FAQ ABOUT MY 4 FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTROOM PRESETS FOR MOBILE
WHAT ARE LIGHTROOM PRESETS FOR MOBILE?
Lightroom presets for mobile are similar to filters (as seen on Instagram), only better. They save editing adjustments so that you can easily re-apply the same settings to your images on your phone again and again. This gives you the opportunity to create a branded, signature and cohesive food photography look. They need to be used on the Adobe Lightroom app, available for free on your mobile phone (or on desktop too as part of your paid for Adobe Creative Cloud subscription).
Please note, if you wish to purchase the presets to use on your images shot with your DSLR, please go here.
WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK FOR NON-FOOD RELATED PHOTOGRAPHY?
These Adobe Lightroom presets have been specifically designed, tried and tested for food photography, however you might find they work for other types of shots too :).
WILL THESE LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK WITH ARTIFICIALLY LIT FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY?
Possibly! However, these presets were designed for use in natural light situations. Hence, they may not work at their best if you use artificial lighting.
WILL THESE LIGHTOOM CC PRESETS WORK FOR IMAGES USING HARSH LIGHT OR TAKEN OUTDOORS?
The presets will be at their best if used for images shot indoors with natural light, soft or diffused light. They may not work as well for food images shot outdoors or images where harsh light comes into play.
WHAT’S YOUR REFUND POLICY?
As these are digital products, once you download them I don’t offer any refunds or returns. I am so sorry. Hence, please check the before and afters closely to make sure these are right for you. Please also note that the investment outlined is shown in UK£.
DO I NEED TO HAVE THE LIGHTROOM APP ON MY PHONE TO BE ABLE TO USE THESE PRESETS?
Yes! You can download the Lightroom editing app for free onto you mobile phone and use the presets there. The presets used on your free Lightroom mobile app will have a .dng extension.
If you have purchased the Adobe Creative Cloud, you can download the Lightroom editing app onto your mobile for free too and benefit from some additional features the free version does not have as well as sync your Lightroom presets from your desktop version to your mobile app version. The presets however will work exactly the same on the paid or free version.
CAN I USE THE PRESETS ON ANY OTHER EDITING SOFTWARE THAT ISN’T LIGHTROOM CC?
No! Please note these presets will not be useable on any other editing software like Photoshop, Snapseed, Capture One or even Lightroom Classic for desktop.
WILL THE ADOBE LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK ON JPEG IMAGES?
Yes, absolutely, that’s what they were designed for.
IF I USE YOUR PRESETS WILL MY IMAGES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOURS?
Gosh I hope not! The TLP essential food photography Lightroom presets I am making available for purchase here are the ones I currently use, however I hope that they will allow you to establish a look that you like and - from there - enable you to develop your own style.
ONCE I APPLY THE PRESET, WILL I NEED TO DO ANY FURTHER EDITING?
Possibly. The presets don’t adjust white balance or exposure for example. Any additional editing suggests will be outlined in the HOW TO guide that comes with the presets. Personally I apply the preset and make at most 2-3 minor adjustments.
With the help of these presets my editing takes me 2-5 minutes at most my aim is that the same will apply to you.
WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM CC PRESETS 'FIX' A PHOTO I TOOK THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT?
No! Please remember, presets are there to take a correctly exposed and well composed food photography image from good to jaw droppingly gorgeous.
