What contains what

5 smaller products are wholly inside this library. Buy this one and you have all of them; buy one of them first and what you paid comes off this price.

This library is itself inside 1 larger library.

Before you buy

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, and they work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop too.

Is this a bundle of other people's presets?

No. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on real photographs before it ships.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user licence covers personal and commercial photography. You cannot resell the preset files themselves.

What if it does not work?

Before your first download we refund, no questions asked. After a download, sales are final except a technical fault we cannot fix or a duplicate charge. The refunds page has the rest.

Netzah Elad Topaz, the photographer who makes these presets

the maker

Why I make these

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on real photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.
