Presets are pre-defined groups of editing settings that simplify your workflow. In Lightroom, you can apply Presets to instantly combine multiple adjustments, giving your photos a consistent and professional finish.

Choose from the given options to apply presets to the image:
- Recommended: These presets are automatically provided based on your photo, with the help of Adobe Sensei. The results can change with time, even for the same image. Use the given carousel options, such as Subtle, Strong, B&W, and more, to filter these presets easily.
- Premium: These presets are updated with every release and include categories like Adaptive (Landscape, Portraits, Subject, and Sky), Portraits, Auto+, Seasons, Style, Subject, and subject-wise presets.
- Yours: These are all the presets you've created or saved, and all the default presets included with Lightroom.
NoteStarting with the Lightroom on mobile (v11.0) release, the Adaptive: Landscape presets category offers Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter options to enhance landscape elements in photos.
