DESCRIPTION

From seaside camping to long woodland hikes, our Nature Lightroom Presets will help you get the most out of your outdoor, travel, and wildlife photos!

Each preset brightens the shadows, and most pull down the highlights and whites while adding clarity, so rocks, bark and water keep their detail in trail, waterfall and lakeside photos. After you apply one, adjust Temperature to keep a sunset warm or a glacier cool.

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.

Nature Lightroom Presets · 10 Looks

Soft Teals and Earthy Browns Outdoors

Ten presets that open up shadows, calm strong blues and turn skies and water toward soft teal. They work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop and mobile.

All-Natural Looks for the Whole Feed

The Nature pack is ten presets made for the blues, greens and browns of the outdoors. Across the feed, ice caves, lakes and waterfalls turn a softer teal, shadows open up and rocks and clothing keep their warmth, so a set of hikes reads as one look. Only Dark Julep adds grain, and none of the ten adds a vignette.

Shadows Opened Everywhere

Every preset in the pack lifts the shadows, which brings back detail in forests, tents and rock faces shot against a bright sky. Nine also pull the highlights down, and Soft Marine is the only one that raises them.

Blues Calmed Toward Teal

Every preset lowers blue saturation, and eight presets also shift blues toward aqua. Strong skies and lakes settle into a gentler, greener blue. Greens lose saturation in nine presets as well.

Best on: hiking and camping photos, lakes and waterfalls, and mountain travel sets.

Soft Dew

Soft Dew turns the saturated blue sky into a soft teal and lifts the shadows inside the tent. The rocks, boots and denim keep their detail with a gentler finish. Exposure rises slightly, by 0.15, and vibrance goes up by 19.

Sky Shifted Toward Teal

Blues shift toward aqua and lose some saturation, greens lose a lot of their color, and purples and magentas are removed entirely. Aquas also shift toward blue, and greens toward aqua. That leaves a calm palette of teal, tan and gray.

Highlights Down, Shadows Up

Highlights come down hard and the shadows lift, while contrast drops and the blacks get deeper. The tone curve lowers the lights and highlights too, and clarity and texture add a little crispness. The white balance warms slightly, and oranges brighten for warm skin and wood.

Best on: camping and tent views, mountain lakes, point-of-view travel shots, and bright skies that look too strong.

Burnt Browns

Burnt Browns brightens the cloudy sky toward white and fades the colors gently, while the brown jacket, backpack and rocks keep their warm tones. The scene ends up light and airy. Overall saturation drops by 21 while vibrance rises by 21, so strong colors calm down and muted ones hold.

Cool Balance, Warm Shadows

The white balance moves cooler with a touch of magenta, while an orange tint goes into the shadows. That pairing keeps the sky clean and the earth tones warm. Shadows lift by 35, whites come down by 17, and contrast is left unchanged.

Blue Taken Out of the Sky

Blues lose a lot of saturation and shift toward aqua, and purples and magentas are cut hard. Aquas instead gain saturation and get lighter. Oranges and yellows get much brighter, which lifts tan clothing, skin and stone.

Best on: hiking photos on overcast days, couples on a summit, misty mountain views, and earthy clothing.

Pale Lapis

Pale Lapis gives the waterfall a cool cyan tint and turns the jeans teal, while her face and sweater brighten and her skin stays natural. The rocks around her look lighter and more detailed. Overall saturation rises by 10 and vibrance by 7.

Blues Toward Teal and Green

Blues shift toward aqua and aquas toward green, and both lose a good part of their saturation. Greens lose about a quarter of theirs too. The white balance cools slightly with a green tint, which gives water a fresh mountain look.

Detail and Bright Skin

Shadows and blacks lift, contrast eases, and clarity and texture add bite to rock and knitwear. The tone curve raises the darks, and highlights come down by 16. Oranges get much brighter and reds gain a little color, so skin stays warm against the cool water.

Best on: waterfalls and rivers, portraits on rocks, and adventure travel.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered

What’s included in the Nature Lightroom Presets?

The pack has 10 presets: Burnt Browns, Soft Dew, Pale Methyl, Beryl Blues, Vibrant Azure, Soft Marine, Light Zenith, Dark Julep, Pale Lapis and Andaman. 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 Nature Lightroom Presets made for?

They are made for outdoor, travel and wildlife photos, from seaside camping to woodland hikes. The presets enhance the blues, greens and browns of nature, such as big skies, dense forests and mountains. Vibrant Azure adds coral blue tones, while Light Zenith adds warmth and brightness.

How do the Nature presets handle bright skies and dark ground?

Shooting outdoors, an overexposed sky often leaves the ground underexposed and low in contrast. These presets smooth out the exposure and restore contrast and detail, then lift the shadows and add warm tones to darker areas like sand, soil and mountains.

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.
