RAW files capture more data than JPEGs, giving you greater flexibility when editing with presets. Colors, shadows, and highlights can be adjusted without losing quality. Switch your camera settings to RAW before shooting. This will ensure the presets apply more seamlessly, with consistent and vibrant results.

Presets are designed to enhance photos, not fix improper settings. A well-exposed photo with accurate white balance will allow the preset to shine without requiring major tweaks. Before applying a preset, adjust the exposure (brightness) and white balance to match the lighting of your image (e.g., warm for golden hour, cooler for indoor LED lights).

Every photo is unique, so a preset may need slight adjustments to fit different lighting, colors, or compositions. After applying the preset, fine-tune sliders like shadows, highlights, and saturation to achieve the perfect look. Don’t be afraid to experiment to make each edit unique while keeping the overall aesthetic consistent.
