Editing Tips for Photographers

  1. Adjust Exposure + White Balance First: Before applying any preset, dial in exposure and white balance to ensure the preset applies cleanly.

  2. Use Presets in Sets: For galleries, stick to 1–2 presets from the same bundle to keep consistency.

  3. Tweak the Tone Curve for Drama: Slight adjustments to shadows/highlights can help you customize mood.

  4. Crop & Frame Before Editing: A strong composition helps the preset shine.

  5. Use Grain & Texture Intentionally: Want a film-inspired vibe? Add grain sparingly to your final edit.
