Preset
01Mangolicious
Use my presets to apply my preferred color style, which I use for about 90% of my photos. These presets serve as a starting point for achieving specific color aesthetics, such as Film, Moody, Color Pop, Natural, or Dominant Colors. While the presets set the tone, you'll still need to adjust tones and, if necessary, use masking to make the image stand out. They aren't intended to be a "one-and-done" solution, although some images may work with minimal tweaks. For most images, further adjustments will be needed to enhance the final result. The presets primarily assist with color grading, but each image is unique, so feel free to reach out with any questions at Info@lpephoto.com.
Below is a breakdown of the presets, their effects, and some tips on how to make them work for you:
**Barney**
A color-dominant preset with a focus on purples, best suited for well-exposed landscapes with strong shadows and highlights. Adjust the *Dehaze* slider to control intensity, and fine-tune the contrast, highlights, and shadows for the best results.
**Charlie Brown**
Gives images a moody brown tone, turning greens to brown. If needed, adjust the green slider in the HSL panel. Continue editing as you would with any other image afterward.
**Charlie Brown Acid Wash**
Similar to Charlie Brown, but with a faded, vintage look. Edit in the same way.
**Golden Glow**
Enhances yellows for a warm, glowing image. Use the *Amount* slider to control intensity, and fine-tune with *Point Color* and the *Temp* slider as needed.
**Golden Glow Acid Wash**
A faded version of Golden Glow with a similar editing approach.
**Gotham**
Creates a dark, moody atmosphere with a greenish tint and faded blacks. Raise the exposure and whites to balance out the dark tone, then edit as usual.
**Grandpa Presets**
These are various black-and-white presets. Edit them as you would with any black-and-white image.
**Green and Yellow**
Emphasizes bright greens and yellows with a soft glow. Edit like any standard image.
**Hulk Smash**
Offers a dark, moody green look. Use the *Curves* tool, increase exposure, and adjust basic tones for refinement. Two versions: one with *Dehaze* and one without.
**Kale**
A more natural green look than Hulk Smash, but still on the darker side.
**Mango 800**
A take on the classic Porta 800 film look with my personal twist. Edit like a regular image.
**Mango Fursty**
A color-dominant preset inspired by Dylan Furst, focusing on blues. It works well for some photos but not all. If the image looks too dark, raise the exposure and adjust the *Curves*.
**Natural Con Extra Color**
Gives a natural look with a bit of color pop. Edit as you would any other image.
**Orange Peel**
Creates an orange-and-teal look. Edit like any other picture.
**Spinach**
Provides a more subtle green color pop for a natural look. Edit as usual.
**Twilight**
Mimics the color tones of the *Twilight* movies, with a teal-dominant palette. Edit as any other image.
**Unicorn**
The ultimate color pop, but without oversaturation. Edit like any other image.

For more precise color adjustments, use the *Point Color* tool, which preserves the preset’s overall look while allowing you to fine-tune specific colors.
I hope you enjoy these presets!
