How to Install Your Presets
A short PDF that walks you through installing this pack in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop and Lightroom on your phone, plus three tips for better results.
DESCRIPTION
Lift shadows and help colors pop with our Bold & Vibrant Color Lightroom Presets. Quickly and easily enhance any photo in seconds!
All ten raise Vibrance while lowering Saturation, and most brighten exposure and lower contrast, which works well for red hair, warm clothing and sunlit outdoor portraits. After you apply one, ease Vibrance back if skin starts to look too orange.
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.

Bold and Vibrant Lightroom Presets · 10 Looks
Rich Warm Color With Open Shadows
Ten presets that open up shadows and strengthen reds, oranges and skin while quieting greens. They work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop and mobile.
Bold Color for the Whole Feed
The Bold and Vibrant pack is ten presets that open up shadows and push warm color. Across a feed, red hair, orange clothing and warm skin get richer, so different photos share one bright, colorful look. Eight of the ten also raise Exposure, by up to half a stop.
Vibrance Up, Saturation Down
Every preset raises Vibrance and lowers overall Saturation, so muted colors gain strength while strong ones stay in check. Greens are desaturated in all ten, which keeps leafy backgrounds from competing. Orange luminance rises in eight, which brightens skin.
Highlights Held, Shadows Opened
Nine presets pull highlights down hard and nine raise the Shadows slider, so bright skies and skin keep detail while dark areas open up. Eight lower Contrast, and eight lift the black point on the tone curve for a softer base.
Best on: portraits, fashion and lifestyle photos you post as a set.
Perfect Citrus
Perfect Citrus makes warm color the focus. Her hair reads as a denser copper-orange, the poppies turn a deeper red, and the sky and white top get brighter and cleaner. It is also the only preset in the pack that raises Contrast.
Reds and Greens Darkened
Red and green luminance both drop hard, and reds lean toward crimson. That gives the poppies weight and turns the grassy field into a darker backdrop for her hair. Oranges also lose a fifth of their saturation and get slightly darker.
Shadows Lifted a Lot
Shadows are raised a lot and highlights pulled down hard, with a little more exposure and clarity. Yellows lose about two-thirds of their saturation and get brighter, so dry grass stays out of the way. Whites and Blacks both rise a little, and the white balance moves slightly toward magenta.
Best on: red or orange hair, flower fields, and summer portraits built around warm color.
Light Rumba
Light Rumba brightens the portrait and splits warm from cool. Her hair and the feathers move toward a richer copper, while the leaves and stone behind her shift into deeper teal and blue-green. Shadows rise by 36 as well.
Darker Oranges, Lighter Yellows
Oranges and reds get darker, which deepens the copper in her hair, while yellows lose over half their saturation and get much lighter. Greens and aquas are darkened too. Blues lose about half their saturation but get lighter, and purples lose about two-thirds.
A Soft Base With Strong Vibrance
Contrast eases, blacks lift, and highlights and whites come down, giving a softer base. Vibrance goes up a lot, so the remaining color stays rich even with the lower contrast. The tone curve also holds the brightest white just below pure white.
Best on: outdoor portraits against foliage, festival and boho styling, and photos with warm and cool color side by side.
Little Peachy
Little Peachy brightens this close-up and gives skin a soft peach glow. Her curls turn more golden, and the denim jacket and blue eyeshadow go a lighter, cleaner blue. Exposure rises by 0.15 to help with the brightening.
Brighter Oranges for Skin
Orange luminance goes up a lot and reds brighten too, which lifts skin tones evenly across the face. Oranges lean slightly toward yellow, adding the golden note in her hair. Reds shift toward orange, and yellows lose about a third of their saturation.
Smooth and Gentle
Contrast drops, shadows open and highlights come down hard, while Clarity and Texture are lowered a little to smooth skin. Blues get lighter as well, and greens lose about 70% of their color, keeping backgrounds quiet. The tone curve lifts the black point and holds the brightest white well below pure white for a matte finish.
Best on: close-up portraits, beauty shots, and natural-light photos where skin looks dull.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered
What’s included in the Bold & Vibrant Lightroom Presets?
The Bold & Vibrant Lightroom Presets include 10 presets: Light Rumba, Perfect Citrus, Osage, Sunshine Soak, Shanghai, Dark Arizona, Fall Citrus, Soft Alizarin, Vintage Brown and Little Peachy. 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 Bold & Vibrant Lightroom Presets made for?
Photos where the colors feel flat, from portraits to landscapes. The presets lift shadows and highlights, dial up vibrance and make colors pop for a bright, colorful look. The pack covers both warm and cool images: some looks enhance the blues, while others bring out the reds and oranges.
Will the Bold & Vibrant Lightroom Presets change skin tones?
The presets identify the colors that need a lift and are designed not to affect delicate skin tones, so the scenery gets the boost while skin keeps its warmth and natural look. Paired with lifted highlights, this gives portraits a warm, summery feel. Each preset can also be adjusted to suit your taste.
Are Lightroom Presets included in my PHLEARN PRO subscription?
Yes. A PHLEARN PRO membership includes every Lightroom Preset pack, plus PRO Tutorials, LUTs, Photoshop Actions and Photoshop Brushes.
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.
