Lightroom Presets with Easy Adjustment
These Lightroom Presets were created by a pro photographer, so you can trust they’re designed to make your photos look amazing, no matter if you’re using a fancy camera or just your phone.
Using them is super easy! Whether you’re editing on your computer or your phone, you can get great results in just a few steps.
Here’s how it works:
- First, take a photo with any camera – DSLR, mirrorless, point-and-shoot, or even your smartphone.
- Next, open that photo in Lightroom.
- Then, add one of the presets to your photo with a single click.
Just a heads-up: presets won’t always look exactly the same on every photo. Things like lighting, color, or how the photo was taken can make a difference. If the photo’s too dark, too bright, or low quality, the preset might not work as well.
After you apply a preset, you might want to tweak a few things to get the perfect look. That’s totally normal! Just play with the sliders in Lightroom until it looks right.
Also, if there are people in your photo, a preset might slightly change their skin tone. No worries, just adjust the colors a bit until it looks good to you.
Presets are here to help you start strong, but a little fine-tuning goes a long way. Have fun editing!
Yes, these presets also work in Photoshop!
You’ll need Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) version 10.3 or higher (for both Windows & Mac).
How to install:
- Open your photo in Photoshop.
- Go to the top menu > Filter > Camera Raw Filter.
- On the right, click the menu next to “Basic,” then choose Load Settings.
- Select the .xmp file from your unzipped download and click Load.
- Hit OK to apply the preset.
Clean Edit Presets help you build the perfect base for your photo by adjusting one setting at a time – like white balance, exposure, or whites. Each preset tweaks just one thing, so it won’t mess with any other edits you’ve already made.
