Why Lightroom Preset?
What is Lightroom Preset?
Lightroom is a professional and easy-to-use photo editing app/software developed by Adobe. It allows powerful photo refinements to finesse the details with selective adjustment options. “Preset” is a function that enables users to save their photo editing adjustments as pre-defined effects and apply to other photos. Using presets simplifies your photo editing process and is a great convenience in keeping your social media feed consistent.
Lightroom Presets vs. Photo Filters
It is true that Lightroom presets are like a “pro” version of filters you can easily find in any photo editing mobile apps. So why do we still need LR presets?
​
-
High resolution : Lightroom is a renowned photo-editing app used by professional photographers around the world. It allows you to export JPEC with its original (100%) quality. Filter from photo editing app usually compress the quality of JPEC file. As LR presets are pre-defined adjustments rather than placing an additional “layer” on your picture, they do not compromise your photo resolution.
​
-
Unique : Each photographer or designer has their own style and preference in photo editing. Therefore, presets created by different photographers/designers/studios can hardly be identical. It means using LR presets can enhance the uniqueness of your photos and make your feed stand out from others’.
​
-
Life-long ownership : As you download the DNG file containing a preset, you can export it to your Lightroom app/software of your phone, tablet or laptop. Or you can also link your Lightroom app/software to your Adobe account so you can access the preset once you log in your Adobe account.
