Why presets look different on every photo

The lighting in your photo affects how a preset looks — and that's normal.

Step-by-step

1. 1

   Presets adjust settings, but the photo's original light still shines through.

2. 2

   Bright photos look brighter after a preset, dark photos look darker.

3. 3

   Tweak exposure, contrast, and white balance after applying.

4. 4

   Use the same preset across photos taken in similar lighting for the most consistent look.
