Be honest with yourself.
These presets work incredibly well — for the right person. Here's who that is.
This IS for you if —
- You shoot in RAW and want a consistent editing style across your whole gallery
- You're spending too long editing every image manually from scratch
- You want a professional starting point you can adjust to suit each shot
- You shoot landscapes, travel, or environmental photography
- You use Adobe Lightroom (Classic, CC, or Mobile)
This ISN'T for you if —
- You only shoot JPEG and want a fully automatic, zero-adjustment result
- You're looking for a filter you can apply without touching anything else
- You don't use Adobe Lightroom and aren't willing to learn the basics
- You mainly shoot studio portraits or product photography
- You expect every preset to look perfect on every image without any tweaking

A preset is a saved set of Lightroom edit settings applied to a photo in one click. Instead of adjusting 20+ sliders manually for every image, you click once and get a professional starting point, then fine-tune from there.
Think warm, slightly faded, filmic — like a photograph from a roll of expired 35mm film. The Nostalgia Collection leans into soft highlights, warm shadows, and reduced contrast for a vintage, organic look that feels personal rather than processed. Editorial without being overdone.
You'll need Adobe Lightroom — Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC (subscription), or Lightroom Mobile (free app). The presets are .xmp files and work across all three. The included tutorial shows exactly how to import and use them.
Yes. Built on Sony RAW files but compatible with any camera — Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, and more. Shooting RAW gives the best results. They'll work on JPEGs too, but with less adjustability.
Almost always, yes — and that's intentional. Every photo has different light and exposure. The preset handles the style; you handle the last 20% (usually a quick exposure and white balance tweak). The tutorial explains exactly how.
Yes. Import them to Lightroom Classic or CC first, sync to your Adobe account, and they'll appear in Lightroom Mobile automatically. The tutorial covers the mobile sync process.
After purchase you'll receive a download link for a ZIP file. Unzip it, then in Lightroom go to Develop → Presets → right-click → Import Presets, and select the .xmp files. The tutorial walks through every step.
