Complete Collection (Desktop)

Frequently asked questions

• What’s the difference between Mobile and Desktop presets?

  Mobile and Desktop Presets are for editing on either the Lightroom Mobile App (phone or iPad) or Lightroom for Desktop (laptop/computer). Mobile Presets can use the Adobe Lightroom app for free, while Desktop Presets require an Adobe Lightroom subscription.

  If you find that you are more often than not shooting and editing on your phone, my Mobile Preset Collections are the way to go!

  If you’re shooting on a DSLR/mirrorless camera in RAW, or you use your photos for professional reasons, or you print your photography, I’d recommend my Desktop Preset collections.

  Personally, I use both versions constantly for all types of photo editing!

  Even though I shoot on a mirrorless camera in RAW, I often edit my phone photos on my phone or will send photos from my computer to my phone to edit on the go. If you tend to shoot or edit on your phone, or even an iPad, go for a Mobile Preset pack!

• How to Desktop Presets work?

  Please remember that Desktop Presets will look different on every image. Consider the lighting, colors, subjects, and settings of the sample image featured when deciding which image to apply the preset to. You will likely need to make some adjustments after the preset is applied to achieve your desired effect. You can explore all my Lightroom Editing Tips here!

• Do you have any Lightroom editing tips?

  I shoot in RAW on a mirrorless camera, typically a little underexposed and where the image tends to fall a little flat. A flat or neutral picture style will give you an image with the least contrast, maintaining better highlight and shadow detail. Also, shooting in RAW allows you a lot more wiggle room in post-processing to enhance color and adjust the lighting.

• What’s the purpose of using a Preset?

  Using presets can spark your creativity, inspire your edits, and help you understand HOW different elements like luminance, hue, saturation, and more, affect your images. They make the editing process more intuitive and less intimidating.

• Are Desktop Presets the same as photo filters?

  Not exactly. A Lightroom Preset is essentially a shortcut to apply editing adjustments in Adobe Lightroom—like copy + paste for photo-editing settings! In other words, I can save the exact adjustments I make on a photo (from brightness to color to contrast) and save it as a “preset” to use on other images.

  Remember there is no ‘one size fits all’ preset. Each pack includes multiple presets so you have plenty of options to choose from for any type of photo.

• Can I use Desktop Presets on Mobile?

  These Desktop Presets are not compatible with the Lightroom mobile app, and cannot be downloaded to mobile devices. Check out my Mobile Preset Collections here!
