Ready to transform your photos into compelling visual narratives? Our cinematic presets for Lightroom go far beyond simple filters. While many presets just adjust basic light and color, our movie inspired collection is designed to mimic the rich, moody, and dramatic aesthetics of classic cinema.
We carefully craft each preset to work with shadows, highlights, and skin tones, adding that signature depth and storytelling quality to your images.
Instead of a generic, flat look, you’ll get deep, nuanced colors and a powerful atmosphere that make your photos feel like they belong on the big screen. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, these presets give you the creative tools to achieve stunning results with a single click.
Achieving a professional, cinematic look is simpler than you think. Our presets are built for seamless integration with both the desktop and Lightroom Mobile versions, so you can edit anywhere.
Step 1: Apply the Preset. Start by applying your chosen preset from our collection. Don’t be afraid to experiment with a few different ones to find the style that best fits your photo’s mood.
Step 2: Adjust Exposure and White Balance. For the best results, make sure your photo’s exposure and white balance are correct before you apply the preset. You can fine-tune these settings after applying the preset to better suit your image.
Step 3: Refine with the Tone Curve. The tone curve is the secret to a true cinematic look. Use it to add a subtle "film fade" by lifting the black point, or to create contrast by adjusting the S-curve. Our presets already include a custom tone curve, but you can tweak it to match your personal style.
Step 4: Enhance with Color Grading. For a true movie aesthetic, pay attention to the colors in your scene. For instance, if you're working with a portrait, you might slightly desaturate the greens and blues to make the warm skin tones stand out. With cinematic presets for portraits, you’ll find that colors are already balanced beautifully to create a harmonious and emotive feel.
