Editing, Simplified: Our 3-Step Objective Editing™ Approach
01 // Diagnose The Light
Designed to encompass typical modifications needed to create stunning edits in various lighting conditions, including mixed lighting, dimly lit bridal suites, and excessively bright or hazy backlighting. Diagnose the light and apply to corresponding preset to spend less time experimenting with presets, and more Objective Editing™!
02 / Intensity Slider Adjustments
After you've applied the preset, you'll focus on intensity slider adjustments such as toning down greens minty, or toning them down with a neutralizing undertone. (grab our calibration pack add on for these!) These powerful adjustments save you 9-12 clicks with EVERY intensity slider adjustment!
03 / Refine With The Undertone Profile
After making minor adjustments using the Tone panel, take advantage of the Undertone Profile Intensity Slider to add the finishing touch to your final edit. It's difficult to put into words, but our undertone profiles serve as the secret ingredient in the preset system! Try them out today to experience the power of the profiles yourself!

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. We do not run sample edits during high volume sales.
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!
