A Better Way to Edit

Deep Search is a completely different take on LR Presets. Most preset packs take a one-size-fits-all approach based on pre-determined looks that requires endless tweaking. Rather than offering a small handful of hit-or-miss looks, this collection provides many different potential editing paths, all based on the core aesthetics of timeless photographic style and classic film characteristics. Each category includes a selection of variations to address different of lighting conditions, color content, skin tones and more. Each style is designed to be used in conjunction with the ‘Amount’ slider to fine-tune the intensity and a library of tools to refine individual details.

The idea is simple: Somewhere down the list of presets is the edit your photo requires. All you have to do is scan down and find that one that pairs best with each photo. Select the style you prefer and the version that best suits each photo. Adjust the Amount slider and fine-tune the details with the Toolbox. “One-click editing” is a myth, but this process will get you as close to the finish line as possible. Deep Search solves the back-end work so you can spend more time making your photos your own.

1.) Set your exposure and white balance.

2.) Hover over the presets & scan down the list until you find the perfect match.

3.) Adjust the ‘AMOUNT’ slider to taste and use the Toolbox (with Amount slider) to fine-tune the details.

4.) Return to Lightroom’s Basic panel to double check your Exposure, Contrast, White Balance and Saturation.
