Do you dream of transforming your photos with just one click? If you are looking to save time or if you want a specific look without learning a ton of editing, finding the best Lightroom presets will change your life.Think of presets like Instagram filters that you can use on your photography in Lightroom. Taking the perfect shot is only half the battle and quality editing has become very important to creating images that stand out.

Cinematic Collection Lightroom Preset Pack | Cinematic Lightroom Presets

Lightroom is a quick and easy photo editing tool that millions use to easily edit their photos. It allows you to organize and edit your photos and is set up in a user-friendly way. Lightroom presets allow you to easily play with different looks, color tones, and overall feel on one image or many images at once. They allow you to take an ordinary photo and make it extraordinary with one simple click.

The downside to many Lightroom presets out there? They do not work for a variety of photos and may only work on one style of image in one specific environment. When searching for the best Lightroom presets, you want to be sure that they can be applied to more than just one photo to make sure you can use them more than once. We spent weeks testing these sixty photo presets on a wide variety of photos including cool and warm toned shots, JPG and RAW, landscape, portrait, urban, travel, and more to ensure you can use them over and over.

    I really like this article. I am not a photographer so anything I can do myself to make my pictures look a little better is a winner in my eyes. Thanks for sharing this and sharing the two pictures of each to compare, the difference is amazing

    I’ve never really played much with the Lightroom presets, so good to see examples of them in use to understand what they look like.

    Thanks for sharing these! I adore your photography, so it’s cool to get a behind the scenes look at how you achieve the effects. I don’t use Lightroom, so will have to look into jumping on board. Love the idea of presets 🙂

    I have never used Lightroom but these presets look great. They make such a difference to photos and really make them stand out. I’m a little too much of a control freak though, and like the control of editing photos individually. If I could change my mindset, Presets would save me a huge amount of time!
