Easy Preset System for Lightroom

The Easy Preset System (EPS) is a system for creating your own presets in a systematic and visual way. We have leveraged Lightroom’s ability to stack presets, and we designed a series of component presets and a workflow that allows you to easily compose your adjustments, targeting each aspect of your image separately in a step-by-step manner. This process does not require you to touch any of the sliders in the Develop module of Lightroom directly. You can compose the adjustments for an image quickly and easily and come up with a new preset.

If you have some knowledge about the different controls in Lightroom’s Develop module, you can customize and tweak any aspect of your new preset afterwards. Simply store your newly composed preset in order to use it for other images.

In addition to this, the EPS also comes with targeted adjustment presets that you can apply to certain areas of your images with the gradient filter, the radial filter and the adjustment brush tools in Lightroom.

All of this does not require any additional software or plugin. It is purely based on Lightroom’s powerful preset functionality that lets you stack different presets on top of each other.

As a bonus, we have also added 50+ full presets that take your images in different directions.

What You Will Learn in This Book

Chapter 1 gives you an introduction to the topic and an overview of the contents.

Chapter 2 covers the basics of creating, installing, applying, and managing Develop presets. I will show you how Develop presets are connected to other concepts, including snapshots and virtual copies. Use these concepts together to unleash the real power of presets.

Chapter 3 gives you valuable tips on how to create your own preset collections that you can share with other people. You will learn how to make your preset collection really valuable and useful.

Chapter 4 will introduce the concept of preset systems—a completely new way of using presets that will change the way you use Lightroom. Preset systems allow you to compose your image adjustments in a very fast and visual way. They add a new dimension to photo editing in Lightroom, and you will learn how they work and even how you can build your own preset system.

Chapter 5 is about local adjustments and their presets. These allow you to add targeted adjustments to selected areas of your images quickly. We will explore their unique features like stacking and scrubbing that will make your work much more effective.

Chapter 6 focuses on metadata presets. These presets allow you to automatically store information about your images, your subjects, your brand, and much more inside your photos.

Chapter 7 deals with watermark presets that let you add your logo or any text or image to your photos. This is a great way to protect your work from theft, and to associate your brand with your images.

Chapter 8 is about import presets. Every image you want to manage and process in Lightroom has to be imported first, and you can avoid a lot of extra work by choosing the right import options and applying them as presets.

Chapter 9 discusses export presets. Exporting an image is the very last step of your editing workflow. You export your images in specific formats over and over again. This is where export presets can really take over most of the work for you. You will learn how to define presets to reduce the export process to just three clicks.

In Chapter 10, I will discuss some advanced topics such as backing up your presets, sharing presets with other applications, and some caveats you need to be aware of. You will also learn about some very useful tools.
