I recently came across one preset system, however, that–as cliche as it may sound–has changed my editing workflow. Well, either way, there’s a preset (or two or a thousand) for that. Maybe you shoot natural light with a bright and airy style, or perhaps you’re a flash guru and prefer a dramatic, editorial look. There’s no shortage of people and companies selling presets, of course, and you can pretty much find a preset or a collection of presets out there to suit your specific visual interests. One of the most popular tools used for editing pictures these days is presets, whether used in Lightroom, Capture One, or some other photo editing software. Now, to be clear, great photos depend on the clever use of lighting, posing, expressions, and the use of various compositional elements (rule of thirds, leading lines, depth of field, and so on), but editing, it must be said, can truly make or break an image. I then moved on to the basic tools in Apple’s iPhoto app before finally graduating to Lightroom. For me, it started with adding filters to my pictures in photo apps like Snapseed or Hipstamatic. It’s not too far into our journey as photographers that we figure out the power of editing to make our so-so images look great (or at least more interesting, especially early on in our journey).
