DESCRIPTION

Fill your images full of energy with our bright and creamy Free Float Lightroom Preset Pack! Perfect looks for all of life’s adventures.

All ten warm the photo, raise Vibrance and lower Saturation, and most nudge Tint toward magenta, so they suit city breaks, beach trips and lifestyle portraits. After you apply one, pull Temperature back if white walls turn too yellow.

One zip holds the 10 presets as .xmp files, which work in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom on your computer and Lightroom on your phone, plus .dng versions for older releases of the mobile app, each in its own labeled folder, with 4 sample images to practice on and the PDF install guide.

Free Float Lightroom Presets · 10 Looks

Warm, Creamy Pastels for Travel and Lifestyle

Ten presets that warm the light, open the shadows and soften color for a bright, creamy feel. They work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop and mobile.

A Touch of Gold for Your Feed

The ten Free Float presets give a travel and lifestyle feed one warm, creamy mood. Across the grid, skin turns softer and rosier, whites go creamy, and blue skies and sea fade toward pale pastels, so every square feels connected. Nine of them also brighten exposure slightly, by up to a fifth of a stop.

Warmer Light in Every Preset

All ten raise the temperature and pull the highlights down hard while lifting the shadows, so bright sun and dark corners both settle into a soft, even range. Nine also shift the tint toward magenta, and eight lower contrast.

Softer Color, Gentle Glow

Each preset lowers overall saturation and adds vibrance, which mutes loud colors but keeps a gentle glow in warm tones like red, coral and gold. Every preset also lowers blue saturation, which helps skies and sea go pastel.

Best on: travel feeds, summer lifestyle shoots and friends outdoors.

Light Buff

Light Buff brightens this laughing portrait and softens its contrast. Her auburn hair turns a peachy copper, the deep red lips ease to a gentle coral, and the navy stripes shift to a softer violet blue. The white balance warms by 12 and the tint moves slightly toward magenta.

Reds Pushed Toward Orange

Red hue moves +58 toward orange, which is what turns red lipstick coral. Overall saturation drops by 30 while vibrance rises, so color stays soft without going gray. Greens, aquas and purples lose some saturation too.

Open Shadows, Warm Tint

Contrast drops by 39 as shadows and blacks lift and highlights come down, and the tone curve rolls off the brightest whites. An orange tint in the shadows warms hair and skin. Whites rise by 24 to keep the frame bright, and clarity eases off slightly for a softer finish.

Best on: laughing close-ups, red or auburn hair and bright portraits against a plain wall.

Homey Cream

Homey Cream gives this sunny bridge scene a relaxed, creamy finish. The deep blue sky pales to a soft powder blue, hard shadows on the walkway open up, and the red dress holds onto its color. Exposure rises by a fifth of a stop, and the white balance warms by 18.

Shadows Up, Highlights Down

Shadows rise by 53 and highlights drop by 62 while contrast falls by 36, so harsh midday light flattens into an even, easy look. Clarity rises a little to keep stone and cables crisp. Whites rise by 34 and blacks by 20.

Reds Kept, Blues Lightened

Overall saturation drops by 42, but reds get extra saturation and turn a little darker, so a red outfit stays the focus. Blues get much lighter, which turns a strong sky pastel. Yellows get much lighter too, and the tint leans toward magenta.

Best on: city travel shots, bold-colored outfits and sunny days with harsh light.

Soft N Rust

Soft N Rust floods this beach shot with light and soft pink tones. Her fiery orange hair turns a coral pink, and the sea and sky fade into pale, rosy pastels. Clarity and texture ease off slightly for a softer finish.

Lifted Blacks, Bright Whites

Blacks rise by 46 and shadows by 55 while whites go up and highlights drop by 61, so the frame stays bright with no deep shadows. Contrast eases and exposure gets a small boost. The tint moves slightly toward magenta.

A Warm, Pastel Wash

Temperature goes up by 19 and overall saturation drops by 33, which gives every color a soft, sun-washed look. Greens lose half their color, and blues, purples and magentas are muted too. Yellows and aquas also lose some saturation, and vibrance barely moves.

Best on: beach and summer shots, red or orange hair, and photos where you want a dreamy, pink-washed mood.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered

What’s included in the Free Float Lightroom Presets?

The Free Float Lightroom Presets include 10 presets: Spun Sugar, Light Buff, Apple Core, Manchester Tan, Homey Cream, Barely Amber, Tangerine Twist, Soft n Rust, Southern Belle and Soft Magenta. They come as .XMP presets for Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop and Lightroom on your phone, plus .DNG versions for older versions of the mobile app.

What kind of photos are the Free Float Lightroom Presets made for?

Travel and lifestyle photos, summer outdoor adventures, and weddings and special events. The looks are bright, warm and creamy: they lift dark shadows, remove harsh contrast and add amber and magenta hues for a calm but energetic, summery feel. They also treat skin with care, giving it a warm, soft look.

Which colors do the Free Float presets bring out?

They reduce greens and blues while enhancing the reds, magentas and golds in your images, with tones that run from tangerine to honey and amber. If you love rose gold, these are the presets for you. Tangerine Twist is the featured look on this page.

Are Lightroom Presets included in my PHLEARN PRO subscription?

Which version of Lightroom do I need?

The .XMP presets work in Lightroom Classic 7.3 and newer, in Lightroom on your computer and in Lightroom on your phone. For older versions of the mobile app, use the .DNG files in the download. We recommend the latest version.

How do I install Lightroom Presets?

In Lightroom Classic, open the Develop module, click the + in the Presets panel, choose Import Presets and select the .XMP files. The PDF install guide in your download covers Lightroom on your computer and your phone too, and every method is on our Lightroom Presets install guide.

I imported the pack, but I can’t see it.

The new group arrives collapsed and sits in alphabetical order. Scroll the Presets panel, find the group named after the pack and click its arrow.

Do I have to install the presets on my phone separately?

Not if you import them into Lightroom on your computer: within a few minutes they show up in Lightroom on any device signed in to the same Adobe account. If you use Lightroom Classic, import the .XMP files in the mobile app: open a photo, tap Presets, then Yours, then the three-dot menu and Import Presets.

Do the presets work on RAW and JPEG photos?

Yes. Every preset is built to work on both RAW and JPEG files, and each one can be adjusted after you apply it.

The preset looks too strong. What do I do?

Lower the Amount slider at the top of the Presets panel, then adjust White Balance and Exposure for that photo. Every photo starts from different light.

Do you offer refunds?

Because these are downloadable products, all sales are final and we are not able to offer refunds.
