Lightroom Presets

Presets

Make picture wide changes in seconds.

How

  • How to import? Watch this or read this.
  • Watch Matt Kloskowski’s video explaining how to build in desired brush change into a Preset.

Why

  • You don’t want to actually learn how LR works.
  • You know how Lr works and just want to save time.
