Compared to VSCO & Mastin products, LXC presets set is something completely new. However, this fact did not interfere it to gain wide popularity around the world in the last few years.
I tested all of them in order to understand what their main features are and how they differ from competitors. One of the main characteristics is the Facebook Tribe Archipelago community for sharing useful information, tips, and feedback among users.
LXC presets settings have a limited number of options like Mastin Labs products do. However, they differ from Mastin Labs presets visually. Mastin Labs presets are incredibly subtle and can imitate a film gently and unobtrusively, and LXC presets are created for those who prefer brightness and rich shades.
Clipped highlights and blacks help get some retro looks, with a predominance of soothing tints. Tribe Archipelago products are leaders among hipsters and creative people.
