Nik Custom Preset Exchange, Anyone?

[BackdoorArts]

I'm not a big fan of canned filters, but I've developed patterns in my use of the Nik tools and have started refining some presets I've stored, particularly in Color Efex Pro, as starting points for certain types of shots. Now, with Analog Efex Pro I can see that it is going to be really handy to store tweaked original presets as you start adding and removing filter types from the canned starting points they give you.

So I was wondering, do any of you store a lot of custom presets, and if so, would you be interested in sharing them? Post a before and after example along with a linked copy of the preset file (it looks like you'd have to zip it to be able to link it here).

I have nothing to share immediately, but would be happy to start as there are some presets I use a lot and I could come up with something fairly quickly.

Jake, I think it is a great idea.... I have little to none to share, though maybe I could as I gained more experience. I think the idea is an obvious PLUS...

I have a few black and white pre-sets in Lightroom. I created a few, and downloaded a few, but found that I don't use them too much, or use them and then tweak them a little bit. I have a Vignette one that I use a bunch, but the color ones are hard, unless the picture is made for it. Just my opinion.
