DESCRIPTION

Capture the bright colors and sun-soaked energy of Miami with our Miami Beach Lightroom Preset Pack! Instantly brighten up your images while adding saturation and enhancing lime greens, pinks, and coral tones.

Each one warms the photo, and most lift the blacks, lower contrast and raise Vibrance, making them a fit for poolside portraits, pastel streets and days on the sand. After you apply one, lower Temperature if sand or skin turns too golden.

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.

Warm Skin, Bright Aqua and Soft Pinks

One Miami Look for the Whole Feed

The Miami Beach pack is ten presets inspired by the colors of Miami: warm sand, aqua water and soft pinks. Across the feed, skin turns brighter and warmer and the sea and sky lean toward turquoise, so a set of summer photos looks like one trip. Eight of the ten lower contrast and nine lift the blacks.

Warmer in Every Preset

Every preset in the pack moves the white balance warmer and brightens oranges, which lifts skin and gives sunlight a golden feel. Four also nudge the tint toward magenta, and none moves it toward green.

Aqua Turned Up

Aqua saturation goes up in every preset, so pools, ocean and painted walls carry more color. Nine presets also shift blues toward aqua for a tropical sky, and eight raise blue saturation.

Best on: beach and pool photos, summer street style, and colorful vacation sets.

Crisp Aquamarine

Crisp Aquamarine shifts the deep blue sky toward aqua and warms and brightens the couple’s skin. The neon yellow swimsuit stays bright, and the whole frame looks softer. Clarity and texture both drop by 10, which is where much of that softness comes from.

Blue Sky to Aqua

Blues shift toward aqua and get a touch darker, and aqua saturation goes up, which turns a plain blue sky into a tropical turquoise. Aquas also get a little lighter, and greens gain a touch of color.

Glowing Skin, Gentle Contrast

Oranges get much brighter and an orange tint goes into both the shadows and the highlights. Contrast comes down and the white balance warms, while a little dehaze keeps the sky from looking hazy. The tint moves toward magenta, and reds shift toward orange.

Best on: couples on the beach, splashing in the surf, colorful swimwear, and sunny photos with a lot of sky.

Turquoise Dream

Turquoise Dream turns the blue top a rich turquoise and brings out warm copper tones in her curly hair. The bright poolside background gets lighter and softer. Contrast drops by 24, shadows dip by 12, and vibrance rises by 10.

Deeper, Richer Turquoise

Blues shift toward aqua, and both blues and aquas gain saturation and get darker, so blue clothing and pool water turn a dense turquoise. Highlights come down to hold detail in the white chairs and sky. Whites also come down while blacks lift slightly.

Warm Hair and Skin

Reds, oranges and yellows all get brighter and the white balance warms. A light pink-red tint in the shadows and a soft haze from negative dehaze keep the look gentle. Sharpening goes up to 40, which keeps fine detail crisp through the haze.

Best on: poolside and hotel portraits, blue or teal clothing, and summer drinks and lifestyle shots.

Golden Nectar

Golden Nectar wraps skin and hair in a warm peach tone, softens contrast and turns the sky a light aqua. The friends and their ice pops take on a hazy, sunny look. White balance warms only slightly, by 5, and vibrance rises by 10.

Matte, Low-Contrast Base

Contrast drops a lot, whites come down, the blacks and shadows lift, and the tone curve raises the black point for a faded finish. Negative dehaze adds a soft haze. Highlights come down by 38, which holds detail in the brightest areas.

Sky Pushed Toward Aqua

Blues shift strongly toward aqua, which is what turns the sky behind them teal. Oranges move a little toward red and get much brighter, giving skin its peachy glow. Yellows shift toward orange, and greens get lighter.

Best on: friends at the beach, summer treats and ice pops, close-up selfies, and bright portraits in strong sun.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered

What’s included in the Miami Beach Lightroom Presets?

The pack has 10 presets: Serenity Pink, Golden Nectar, Ella Rose, Spirited Yellow, Crisp Teal, Flamingo Pinks, Crisp Aquamarine, Almond Kiss, Turquoise Dream and Pink Meringue. 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 Miami Beach Lightroom Presets made for?

They are made for bright, sunny outdoor photos from Miami Beach or any coastal spot: packed beaches, city streets and summer treats. The presets brighten your images, add saturation and bring out lime greens, hot pinks, coral tones and golden sand.

Can the Miami Beach presets help with harsh midday shadows?

Yes. On the beach the sun is often high in the sky, which creates hard light and harsh shadows. These presets lift those shadows and soften the transition between light and dark for a more even exposure, while smoothing out skin tones.

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.
