Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special app or software to use these?

Professional-grade presets work with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. Our presets also work with the Lightroom mobile app, which is available as free or subscription-based software.

What's the difference between a "preset" and a "filter"?

Presets, often referred to more specifically as Lightroom presets, make global changes to an image. On average, our presets change 30-50 settings within an image. Filters often change only basic settings within an image or add a basic graphic to an image. They can’t be modified and are often limited to use within specific programs like Instagram or smart phones. Presets provide much more advanced editing options and controls versus filters. They’re used within software applications known as a gold-standards within the photography industry, making them much more complex and adaptable to the unique features of photos.

Do I need a laptop or desktop to use these?

While many professional photographers and editors prefer to edit images on a larger screen (desktop vs mobile) or with more robust software (Lightroom subscription vs free mobile app), it certainly is not necessary or required. All images can easily be shot, edited, and posted from a mobile device. In fact, using presets when working on mobile will help to ensure an ideal mobile-friendly edit. Luxe presets work seamlessly between desktop and mobile and you can easily transfer between devices.
