Lightroom Presets Before and After Photo Edit

I am sure you are familiar with the term Lightroom presets. Those little files loaded into your Lightroom will make editing photos so much easier and faster. The final effects are also most of the time jaw dropping. Here is why I highly recommend to use presets even if you are just a beginner and have little experience with Lightroom (or maybe especially in that case):

SAVE TIME WITH LIGHTROOM PRESETS

Time is so important these days so you don’t want to get stuck with endlessly photos from scratch. There are so many different ways and options to make changes in your photo that it might feel a bit overwhelming. Finding your style, making photos look consistent and fighting with those varying lighting conditions takes time and effort. And what about the case when you have thousands of photos from your trips to edit?

Lightroom presets would help you with all these issues. You can create and save yours presets or simply use those already tested by others. The process is fast and simple and the results are mind blowing. Also, you don’t have to start from scratch each time you would like to make an edit to another photo. Why don’t you try yourself?

BATCH EDITING

This cool feature would also help you save so much time and make editing multiple photos easier and simpler. It will help you maintain consistent and quality images.

CONSISTENCY

Every photo is different and it’s taken in different light condition. You try editing your photos the same way but you notice that the results might vary. Using presets will help you maintain consistency throughout the final look of your images.

CUSTOMIZABLE

Lightroom presets are super customizable. As mentioned above every photo is different because it was taken in different light condition. Don’t be surprised when applying the same preset to your photos you end up with slight differences between them. You can simply adjust it, for example, by changing exposure or highlights. These are going to be small changes that will make your photos look more aligned with your style.

SIMPLICITY

For unexperienced Lightroom user the editing software might be intimidating and it can take lots of time to fully understand all the features and master your skills. Why not use someone else’s experience and make things much easier? Another benefit of using presets is a great way to begin understanding and learning how the pros make their photos pop.

STAND OUT

Having your own presets would make your photos stand out from other photographers. You can create your original and specific style that would be characteristic for you and make you recognizable among other content creators.

MOBILE FRIENDLY

Presets can be used on a desktop and mobile devices. Lightroom mobile version is simpler and most popular among users who do not necessarily want to become professional photographers but just want their photos to level up. It takes a minute to upload and edit a photo on your phone using presets. Also, Lightroom mobile version is free unlike the desktop one. I still prefer the desktop version because it offers more features and gives me an advantage of a much bigger screen. Also, photography is my passion 😉
