Yesterday we posted our growing list of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom presets and today we thought we would offer the same for our Apple Aperture users. Personally speaking I use both Lightroom and Aperture for different things as both are excellent applications, actually I my perfect application would be a mix of both……
Developer presets is a reasonably new concept in Lightroom being introduced in version 3 so the list is still growing. If you are knew to Aperture then check out our guide on how to install presets in Aperture.
One final tip, if you use Aperture and post your photos to flickr then check out my good friend Fraser Speir’s brilliant Flickr Export plugin.

I am sure we have missed some great sources of free Aperture Presets. If you know of any good sites then why not share them with the community via the comments.
