Lightroom Presets Are Not Magic Buttons (But Here's How to Make Them Feel Like It)
A few years back, I released a preset pack on a Tuesday night mostly because I couldn’t sleep. I’d spent the better part of a weekend building it, named every preset after a Wilco song, and figured maybe a hundred people would download it. By Friday it had 50,000 downloads. By the following Monday, my inbox was a disaster of people saying the presets “didn’t work” on their photos. That week taught me more about Lightroom presets than the previous three years of using them.
