How to Use Free Lightroom Preset

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.

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

First, I applied the Dark and Moody preset.

In general, I liked what I saw, but since the original photo was slightly overexposed, the result was too bright, and I needed 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.

32. Vignetting ++
44. Midtone Contrast +++

The Editing Formula: Dark & Moody (9, 32, 44)

And here is the final result:
