My Lightroom Presets

After all the time i spent editing in Lightroom, i figured i could save some time by making my own presets. I have come up with some presets i really like, and use all the time. You can save a lot of time by using them, especially when you have lots of photos to process. So i have decided to share all of my homemade presets with you.

Be advised that these presets aren't some kind of auto exposure presets, so some photos will be blown out because of the high key effect in some of the presets. I recommend that you play around in Lightroom and test the presets on a couple of photos to find out how they look.

To download the presets click here. Keep on reading for a description of every preset.

PS. To install the presets just double click them or drag them into Lightroom.

Green Tint: Probably my favorite preset. I use it all the time, for all kinds of photos. It gives you the high key look, but at the same time it has a green tint which i really like.


Red Tint: Basically the same as green tint, but tinted towards red instead of green. It is also a bit brighter than the one above.


Red Pop: I created this preset while processing the photos from a job i did. I wanted the reds to stand out from the rest of the colors, and give you the nice 3D look.


Flashy: Gives you the saturated and contrasty look you want. Makes the subject pop out of the image.


Pop Pop Pop: More of the good stuff. The "Flashy" preset on steroids. Even better!!


I'm Cold: Gives you the cold, blue look without looking fake.


Subtle High key: The natural high key look. Nothing fancy, but works fine for everything. A bit brighter than the others, so this one is not recommended for photos that are bright enough before editing.

I hope you'll enjoy the presets, and if you want you can drop a comment here, or in the guestbook.

Have fun.

-Mathias
