Four Preset Collections. One complete vision of light.
The Light Series is a cohesive collection of Lightroom presets built around a single unifying philosophy — that light, more than any other element, defines the character of an image. Each set approaches that idea from a different direction, giving you a complete palette of warm, clean, cinematic, and earthy colour grades that work individually or together across an entire body of work.
Light & Legacy brings the warmth and grain of classic colour negative film — golden skin tones, lifted shadows, and a timeless analogue depth suited to weddings, portraits, and lifestyle work.
Light & Truth is the clean and neutral counterpart — precise, honest colour with restrained contrast and natural whites that let the light in your images speak without interference.
Light & Ochre draws from the earth — warm terracotta, dusty gold, and sun-bleached tones inspired by natural pigments and the colour of late afternoon light on stone and skin.
Light & Ember turns the temperature down and the drama up — deep, smouldering grades with rich shadows and a cinematic weight built for bold editorial work and moody portraiture.
Together the four sets give you a complete editing language built on light — from the brightest, most airy frame to the darkest and most dramatic. Six base presets per set, dedicated tools, and creative profiles included across all four collections.

The Light & Legacy Color Profile manipulates green hues and contrast. Reduce the profile for less contrast and more true-to-life green tones, or increase it for more contrast and cool minty greens.
The Light & Legacy BW Profile alters black and white toning dramatically. Reduce for an airier, warm sepia tone, or push it higher for a bold, high contrast, neutral black and white.
Profiles are included with Desktop Presets only and are not available in ACR due to app limitations.
The Light & Legacy Toolset leverages AI-powered masking tools to expertly enhance both the subject and background of your imagery. Targeted adjustments across sky recovery, shadow control, background diffusion, and film grain simulation allow for a professional finish that holds up across a wide variety of lighting conditions and scenes.
Light & Legacy comes with free updates and support. Make sure to create an account at checkout to ensure you can take advantage of any future additions to this collection.
Compatible with the newest current subscription versions of Adobe Lightroom Classic, CC, Lightroom CC Mobile, and Photoshop/Camera Raw.

Light & Legacy is rooted in the aesthetic of classic colour negative film — vibrant pastel hues, clean whites, lifted shadows, and skin tones that feel natural rather than corrected. It's the warmth and grain of analogue photography translated into a workflow built for the speed of digital editing.
The dedicated L&L Toolset gives you precise control over every element that makes film look like film — grain simulation across three ISO values, sky recovery, shadow separation, background diffusion, and pastel tone shifts. Everything you need to take the base preset further and make it your own, without starting from scratch on every image.
Light & Legacy was designed with the working photographer in mind. Across six base presets it delivers a consistent, timeless finish that holds up from golden hour ceremonies to indoor receptions, editorial portraits, and lifestyle sessions — giving you a signature look that travels with you across every shoot.
