A real before and after. Left: edited with the presets. Right: the original.

Red rock is hard to edit well.

Straight out of the camera, red rock often looks muddy or orange, and a bright sky fights a dark canyon. Push the saturation and it looks fake.

These presets give you a good starting point for three looks:

  • Clean and naturalTrue color for desert and red rock
  • Bold Southwest colorRich, dramatic tones
  • Black and whiteContrast that shows off rock texture

Questions before you buy

Which Lightroom do I need?

Lightroom Classic. The presets are .lrtemplate files, which Lightroom Classic imports (it converts them automatically). After that they sync to the other Lightroom apps.

Will they work on my photos?

They’re made for desert and red rock scenes like Zion, Arches and slot canyons. Every photo is different, so treat each preset as a starting point and adjust from there.

Do they work on JPEGs?

Yes, but they work best on raw files, which have more room to adjust.

Is this a subscription?

No. It’s a one-time payment of $15. If you have a coupon code, enter it on the checkout page.

What if it’s not for me?

Email [email protected] within 30 days and we’ll refund your $15. No questions asked.
