What are Lightroom portrait presets?
Portrait Lightroom presets apply specific, balanced levels of light, exposure and colour to your photo intended to perfectly capture a subject’s skin tone while amplifying things like their mood and expression. They can help to streamline your photo editing workflow by setting a mood for your picture with one click and they come equipped with sliders so you can adjust the intensity of the effect based on your image’s needs.
Pastel
Often used for outdoor portraits, weddings and newborn photography, pastel presets give your subjects a soft glow for a light, airy feel.
Black and white
This preset lends a dignified, classy tone to any type of portrait by creating a monochrome look with high contrast between light and dark.ac
Cinematic
Cinematic presets apply a rich, lightened colour palette to your portrait to give it the distinctive film look of a dramatic film.
Matte
Matte presets neutralise shadows and create a smooth, muted appearance reminiscent of a photograph taken on a retro camera.
