Short answer: For Canon EOS R, the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your .CR3 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.
Canon is famous for warm, flattering color science and beautiful skin straight out of camera. The goal on Canon EOS R files usually isn’t to fix color — it’s to add a cinematic, editorial mood while keeping that signature Canon warmth intact.
Why presets help
A preset lets you push contrast, tone and grade in a controlled way without losing what makes Canon look good. One tap, consistent across the shoot, fully adjustable.
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 — so one look stays consistent across your whole feed.
Best GradeColor packs to try
- VALET — enhances Canon’s warm glow — perfect for portraits and lifestyle
- COLD START — cinematic teal & orange for travel and street
- SANDSTORM — dramatic burnt-orange grade for bold, editorial frames
How to install
Import your Canon .CR3 files into Lightroom, open Develop and apply the .xmp preset. For phone edits use the mobile .dng in the free Lightroom Mobile app.
FAQ
Do these presets work with Canon EOS R RAW files (.CR3)?
Yes. Import your .CR3 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 — no subscription and no computer needed. The .xmp presets are there for desktop Lightroom and Camera Raw if you already have them.
Is there a free pack to try first?
Yes. The free starter pack has 13 files — five .xmp presets, five mobile .dng profiles and two .cube video LUTs, with no card required — try our color on your own files before buying anything.
