Benefits of Fall Lightroom Presets

So if I had to summarise why using fall presets is great, this would be the main reasons.

1. Ignite your Creativity - These presets offer a starting point to see the creative possibilities for a photo and this is a great way to stimulate your artistic side and get ideas to your final edit.

2. Get Awesome Results Quickly - If you love to obtain great looking photos but don't want to spend hours to get them look right, these presets can definitely save you a lot of time. In many cases, you will find a preset that looks just right and you will have a fabulous photo literally in seconds. In other cases, you might want to have fun and modify the photo further but you have a tremendous head start by using one of the presets.

3. Change Fall Colors Quickly - Fall Presets, when they are well designed can allow you to really get a different color and mood to the photo. The main Fall Colors are golden, orange and reds and the right presets can allow you to intensify these colors or even change an end of season fading orange color into a bright and vibrant golden autumn shot or red autumn shot! You are in the driver's seat and your creativity can decide what looks better, remember photo editing is an art and there are no rules!

4. Testing in the Field while Taking Autumn Photos - With the tremendous advancement of smartphones, you can now get immediate feedback on the possibilities of a shot. I love to use presets when I am in the field doing a photo shoot. I can easily take a photo on my phone and then immediately try a few lightroom mobile presets to see what are the creative possibilities. This often allows me to see what I might need to change in my shot and usually just gives me more creative ideas to apply in real time! In addition, it is very exciting to immediately see how great a photo can look and normally I get even more motivated and hungry to do more creative shots while I am in the field.

5. Obtaining Consistent Photos to take your Instagram Feed and Social Media to the Next Level - Using Instagram Presets is critical to obtain success in Social Media and capture the attention of your audience. By using similar presets across a range of Instagram photos, you can obtain a more consistent style, which usually helps to make your feed stand out.
