How To Develop Lightroom Presets and Apply Them On Videos

If you’ve been using Adobe Lightroom to edit your pictures, most probably you’ve created your own set of Presets as well.

Presets work like filters you have on any mobile editing app. For example, you have edited a picture, changed tones, hues etc. and you want to apply the same effect on other pictures as well. For this, you can save it as a preset.

This will save all the alterations you made in the current picture as a preset of a name of your choice which you can use later easily. The newly saved preset can be seen on the left-hand side panel, under the section of User Presets.
