So, my friendly, but serious, advice is to knuckle down and get really familiar with the Develop module, and, from there, develop your own style of image-making rather rather than trying to use the artistic styles of others. Now, youll see a new window with labels for every Lightroom adjustment. In the Develop module, click the + button on the Presets panel and choose Create Preset. Click the + button, then choose Create Preset on the Presets panel. Julieanne Kost is an acknowledged expert (in fact much more than that - she is also an artistic genius) in post-processing digital images but surely it is obvious that those presets you tried suit her photographic technique and aesthetic style rather than being universally applicable to all-comers. After you apply adjustments to an image, its time to save your Lightroom preset. I have never used a preset that alters tones or colour.

I do use presets that alter sharpening and noise reduction based on ISO and specific lenses. There is just no substitute for developing your own skills.ĭepending on how you shoot it may be possible for you to develop your own presets that complement your shooting but almost any preset that alters colour or tone will need fine-tuning for individual images.

I know many people offer free presets (good for them) but, frankly, those who sell presets (particularly those who make extravagant promises about the results) are, in my book anyway, only one step away from snake-oil salesmen. So, the "best" preset may be hopelessly inappropriate for your images. That’s why I could not help but share some of my top tips for (1) taking a great photo with your phone and (2) quickly customizing my preset to make it your own. The edits they apply are not proportional to the image (either tones or hues) but absolute. Presets are a great starting point, but a few simple tweaks can make all the difference in customizing your preset for your unique photo & your unique style. I got to say this: Presets are not really a magic bullet.
