The presets I use everyday to edit my outdoor, travel and wedding photos using Adobe Lightroom. The presets come formatted for both Mobile & Desktop and you will get a PDF guide on how to use and install them too. Making these presets has been a game changer for me in speeding up my workflow. I apply these presets to all my photos and for the most part I will just tweak exposure, white balance and tint to get my photos to the look I want and that’s it! I no longer spend ages editing individual photos from scratch and with the variations of my Everyday Presets they suit all types of conditions and lighting situations.

There are 3 variations of my everyday colour preset - Everyday, Everyday Contrast and Everyday Muted. There are also two black and white presets - Everyday B+W Soft and Everyday B+W Contrast. The presets also come with a set of tools (for Desktop only) including 3 Grain settings (light, medium and high) and an auto lens correction tool to help speed up your workflow.

2024 Update - A full refresh and 5 new looks

After 2 years since the initial release of my Everyday presets I have made a few tweaks to the original 5 and added a few other variations into the mix. I think finding your editing style is a constant work in progress and whilst I still love the original presets, I am very happy with the updates I have made to the style I have developed over the last 7 years. Here’s a rundown of the updates and the new additions:

SH - 1b. Everyday v2 - my base preset has been updated to be slightly darker and less contrasty with softer highlights and shadows.

SH - 2b. Everyday Contrast v2 - the contrast version of this preset has followed the same sort of update to allow it to be more consistent in different lighting scenarios

SH - 3b. Everyday Muted v2 - after a while of use, I found this preset only seemed to work well for me indoors or in other high-contrast scenes. But I’ve re-designed this one to give a more soft and matte look for use in a wider array of scenes

SH - 4a & 4b. Everyday Soft  v1 & v2 - this is a new preset that I developed that is somewhere between the original 3 colour presets and is now my regular preset for commercial work. V1 was my original more contrasty version of this preset and v2 is the softer version. I enjoy using them both depending on the scene.

SH - 5. Everyday Film Cool - this is my Everyday Soft preset but reworked to give it a slightly cooler more film-like look, I love this one for weddings.

SH - 6a & 6b. Everyday Film Warm v1 & v2 - this again was a rework of the everyday soft preset to give a slightly more heavy and warm film look. V1 is the heavier version and v2 is more akin to Everyday Soft but with a slightly warm film haze.

SH - 7. Everyday Vibrant - this one was built after I had a client who wanted very bright and colourful images. It’s my everyday look but with the colours at full whack. This isn’t one I use regularly, but is useful for certain projects.

SH - 8a & 8b. Classic B+W - this is a new B+W preset that I now use as my staple for wedding photography. There is the original version and a lower-contrast one for use in high-contrast lighting scenes to soften the image.
