Best Presets & LUTs for GoPro (Hero) in 2026
Short answer: For GoPro, the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your .GPR files in one click and the whole shoot stays consistent. Each GradeColor pack includes .xmp for desktop Lightroom, a mobile .dng profile for the free Lightroom Mobile app and a matching .cube video LUT.
A GoPro captures the action, but its wide, flat, high-contrast look rarely feels finished straight off the card. Whether you shoot GPR RAW photos or Hero video, a grade is what turns raw action clips into something cinematic.
Why presets help
Our video .cube LUTs give GoPro footage a consistent, punchy color signature in your editor, and our presets do the same for GPR RAW stills: one look across every clip and frame.
Every GradeColor pack ships in three formats: mobile .dng profiles that run in the free Lightroom Mobile app, desktop .xmp presets for Lightroom & Camera Raw, .cube video LUTs for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut, so one look stays consistent across your whole feed.
Best GradeColor packs to try
- COLD START: cinematic teal & orange for action, travel and water
- ASPHALT: dark, moody grade for street and urban action
- DAKAR: warm adventure tones for trails, deserts and the outdoors
How to install
Video: load the .cube LUT into your editor’s Lookup/LUT slot (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) and apply it to your GoPro clips. Photos: import GPR RAW into Lightroom and apply the .xmp preset (or the mobile .dng in the free Lightroom Mobile app).
FAQ
Do these presets work with GoPro RAW files (.GPR)?
Yes. Import your .GPR files into Lightroom (Classic or CC), open Develop and apply the .xmp preset. It lands as an editable starting point, so exposure, white balance and strength stay fully adjustable per shot. The same look is also included as a mobile .dng profile and a .cube video LUT.
Do I need a paid Lightroom subscription?
No. Every pack includes mobile .dng profiles that install in the free Lightroom Mobile app on iPhone and Android, with no subscription and no computer needed. The .xmp presets are there for desktop Lightroom and Camera Raw if you already have them.
Will my photos and my video share the same color?
Yes. Each pack ships a matching .cube LUT alongside the presets, so the grade you apply in Lightroom is the same one you drop on the timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut. One signature across stills and footage.
