Caldera Presets are designed to be used on a clean-edited photo. In other words, before you apply a preset, it's best to first set the White Balance and Exposure of your image, but it is not required in order for the preset to work.

The overall Exposure of your image WILL be altered due to the changing values of the Highlights, Shadows, Whites and Blacks in each preset. You will need to adjust Exposure after the preset is applied in order for the preset to look as intended.

Each preset has been named according to the different lighting situations you may encounter during a photo shoot. For instance, CALDERA - DIFFUSE is designed for even, diffuse skies, or golden hour lighting. CALDERA - BACKLIT is designed for back lit subjects, and so on. The presets with a '+' symbol have added contrast.

And finally, have fun! Experiment! The more you mess around with the settings and sliders in Lightroom and Camera Raw, the more you'll discover new ways to edit you photos and develop style that is truly unique.
