entails either the partial or complete skipping of the bleaching function during the processing of a film. By doing this, the silver is retained in the image along with the color dyes...The images usually would have reduced saturation and latitude, along with increased contrast and graininess." Download here.
