Joyful Lightroom Import
Truth be told, I'm not a preset person, not really. In fact, this is the only preset I use on all of my images.
I don't believe in fad photography. I believe in long-lasting images that are timeless now and 100 years from now. I use this preset and then make changes to my images as I see fit (usually just adding contrast).
It's not meant to drastically change your photo, or add a mood to it. This preset is meant to:
- Brighten skin tones
- Sharpen edges
- Reduce noise
- Brighten shadows
- Correct lens distortion
- Enhance color
- Save highlight details
- and a few other things...
It's a no-brainer addition to your workflow.
