Look no further than these two beautiful and unique Lightroom preset collections:

New advances in the Lightroom Develop Module have allowed us to create these beautiful presets that enhance the realistic look of NATURAL LIGHT!

For the first time in Lightroom, you can now add beautiful light features that make your photos “LUMINOUS” and enhance the realistic look of natural light with just a click of a button!

Let’s take a closer look at a few examples:

1. Adding Bokeh

For this image, I added the Rainbow Bokeh Preset from the Luminous Collection to enhance the background, brightening it and giving it more of a backlit look.  The bokeh colors also match the color of the feathers in her hair. 

Here is a before and after:

2. Adding Sun Rays

For this image, I added the Sunrays Top Preset from the Luminous Collection to give the illusion of sunlight on an otherwise overcast day.  As you can see, the enhancement is so realistic and lights up her hair and the background quite beautifully.  

Here is a before and after:

3. Adding a Light Halo

For this next image, I added the Compound Halo+Sunrays Preset from the Illuminate Collection to enhance the natural backlight in the image and provide some framing around the subject.  The colors in the halo also complement the color of the grass quite nicely.

4. Adding Sun Flare

For this image, I added the Compound Flare I – Left Preset from the Illuminate Collection to enhance the naturally occurring backlight.  The many circles of sun flare also add a beautiful element of interest to the photo.  

Here is a before and after:

5. Adding Sun Glow

For the final image, I added the Golden Sun Left Preset included in the Illuminate Collection to accentuate the gorgeous sun glow that is already part of the original image.  As you can see, the sun glow enhancement makes the subject look even MORE RADIANT!  

Here is a before and after:

The Luminous and Illuminate Preset Collections are perfect for:

• Adding light to images taken under dark and overcast conditions
• Enhancing natural backlighting
