How to Get the Most Out of Our Lightroom Presets
Whether you’re using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom (Cloud/Standard), here’s the best and easiest way to make the most of your new presets:
Quick Start Guide:
#1 Pick the Preset
Browse through your presets and choose the one that best fits the color palette or mood you’re aiming for.
#2 Set Camera Profile to Adobe Color
This gives a strong, balanced base for the preset to work from. (You’ll find this in the Basic tab under “Profile.”)
#3 Click ‘Auto’ for Exposure Settings
Let Lightroom automatically balance the light for a cleaner base.
#4 Set White Balance to Auto
This adjusts the temperature and tint based on your photo’s lighting.
#5 Fine-Tune to Taste
After the base is applied, feel free to make small adjustments to exposure, contrast, or color to match your creative vision.
This Saves Hours of Guesswork
What used to take hours of trial-and-error now takes just 5 minutes. Our presets are designed to deliver fast, cinematic results with minimal effort.
