Short answer: For Ricoh GR III, the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your .DNG 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.
The Ricoh GR III and GR IIIx are pocket street cameras with a cult following, and the workflow that goes with them is fast: snap focus, shoot all day, edit in batches. The DNG files are sharp and honest, with the flat, slightly cool base you’d expect from a compact.
Why presets help
A preset fits that workflow perfectly — apply it to a whole day’s take at once and every frame shares the same street signature. High contrast, deep blacks and consistent tone, without editing 200 photos one at a time.
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
- ASPHALT — dark, moody city grade — the classic GR street look
- COLD START — cinematic teal & orange for travel and daylight street
- NEON MILE — clean neon-night grade for after-dark walks
How to install
Import your Ricoh .DNG files into Lightroom, apply the .xmp preset to the first frame, then sync it across the batch. On mobile, use the .dng in the free Lightroom Mobile app.
FAQ
Do these presets work with Ricoh GR III RAW files (.DNG)?
Yes. Import your .DNG 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.
