Watch: install in under a minute

Set exposure and white balance first. The samples above were graded on photos that were dark, flat or hazy, so some presets lift or pull exposure on purpose. Light and color differ on every shot, so treat each preset as the start of your edit.

Questions

What do I get?

One .xmp preset file per grade, which is the format Lightroom reads. The bundle includes all six.

Which apps do they work in?

Lightroom on mobile, Lightroom desktop and Lightroom Classic, plus Adobe Camera Raw. They do not import into Capture One or apps that cannot read Lightroom .xmp presets.

Will my photo look exactly like the samples?

It will move the same way, but not match. The samples are single frames with their own light, so expect to adjust exposure and white balance. Shooting RAW gives the preset more room than JPEG.

Do the before photos have anything applied?

No. The left side of every slider is the original photo, and the right side is the same photo with only that preset's grade.
