FAQ

What software/program do I need to use these presets?
The presets are compatible with the current desktop versions of Adobe Lightroom (formerly known as Lightroom CC), Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop (Camera Raw). You’ll need an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription to access to the latest version of these programs. The presets are not compatible with other (non-Adobe) photo editing software or older versions of Lightroom and Photoshop.

Do the presets work on Mac and PC?
Yes, they work on both.

Do the presets work with RAW or JPG files?
They work with both RAW and JPG files. RAW files typically give you the best results and most flexibility when working in Lightroom or Photoshop, so that’s what we recommend.

Do the presets work on mobile devices?
Yes, they do. You can install them in the desktop version of Lightroom and sync them to the mobile app.

Do these presets use the masking and AI features in Lightroom and Photoshop?
No, they do not. Some of our other presets created specifically for landscapes do use the masking functionality to edit the sky and foreground independently, but these presets do not.

Can I use these presets on multiple computers?
Yes! You can use them on as many computers/devices as you’d like, as long as they are for your own use (you can’t share them with other people).
