How to use them

Start with the closest direction, then make it fit the photograph.

Presets are not supposed to replace correction. Set exposure and white balance first, pick a look, adjust its strength, then use HSL, curves, masks or layers only where the image actually needs them.

1

Correct first

Fix exposure and white balance so a look is not compensating for a technical mistake.

2

Choose a category

Portrait, cinematic, urban, film, nature, warm, cool and other groups make the library faster to scan.

3

Refine locally

Use masks, background tools and blending layers when a global look should not affect the entire frame.
