What post processing software has a good collection of presets included?

Question

Using any program (not just Photoshop or Lightroom, they are fine, but maybe others have the right solution for me) is it possible to have nice presets out of the box?

For example instagram has some presets, that quickly give an "artistic"/creative feeling to the picture without the need to loose big time in post processing, toning, color correction, etc.

• Is there any tool to do the same on a PC?
• If I decide to do it myself is there a way to save such presets in Photoshop?

Answer

Have you tried Picasa? It's free, with many new presets (and effects) are included in the latest version. Many effects can be applied with just one click.

Note, Picasa (just like Lightroom) does not modify the original file, so if you want to use files outside Picasa, you have to either force save or export pictures.
