Read this first

A starting point, not a one-click edit.

Every photo has different light, white balance and exposure. These presets give you the baseline of my look. From there you set your exposure, adjust white balance and dial the Amount slider until it fits your shot. That last 20% is what makes it yours.

Questions

Good to know

Which Lightroom versions work?

Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (desktop), with sync to Lightroom mobile. The files are standard .xmp presets.

Do they work on JPEGs?

Yes, but they're tuned for RAW files. On a JPEG, set white balance by eye after applying a look.

Will my photo look exactly like yours?

No preset can promise that. Your light, location and camera are different. The preset gets you to my baseline fast, and a few adjustments get you the rest of the way.

What are the AI mask tools?

Car Pop and Sky Recover use Lightroom's Select Subject and Select Sky. They're marked beta: if a mask doesn't fit your photo, open Masking and click Update.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes, on your own photos, personal or client. Please don't resell or share the preset files.
