pretty much get how the app works at this point, just need some actual good LUTs and settings from people who know what they're doing.

what LUT packs are you all using? free ones that are actually worth it or should I just pay for a proper pack from the start?

also curious what your capture settings look like day to day, exposure comp, ProRAW or not, stuff like that.

if anyone's got a simple workflow they don't mind sharing (shoot with X settings, apply Y LUT, tweak Z after) that would honestly save me so much trial and error.

trying to get that punchy natural look without spending an hour editing every single shot. seen some really good stuff on here so any tips or "wish I knew this earlier" advice is welcome, thanks 🙏

small shop here, ship from PL to HU. one of my first orders and DPD turned it into a full clown show. tell me if this is normal or if im cursed

- generated a few labels bc i wasnt sure how the warehouse would pack it. they packed it as ONE parcel, correct. but the 2 extra labels just stayed in the system as ghost parcels. nobody flagged it.
- parcel goes out, then vanishes. no scans for a week.
- HU courier tells my customer he "cant deliver until the other 2 parcels arrive". they dont exist lol
- i email them, politely, just cancel the 2 dead labels and deliver the 1 real parcel sitting in your depot. answer: "depot didnt accept it, already sent back to sender, cant stop it." it was IN the depot. instead of a van you put it on a truck back to another country. bravo

so i eat the return, reorder, and throw in a free extra item to keep the customer happy after all that waiting. thats my money gone bc THEY couldnt deliver.

then the invoice for the reshipment shows up. ~4x the first one. same beds, same route. just says "forwarding services" twice, zero breakdown, no parcel numbers. i literally cant tell if theyre billing me for their own return screwup or double charging me.

i filed a complaint on the first invoice too (they billed 3 parcels when 1 shipped). still waiting on that. now theres a second messed up invoice on top.

so:

1. is this normal for DPD PL or did i draw the short straw
2. they refuse to itemize an invoice this big — whats the move, who actually escalates this
3. anyone had them return a parcel instead of delivering it, did you get the return cost back

not naming anyone, just trying to decide if i switch couriers before this happens again. cheers
