Presets for Lightroom

Snapping a photo is only the beginning. Traditionally, editing of photos happened in the darkroom. Today, we use “digital darkrooms”, such as Lightroom, to adjust white balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, tint, and more. Once installed, use my presets to upgrade your photos in just one click!

Dim/yellow indoor lighting
Overexposed and high-contrast outdoor lighting
Dull, flat or washed out stains

Software requirements: Lightroom for desktop, Lightroom mobile app

Download presets to your desktop or Android phone
Un-zip the files
Open Lightroom editor and navigate to "Presets"
Click on "Presets", then more “…”, then "Import"

iPhone Users: Install the presets in Lightroom for desktop, and then sync to your iPhone app. You can also use a third-party app such as izip to unzip files directly on your phone.
Hack: If you don’t have Lightroom for your desktop, download a free trial, install the presets, and sync. Even after your trial expires on your desktop, you’ll still be able to use the presets on your phone.
