DESCRIPTION

Help colors pop in any photo with our Vibrant Color Lightroom Presets! Brighten up your images, increase vibrance, and protect skin tones.

All ten boost both Vibrance and Saturation and pull down the highlights, and most raise the whites while lowering contrast, which suits fairgrounds, painted murals and summer outfits. After you apply one, lower Saturation a few points if skin looks 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.

Vibrant Lightroom Presets · 10 Looks

Bright, Candy-Colored Looks With Open Shadows

Ten presets that raise vibrance, brighten skin and open up shadows so bold clothing, hair and walls stand out. They work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop and mobile.

Colors That Pop Across the Feed

The ten presets share a bright, colorful base, so pastel walls, pink hair and summer outfits sit together in one cheerful feed. Every one of them raises both vibrance and saturation and opens up the shadows, so colors come forward without dark, heavy areas. All ten also lower highlights, which keeps bright areas from clipping.

Skin Kept Bright

Nine presets brighten oranges, which lifts skin as the rest of the color grows. Summer Skies darkens oranges slightly and puts its punch into greens and yellows instead. Nine lift the blacks as well, and only Light Osage darkens them, by 4.

Teals, Pinks and Yellows

Seven presets shift blues toward teal, and several push reds toward pink or orange, matching the candy-colored walls and props across the feed. Seven also raise Clarity for crisper detail.

Best on: colorful portraits and street style, summer and festival photos, and bright, playful feeds.

Rose Madder

Rose Madder brightens a busy, colorful scene and softens its contrast. Her skin and blonde hair get lighter, the pink cotton candy and red top stay bold and the fairground lights behind her turn into a bright, airy blur. Temperature rises by 6, a light warm shift.

Low Contrast, Lifted Darks

Contrast drops by 52, blacks lift by 43 and shadows by 37, while highlights come down by 37. Dark areas open up, so the whole frame reads light and cheerful. Dehaze and Texture are each set to -8, which softens the frame a little more.

Warm Colors Get Lighter

Reds, oranges and yellows each get 24 to 35 points lighter and gain a little color, and blues get much lighter, which keeps skin glowing next to strong accents. Blues, purples and magentas gain some saturation, while greens lose a little.

Best on: fun selfies and festival photos, colorful outfits, and portraits with busy, bright backgrounds.

Peachy Please

Peachy Please turns up the color in an already bright portrait. Her orange hair gets lighter and stronger, the yellow shirt glows, her lips and the grapefruit lean pinker and the teal wall gains a little more color. Clarity rises by 13, which adds crisp detail.

Vibrance Up 18

Vibrance rises by 18 and saturation by 10, with yellows, aquas and blues pushed up by about 30. Whites rise by 39 and shadows by 34 for a bright, open base. Blacks lift by 26 and contrast drops by 15.

Reds Lean Pink

Reds shift toward magenta and magentas get much lighter, so lips and pink fruit read fresh, while oranges brighten to lift skin and hair. A light blue tint goes into the shadows and a faint orange into the highlights.

Best on: colorful portraits against painted walls, fruit and summer props, and photos with bold oranges and yellows.

Soft Caramel

Soft Caramel lightens the scene and softens its contrast while keeping the color strong. The orange dress stays bold, the coral wall turns a lighter, peachier tone and the shaded doorway and dark window open up. White balance stays the same, so the warmth comes from toning and color.

Softer Contrast, Open Shadows

Contrast drops by 40 and highlights by 37, while whites, shadows and blacks all rise by about 20. The result is bright and even, with no harsh edges. Clarity and Dehaze rise slightly, by 7 and 6.

Gentle Color Boost

Every color range gains a little saturation, reds lean toward orange, and a warm yellow tint goes into the highlights with a hint of blue in the shadows. Oranges get 18 points lighter, and vibrance and saturation both rise by 6.

Best on: fashion photos with bright clothing, colorful city streets, and travel portraits in the sun.

Lightroom Preset Questions, Answered

What’s included in the Vibrant Color Lightroom Presets?

The pack includes 10 presets: Soft Viridian, True Rose, Rose Madder, Bryant Gold, Soft Caramel, Crisp Bubble, Light Osage, Crisp Camellia, Summer Skies and Peachy Please. 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 Vibrant Color Lightroom Presets made for?

They’re made for any photo where you want the colors to pop, from the citrus tones of a summer wardrobe to the pinks and blues of a sunset. Inspired by the bright colors of summer, they brighten images, lift harsh shadows and bring out teals, pinks, yellows and reds while protecting skin tones.

Why do the Vibrant Color presets use vibrance instead of saturation?

Vibrance and saturation work almost the same way, except vibrance enhances color without damaging skin tones. That lets these presets ramp up the color of backgrounds and environments while your subjects still look bright and natural. Some looks also shift hues, turning blue into a refreshing teal or red into a soft peach.

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.
