Bring your photos to life with our colour pop presets. Designed to boost the colour in dull shots. They will particularly suit photography that has been taken with a high ISO as these shots tend to be dull and have a lot of noise. This preset uses lightroom to boost colour whilst reducing noise, giving a much more vibrant and smoother look.
