What Is Adobe Lightroom?
Adobe Lightroom is an editing & data management software designed for photographers. Lightroom Class and Lightroom CC are well known for their ability for editing your photos. However, the power of Lightroom is being able to organize your images and creating a seamless editing workflow.
Our premium and free presets will help you instantly add Instagram filter-like effects, creative, and artistic styles to your images.
All it takes is one click, and the effect is instantly applied.
You then have the power to adjust the edits for your personal preference. Our presets guide will help you get the most from them and will show you how to use for the best results.
Oh, and you can join our private Facebook group to join 4,957 other creative artists to share, learn, and network!
What Are Lightroom Presets?
A Lightroom preset is a file that contains pre-saved editing information. These editing presets are also known as "Develop Presets". I bring this up because there are at least 10 or more "presets" in LR... depending on the version you're using.
The saved photo editing data can then be applied to your photos with one click. After applying and tweaking the edit, you can then save that editing information as a new preset! The possibilities are endless.
Fulfilling your creative vision has never been easier with our Lightroom presets. These are the best presets anywhere... if used as they were intended.
What's the Difference Between Lightroom Classic &
Lightroom CC?
Both give you the power to edit your photos based on your creative vision. However, "classic" also gives you the ability to organize and share your photos that are not provided in CC.
LR classic was designed for those that prefer to work on a desktop. LR CC was created for artists that want a quick way to edit while on the go... mobile use.
When it comes to Lightroom presets, both versions utilize "develop presets." All the Lightroom presets on this page can be used in both versions. Although brush adjustment presets, tend to be geared to the desktop version (and can be stored in a presets folder).
To find out more, check out my "Lightroom vs. Lightroom Classic" comparison guide. It lists the strengths and weaknesses of both. Once you're done with the article, you'll know which one is best for you. Either way, most of our Lightroom presets will work with both versions.
A bundle of over 1,152 free presets that I put together just for you! These presets have been created by other artists and are available to download too.
But, depending on the photographer you may or may not have to provide your email. I have no control over this! To download these free Lightroom presets click on the image above.
