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
Cool colors. Steely tones. Give your images a rich and dramatic feel with our collection of Male Blogger Lightroom Presets.
Most presets add clarity, texture and Dehaze while deepening the blacks, so jackets, denim, brick and glass look crisp in menswear, travel and downtown portraits. After you apply one, lower Clarity a step if skin begins to look rough.
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.

Male Blogger Lightroom Presets · 10 Looks
Muted Color and Steely City Tones
Ten presets that pull back color, firm up contrast and give street and lifestyle photos a calm, steely finish. They work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop and mobile.
Cool Colors, Punchy Contrast
The ten presets give a whole feed of portraits, street shots and city scenes one steady, understated style. Every one of them pulls color back, through lower saturation or vibrance or by muting single colors, so outfits and backgrounds read calm and grown-up. None of them adds grain or a vignette.
Blues and Aquas Quieted
Nine presets lower the saturation of blues, which turns bright skies and glass into steel and slate. Urbane Grey goes the other way and gives blues more color. Aquas lose color in nine presets as well.
Cooler or Neutral White Balance
Half the pack cools the white balance, led by Soft Soot and Stormy Hail, while the rest warm it by 6 at most or leave it alone. Eight presets deepen the blacks for a firmer finish, seven raise contrast and none lowers it.
Best on: menswear and street style, city and architecture shots, and moody lifestyle feeds.
Monorail Silver
Monorail Silver drains much of the color from a bright city scene. The blue sky fades to a pale gray-white, the glass tower turns a cool silver and his dark hoodie and jeans keep strong, deep tones. The tint moves 15 points toward green.
Every Color Range Muted
Saturation drops in all eight color ranges, by about half for blues, aquas and greens, and the cool colors get lighter, which bleaches the sky. Overall saturation falls by 21 while vibrance rises by 21. A faint orange tint goes into the shadows.
Crisp, Steely Detail
Whites rise by 31, blacks drop by 22, and Clarity and Dehaze both go up, so the window grid and building edges look sharp and metallic. Texture rises by 5, and the tone curve lifts the deepest shadows while lowering the lights.
Best on: architecture and city photos, action and athletic shots, and urban portraits with lots of glass or metal.
Soft Soot
Soft Soot cools the scene and calms warm clothing. The brown trousers and leather bag settle into a muted earth tone, the tweed blazer turns grayer and the railing behind him brightens to a clean white. Contrast rises by 14 and shadows by 20, so darker tones keep their detail.
Brighter Whites, Deeper Blacks
Whites rise by 35 and highlights by 21 while blacks drop by 27, and Clarity and Dehaze both go up. That gives a crisp, punchy finish without heavy shadows. Texture rises by 6, which sharpens fine detail.
Cooler, Calmer Color
The white balance moves toward blue and every color range loses saturation, oranges by about a quarter, with a soft orange tint added to the shadows. Greens, aquas, blues, purples and magentas lose the most, about half their color.
Best on: lifestyle shots of commuters and cyclists, warm-toned outfits, and bright urban photos you want to look calmer.
Wrought Iron
Wrought Iron adds contrast and turns blues toward teal. His jeans shift from bright denim to a dark teal-gray, the stone wall goes neutral and the tan jacket keeps some warmth against the cooler street. White balance does not change.
Blues Shift and Fade
Blues move strongly toward aqua and lose about two thirds of their color, while aquas get much lighter. Greens shift strongly toward yellow and lose 45 points of saturation. Overall saturation drops by 33, with vibrance up 18 so softer colors don’t go flat.
Hard Contrast, Soft Whites
Contrast rises by 32 and blacks drop by 30, but whites come down by 36 and the shadows open up, so the image feels firm without losing detail. Dehaze at +18 adds extra bite, and Texture rises by 7 for crisper surfaces.
Best on: street portraits, people on scooters or bikes, and modern buildings with concrete and glass.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered
What’s included in the Male Blogger Lightroom Presets?
The pack includes 10 presets: Urbane Grey, Charcoal Blue, Platinum Grey, Wrought Iron, Velvet Cloud, Dark Flint, Peppercorn, Stormy Hail, Monorail Silver and Soft Soot. 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 Male Blogger Lightroom Presets made for?
They’re designed with an on-the-go lifestyle in mind and suit urban lifestyle photos, athletic shots, dramatic portraits and landscapes. The looks cool down color temperature, mute colors, add punchy contrast and sharpen important details, adding cool blues and steely gray toning for a subtle, dramatic feel.
Do the Male Blogger presets give a film look?
Yes. Several looks use muted colors and a matte finish for a timeless 35mm film feel. The minimalist looks make subtle shifts to hue, saturation and brightness, adding blues to the shadows and lowering saturation for a darker, more mysterious scene with cinematic coloring.
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.
