Tips for Getting the Most Out of Portrait Presets for Lightroom
Using ON1's portrait presets can significantly streamline your editing process, but knowing a few tips can help you maximize their potential:
1
Start with a Strong Base Image
The best Lightroom presets for portraits will be your images, but they always work best when applied to well-exposed and well-composed photos. Make sure your original image has a good balance of light and shadow.
2
Customize the Presets
Every image is unique. Don't hesitate to adjust the settings after applying a preset — tweak exposure, contrast, or color balance to ensure the final result matches your vision.
3
Use Local Adjustments
Sometimes specific areas of an image need a bit more attention. Use Lightroom's brushes and gradients to refine the effect on particular parts of the portrait — brightening the eyes or smoothing skin tones.
4
Experiment with Different Presets
Don't be afraid to try out multiple presets on the same image to see which brings out the best in your photo. This exploration can also help you discover new editing styles.
5
Stack Presets for Unique Looks
Start with a basic color correction preset, then layer a portrait preset on top for a unique finish. Just be mindful of over-editing — sometimes less is more.
