– Only work in perfect lighting and weather conditions
– Ignore color differences between camera makers
– Require significant tweaks and adjustments
– Lack intuitive names and organization
The solution is our patent-pending lighting condition-based approach to image processing. Whether you’re in hard light, on a multi-colored dance floor, or under fluorescent lights, you’ll get a consistent look and style.

Select the preset based on the lighting condition and let our engine do rest. It doesn’t get any easier to create a consistent, high quality, refined, and professional image, regardless of the style or type of photography. All edits below were edited in a single-click within Lightroom. Each pack of Adobe Lightroom Presets include a separate preset for the most common lighting conditions.

“This has made my workflow so much quicker. I almost feel like I must be doing something wrong. It’s way too quick. Saturday’s wedding is almost complete.”
“Being a colorblind photographer, color grading and getting great tones can prove challenging. SLR Lounge/VF Presets have provided me with a great base for images that even I could tell look great! Looking forward to trying out the new lighting condition based presets. “
“I jumped on the package yesterday to see just how good it was. I was totally blown away! Within 15 minutes I had the photos where I wanted them to be, and I spent less than 2 hours doing the retouching work, in lightroom, rather than photoshop. It has already made such a huge difference to my workflow.”
