Download Free Professional Presets for Adobe Lightroom
With the introduction of Lightroom 4, Adobe has probably won more fans in the photography industry. With a simpler app to use, improved technology, and reviewers saying that images processed in the new Lightroom “only look better,” it is plain to understand why it is one of the most common solutions for digital photography. Learning adobe programs has never been this easy and within reach, take a look at our online graphic design course at Blue Sky Graphics.
One field that is missing, like many other systems, is the automatic presets. They look good enough, but they do not cover a wide range of models, and they may also look too “default.” Luckily for us, there are some great websites that sell free (and paid) presets for Lightroom to help you bring the most out of your shots. Check out our favourites below, please bear in mind that some of them might only be for Lightroom 3.
ShutterSweets is a brilliant new platform with an easy-to-use array of photographers’ tools. They have a great freebie pack where you can download some of their most famous presets for free. You can get their Volume 1 Free Lightroom Presets here.
One of my favourite aspects about ShutterSweets is their unrestricted membership. If you sign up, you will have instant lifelong access to everything on the entire platform, both now and in the future.
Other sites have similar options, but usually demand periodic payments per year.
This is one of the younger pages, but it has some awesome presets at affordable rates. They have a limited range of free Lightroom presets that you should try.
You may also sign up for their Ultimate Photography Bundle, which allows you access to Everything on-site. It is definitely the strongest offer for photography tools out there.
NOTE: PhotographyPla.net has also been good enough to sell 20 percent of Design Panoply readers off Lightroom Presets, as well as all other items in their shop. Use the “Panoply” code to get your discount as you check out.
Pretty Presets has a large range to pick from. Most presets are intended for wedding, marriage, or portrait photography, but may also be tailored for use in other contexts.
They do not sell any free presets, but they show a couple of samples, so you know exactly what you are having before you pay for it. You will expect anything close to any of the presets they sell online, but the fact that they are categorised neatly and all in one spot allows the price a bit more appealing.
New Layer has a limited yet increasing range of presets, including professional-grade tools for developers.

Presets Heaven is written in blog style, so you need to take some time searching through each article to locate the presets you want. They make things simpler by having a lot of photographs before and after, as well as famous blogs.
