Water and coast Lightroom presets

Water sets two traps at once. Sand and foam sit at the very top of the range, near enough to clipping that a small lift takes the texture out of them and leaves a white shape with nothing in it. The sea below will turn whatever colour it is asked to, which is how so many coastal edits end up a cyan that was never in that bay.

One pack is on this page today. Surf Spray by Foamcrest is eighteen presets for the wet end of the coast, the break itself, the spray coming off it and the light around it, worked on a coastal village, a harbour of boats, a mountain lake and a canoe on still water.

If you are mostly pointed at the cliffs and the headland rather than the water, the open landscape group holds more for you right now.
