Vivid HDR Landscape

When it comes to landscape photography, photographers have a wide variety of personal styles. For this reason, the SLR Lounge Preset System for Adobe Camera Raw contains multiple presets that offer both “Natural” and “Vivid” versions of a similar preset.

If you are a Premium member, you can access our newly updated ACR presets here. If you are looking to purchase the Camera Raw Presets CC, click here!

This way, when processing an HDR image for example, you can achieve the same tonal adjustments to highlights and shadows, while still maintaining your own personal preference for “over-the-top” colors and contrast, or for more neutral, natural colors and contrast. Or, in this case, …somewhere in the middle!
