Lightroom, LR Mobile,
Adobe Camera Raw Presets

I often use Lightroom presets to start my digital edits, and sometimes they will be a perfect solution with no edits needed. I've developed these over the past number of months and are used daily, so I am confident knowing they're great for many urban situations. When I'm out in nature, these presets also shine.

​

Below are brief descriptions of each preset. They have names that will help you predetermine a general look & feel as well. 

​

My advice is to use RAW image files. JPGs will work, but are not recommended when using these presets.

​

Included in each download will be DNG and XMP files. â€‹
