Use this pack when the water in your file is close, but not quite there: too green, too flat, or missing the clean tropical finish you saw in real life.

Preset FAQ

Useful before you buy.

What file format do the presets use?

Each pack includes Lightroom .XMP presets for modern Lightroom workflows, with delivery handled through Lemon Squeezy checkout.

Do they work on mobile and desktop?

They are built for Lightroom workflows on desktop and mobile. The install notes show the practical path for each.

Are they made only for drone images?

No. I built them around DJI drone work, but they also work well with mirrorless cameras, professional cameras, and action camera stills when the scene fits the pack.

Will every photo look finished in one click?

No preset should pretend that. Start from the STREX look, then adjust exposure, white balance, and skin tones for the file in front of you.

What is the refund policy?

All sales are final. No refunds due to the digital nature of my products.

Which pack should I start with?

Choose Moody Greens for jungle, rainforest, rice fields, forest, and bushland scenes. Choose Paradise Blues for water-heavy work, surf, coastlines, and beaches. The Bali Preset Bundle is best if you shoot both and want to save.
