This preset collection includes four Lightroom presets developed over several years of Daniel’s work in travel and adventure photography. The pack is designed to create a clean, recognizable look that can be easily adjusted. Each preset includes additional adjustment options, allowing quick changes to blacks, fade and saturation. The package also comes with a video tutorial where Daniel explains his workflow and demonstrates example edits.

Dan 01 – General
A versatile preset with a soft faded look, defined contrast and balanced warm and cool tones. It works especially well for sunrise, sunset, foggy scenes and blue hour photography, but can also be adapted for portraits.

Dan 02 – High Contrast
Created for images that require stronger contrast and richer colors. It enhances depth and vibrancy while maintaining a natural balance between warm and cool tones. Suitable for midday shots and portraits with minor adjustments.

Dan 03 – Forest
Developed for photos dominated by green tones. It helps control and refine greens in landscape scenes, particularly forest environments, while remaining usable for portraits.

Dan 04 – Portrait
A softer preset designed to preserve natural skin tones. It can also be applied to landscapes to achieve a subtle faded effect without heavy contrast.

The presets are compatible with Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom Mobile. All sales are final.
