Presets: How To Adjust A Preset For You

Oh man so presets are the best when creating an overall vibe for an image. Preset is basically a fancy word for saying we have these adjustments that we have made and have put them in a one click process. You will still of course need to make slight adjustments, but not as many as you would if you were not using a preset. While most all presets will change the colors in an image I have provided tips on how to achieve the overall outlook of your image.

TIPS & TRICKS

  • Brighter - Adjust shadows up then adjust exposure up to brighten an image.

  • Darker - Adjust Shadows up then adjust exposure down to darken. Then try contrast.

  • Highlights - imagine highlights being the shiny part of your image. If those are too harsh fill free to bump down. (Like in a bright selfie)

  • Shadows - Shadows are just want they are called. You are literally adding light or darkness to your shadows. By bumping your shadows up it keeps your images light and airy.

  • Exposure - I personally adjust exposure after I have adjust the shadows for a little extra brightness if that is what is needed.
