LIGHTROOM TOOLS - 40 FREE PRESETS
=================================

Four packs, ten looks each, for Adobe Lightroom Classic.
Yours free with any Lightroom Tools plugin. Thank you.

  Bright & Airy           bright, airy, golden and pink - weddings and portraits
  Cinematic Noir          dark, moody, dramatic
  Vintage & Disposable    film and disposable-camera looks
  Orange & Teal           the cinematic orange/teal grade


HOW TO INSTALL
--------------
1. Quit Lightroom Classic completely. It only reads presets at launch.
2. Copy the four "Lightroom Tools - ..." folders into your Settings folder:

   macOS     ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings/
   Windows   %AppData%\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings\

   (On macOS the Library folder is hidden. In Finder press Cmd+Shift+G and
   paste the path above.)

3. Start Lightroom Classic. In the Develop module the four packs now appear
   as groups in the Presets panel on the left.

Prefer not to hunt for folders? In Develop, open the Presets panel, click the
"+" button and choose "Import Presets", then select the .xmp files.


HOW THESE ARE BUILT - PLEASE READ, IT MATTERS
---------------------------------------------
They grade, they do not expose.

The entire Basic panel is deliberately left alone - exposure, contrast,
highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, clarity, dehaze, vibrance and
saturation. White balance stays As Shot. Those depend on your individual file,
your camera and your light, so a preset that sets them would fight you on every
photo.

What each preset does set: colour grading, HSL, camera calibration, tone curves,
and grain or vignette where the look calls for it.

So the workflow is: set your own exposure and white balance first, then drop a
look on top. It layers, it does not overwrite.

One consequence worth knowing: on a flat, straight-out-of-camera RAW a look can
read subtle until you set your exposure. That is by design. It is a colour
grade, not a one-click auto-fix. Use the Amount slider to push any look further
or pull it back.


REMOVING THEM
-------------
Delete the four folders from the Settings path above and relaunch Lightroom.
