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.

Use this to give a soft, dreamy feel to your photos. This preset uses lightroom to increase the luminance on the image which blends the pixels together to give a smooth and soft look to your photography. In this example purples and mauves have also been added to the highlights and shadows to further enhance that dreamy feeling.
