FAQ ABOUT MY 4 LIGHTROOM PRESETS
WHAT ARE LIGHTROOM PRESETS?
Lightroom presets 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 again and again. This gives you the opportunity to create a branded, signature and cohesive photography look.
WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK FOR NON-FOOD RELATED PHOTOGRAPHY?
These 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?
Yes, they can! However, these food photography presets have been designed for use in natural light situations and hence may not be at their very best when used for shots taken with artificial lighting.
WILL THESE LIGHTOOM PRESETS WORK FOR IMAGES USING HARSH LIGHT OR TAKEN OUTDOORS?
The presets will be at their best if used for images shot indoors in a home studio/spare bedroom/living room etc. with soft and diffused natural and artificial light. They can work on food images shot outdoors or with harsh light, though weren't specifically created for those scenarios.
DO I NEED TO OWN LIGHTROOM ON MY DESKTOP TO USE THESE PRESETS?
Yes! You will need to own Lightroom on your desktop. Lightroom mobile will not support these presets and neither will any other editing software like photoshop or capture one.
DO I NEED TO SHOOT MY IMAGES IN RAW TO USE YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS OR WILL THEY WORK ON JPEG IMAGES TOO?
The presets are at their best when used by those of you who shoot images in RAW. However, they can also be used if you're shooting your images in jpeg format.
IF I USE YOUR PRESETS WILL MY IMAGES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOURS?
Gosh I hope not! The TLP 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.
WHAT’S YOUR REFUND POLICY?
As these are digital products, once you download them I don’t offer any returns or refunds. I am so sorry. Please check the before and afters closely to make sure these are right for you. Please also note that rates are show in UK£.
WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM 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.
MINI BONUS
