Have you fallen victim to one of these 3 scenarios?

01 / You show up to shoot and realize the groom suite is a windowless wood-paneled cave with tungsten overhead light.


02 / Later, the best first look light you can find is harsh and spotty, with hot neon green grass lurking in the background.

03 / When it's time to sneak away for sunset portraits, you're stuck trying to make magic with dull, overcast blue light because toasts ran too long.

YES - GIVE ME THE SOLUTION!

What Camera Works Best For These Presets?

We've tested these on hundreds of thousands of images over the last 7 years, and have found they are compatible for every brand (even jpg film scans!).  What changes from camera to camera? Grain - The size of the megapixel that your camera provides may make grain appear larger if you are on an older DSLR.  White Balance - Our presets are auto-white balanced, so if you are on a newer, high-performing white balance camera such as Sony A9, you might prefer the camera's white balance over this preset. We have a simple, one-time fix for this if it's too distracting for your workflow. 

Can I Try Before I Buy?

YES! You can join our Mandy Ford Editing Community Facebook Group where we test images every 1-2 weeks. 

You can submit your images using the link here, and we'll share them within the Facebook group on a screen recorded video. We'll do a live walkthrough of the edit so you can see which preset we used and how efficiently we were able to achieve the look! Don't forget to join the group after you submit your RAW images!

Are They Presets Or Profiles?

In the past, we had to choose between whether we wanted to edit with preset or profile bases.  The Situational Lighting Presets are pre-mixed recipes with both a jumping off point preset, AND an underlying base preset, and the full suite includes adjustment intensity slider presets to make editing even more efficient. 

How Should I Expose For The Presets?

Our presets work best on shots that have been properly exposed, or just a smidge underexposed.

Though, they handle underexposure like a champ!
