Sunny City: Free Cityscape Lightroom Preset

How to Use Free Lightroom Preset

If you need help with the free Lightroom presets installation, please check my dedicated tutorial here: How to Install Lightroom Presets

My free Lightroom presets work with images in different formats (RAW, JPEG, PNG, TIFF…). But I highly recommend using a RAW format, which offers the most flexibility and produces the highest quality.

If you need RAW images to practice Lightroom preset based editing, please visit my free library of RAW images. Fee free to download and use them for practice: Free RAW Photos for Editing

I used the cityscape image (RAW format) I took a long time ago in Moscow.

Let me show you how I use preset based editing. I call it Lightroom Rapid Editing.

First, I applied the Sunny City preset.

The original RAW photo was underexposed by at least 1/2 stops and I knew well in advance that I would need the help of TOOLKIT presets to fix it.

The TOOLKIT is the collection of Adjustment Presets. The presets allow fine-tuning of a photo without altering the style and Lightroom editing tools.

You can download the TOOLKIT Adjustment Presets, which is part of my free Travel Preset Collection, here: Free Travel Preset Collection

Next, I used the TOOLKIT.

I applied the following adjustments:

10. Open Shadows ++++
21. Vibrance ++
32. Vignetting ++
34. Sky Neutral 0
45. Midtone Contrast ++++

The Editing Formula: Sunny City (10, 21, 32, 34, 45)

And here is the final result:
