Lightroom on the web comes with built-in presets, but you can also create and share your own presets or find and add them from a community of photographers.
Select an image to open it in Detail view, and then select Presets .
In the Presets panel, select one of the following categories:
Recommended: Generates presets based on your photo using Adobe Sensei and adapts over time as the AI learns. Use the Category drop-down options like Subtle, Strong, B&W, Cool, Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, and HDR to filter by style and intensity.
- Premium: Provides curated presets updated with each Lightroom release, including:
- Adaptive: Applies intelligent adjustments for Portrait, Sky, Subject, Landscape, and Blur Background.
- Portraits: Enhances people's photos with options like Deep Skin, Medium Skin, Light Skin, Black & White, Edgy, and Group.
- Auto+: Applies a Retro style look with enhanced automatic adjustments and offers multiple variations.
- Seasons: Applies seasonal tones with presets like Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
- Style: Applies creative looks such as Black & White, Cinematic, Cinematic II, Film-Inspired, Futuristic, and Vintage.
- Subject: Applies themed looks to photos with groups like Concerts, Food, Landscape, Lifestyle, Travel, Travel II, and Urban Architecture.
- Video: Applies Creative presets optimized specifically for video editing.
Yours: Displays presets you created or saved for quick access.
