lightroom presets
Thanks for showing interest in my first preset. If you’re on this page, it’s because I gave you super-special-exclusive access to the R&D (Research and Development) group.
All I ask is that you tell me how it worked with your photos, send a screenshot of the before and after, and anything else that comes to mind. If you have any issues with the download, just reach out.
Disclaimer: This will not work on every photo, so feel free to tweak it to your desired outcome.

Moody Autumn Preset 1
This preset is called “MoodyAutum_YLW/ORNG_1” in case you’d like to name it.
Description:
Designed for photos with brown, orange, yellow and red tones. The blues will be desaturated but you can always bring the color out.
What photos do they work on?
Underexposed images that need a bump in the exposure and shadows. Yellow and Orange tones will be saturated and the greens desaturated to create a more overall warm feeling. The blue’s will also be desaturated. Center/foreground is sharpened.
Tips:
Image too bright? - drop the exposure, drop highlights, drop shadows, add contrast
Image still underexposed? - increase exposure, increase shadows
Image too orange? - lower orange saturation level to your desire
Image needs more blue? - Turn up the Blue and Aqua Saturation
