PHOTOSHOP lightroom FEATURES
Portrait photography can convey character through subtle changes to light and color. Explore how free Lightroom preset collections can help create the perfect mood for your portraits.
Portrait Lightroom presets apply specific, balanced levels of light, exposure, and color 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.
