The Tried & True Preset Collection was designed for two different approaches to editing. The first is pre-made looks. These presets are as close to one click actions as possible. They should get you 90% of the way there, then you can fine-tune a few of the sliders and you’re good to go. The second is what I call freestyle presets. These are simply some micro adjustment presets that you can use to build your own look and your own presets.
I wanted to create an extremely useful and versatile Lightroom Pack that could be used for any type of photography session. These were tested using Sony, Nikon, Canon, FujiFilm and Adobe standard color camera profiles. These were made to work best in Adobe Lightroom Classic Version 10.1 or higher with camera raw 13.1 or higher. They will still work in Adobe Lightroom CC and Lightroom Mobile, but results may vary.
What’s included:
50+ PRE-MADE LOOKS (PRESETS)
103 FREESTYLE PRESETS
DESIGNED for WEDDINGS, PORTRAITS, LANDSCAPE, COMMERCIAL, URBAN/STREET, TRAVEL
How to Install:
1. Unzip the File “Tried & True Preset | Full Collection” and store the folder safely on your hard drive.
2. Update Adobe Lightroom. Make sure you’re running 10.1 or higher. (I personally use CC Classic)
3. To install, head to the presets sidebar in the develop tab and click the “+” icon.
4. Choose import and find the “Tried & True Preset | Full Collection” folder your presets downloaded to.
5. You’ll need to import each folder separately. To do so, open each folder and select all the .XMP files before clicking import.
6. Start Editing & Have Fun!
Thank you again for your support! It really means so much to me!
VERY IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT download these on your phone. Download them on your laptop or desktop computer FIRST. Once installed in Lightroom CC; they can then be used on mobile after. Make sure you’re running the latest version of Lightroom. You will receive a zipped folder containing .XMP files that can only be used in the latest version of Lightroom.
