I’ve been asked about presets I use for my digital images and those are a set that I’ve been tweaking since I started photography 5 years ago. I use this app when I’m editing videos, they have a lot of great colour options and is compatible with video files. This brush also does wonder on teeth if you’re taking a selfie. Sometimes, when I can’t get my white sheets to be ‘very white’, I’ll bring the images into Facetune and do a once over with the white brush. This is a great app if you want those whites to be crisper. Ultimately, you are the creator and know what tones/hues you like best. All these presets are great and they act as a base for your editing. For I bring up the saturation a tad and for I bring down the saturation a nudge.I also like to decrease my orange and yellows tones.Once I apply my preset of choice, I almost always increase exposure, bring down highlights & blacks (move slider to the left), bring up shadows and whites (move the slider to the right).My favourite go-to presets are & & If you prefer something with a bit more of a yellow/nude undertone, I like the option. On my app, I have opted for the images to automatically load, you also have the option to add the images individually.

Once you’ve taken a few images, go through and delete the ones you don’t want to keep so everything on your camera roll are images you love.

Like everything, it takes a bit of practice and you’ll soon master it! There are a ton of other photo editing apps but I find Lightroom allows me to get the closest colours to my film images. It can feel daunting but I promise, once you’ve learned to navigate it a bit or have some favourite presets you like, this app is a breeze to add a little magic to your everyday images.

I edit all my iPhone images in the Lightroom mobile app.
