Vivid Preset in Lightroom | How to Create Your Own

In previous tutorials, we went over how to set up a Standard Color Preset and a Standard Black and White Preset to create a “soft portrait” look for our portrait images. Now, we are going to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for our landscape images. Landscape images include typical landscape shots that do not have any people in it. They also include a type of portrait called “environmental portrait.” An Environmental Portrait is a portrait that incorporates a lot of landscape into the shot, but there are still people in the image. Environmental Portraits are processed more as a landscape image rather than a portrait image because the “vivid landscape” look will give our landscape images an additional high contrast and poppy look that brings out a lot of detail. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a Standard Color Preset to create a “vivid landscape” look for landscape images and we will also discuss when to include the exposure setting into presets.
