Adobe Lightroom is the most popular software for Photographers, this powerful program allows you to carry out a whole range of photo processing, editing and cataloging of your images. One of the best features of Lightroom is the ability to save your settings after editing a photo and re-use those same settings on any future photos with a click of the mouse, these are called “presets” and they can be a massive time-saver.
As well as saving your own presets, you are able to download presets created by other people for many different styles of photography and apply them to your images – this saves you time, but also allows you to apply different effects that you might not know how to do, therefore you can also learn editing techniques from these.
In this post, we have put together a huge list of free lightroom presets which are available to download completely free and add them to your own Lightroom installation, allowing you to build up a collection for every purpose and style you would like to use on your own photos.

Lightroom Preset Saturation
This preset works best in images that require some saturation to be added in dimmer colors.

I would not recommend using this preset for images where there’s a prevalence of white color.
Lightroom Preset Matte
The Lightroom Matte preset is excellent for portrait images that require a bit of darkening. It primarily affects the whites, blacks, and vibrancy of your image. Since it mutes lighter colors, it also smoothes out skin tone. I wouldn’t recommend using this preset for subject images since it can really wash out colors quickly.
