How to Install Desktop Lightroom Presets
Thank you for using our presets! We spent an insane amount of time creating these to help you create some amazing content.
Since each photo is unique you may need to tweak the presets slightly to get the exact look and feel you’re going for. If you have any questions shoot us an Email.
We hope you will share whatever you create with us! Use #presetsbycoreyandcait so we can see!
Quick Side Note
Most presets will need some small adjustments since each photo is different. Play around with the following on your preset to get the BEST look!
- Exposure
- Contrast
- Temperature
- Tint
If the colors look a bit off or strange, just change the White Balance to auto. You can also adjust the temperature and tint as mentioned above.
