Box one, people. The studio collections are filed by the pattern you lit, broad and short, butterfly, clamshell, loop, Rembrandt, split, hard fresnel and rim, and each finishes the skin for that pattern. Skin gets its own row: Dark Skin lifts deep tones without greying, Pale Skin controls the redness, Studio Skin trims the flush, Window Seat warms the indoor portrait and leaves the contrast near flat. Then the bookings: newborns at home, backstage candids, graduations with the gowns alive, ceremony halls neutralised, dance floors with the gel wash tamed, the family group in open shade, the school run, the stage face pulled back to skin. Sport runs from the arena sand to the weight room with the lamp cast gone and the faces readable.

Box two, places. Listing Bright and Bright Room for property, Glass Tower, Old Stone, Book Corner, the dark and industrial rooms, the museum, and one collection per detail: brick, vault, door, rail, roof, stair, tile, window. Street and travel finish the box: Street Face, Subway Tile, Wet Asphalt, Grain Witness, Market Stall, Souk Lantern, then the documentary edge, Empty Lot, Midday Flat, New Topographic, Balloon Dawn, Border Road, Temple Shade.

Not in either box: the exclusive sets, Beauty Clean, Swaddle Studio, Pet Portrait and Chalk Hold on the people side, Stained Glass, Hotel Lobby and Rooftop View on the places side, each sold on one specialist page only. The People Library and the Places Library are the two boxes sold separately; Lighting Patterns, Wedding and Family Card, Buildings and Rooms and Portrait and Family are smaller drawers again. This archive is both boxes.

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 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.

Questions, answered

Is this the People Library plus the Places Library?

Yes, exactly those two, in one download, with nothing cut from either.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 1044 presets from People and Places as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.
