Top 3 Lightroom Presets

I get questions often about the top lightroom presets. I decided to put together two lists of our best selling lightroom collections for you. The first three will be for Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5 lightroom presets. The second three will be for Lightroom 1,2 and 3. Please let us know in the comments below what lightroom presets you would like to see next. Also, don't forget we have free lightroom presets here for you. These are sharpening presets and are great for facebook, too.

Top 3 Most Downloaded Lightroom Presets for Lightroom 4 & 5
1. The Complete Collection for Lightroom 4 and 5 is the best selling collection in our store. It currently includes eight lightroom preset collections! It includes the Pretty Pastels, Fine Art Film, Clean and Creative Advanced Workflow, Workflow Collection, Retro Rock-n-Roll, Spring Color, Flare and Haze, Dreamy Baby and the Vignette and Blur Bonus. It is packed with all the presets you will need for Lightroom 4 and 5. All of these collections can be used on raw and jpeg images.
2. The Best Seller Bundle quickly became one of our best sellers shortly after release. It includes two of our best selling collections from 2013 in one download! Both of these sets will work with Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5. They also will work on both jpeg and raw images.
First, the Pretty Pastels Collection brings light and color to your natural light images. Soft pastel tones with a velvety matte finish and vintage-film B&W conversions will help you create your own signature style.
Second, enjoy the Fine Art Film Collection. This collection brings a classic film inspired look to your images. This unique collection includes presets ranging from beautiful vintage film inspired B&W conversions to rich split tones with a velvety matte finish. The set also includes six amazing color presets that range from soft faded film styles to deep matte jewel tones.
3. The Clean and Creative Advanced Workflow Collection allows you to create clean edits, then "layer" creative presets to produce your own signature style! Use the eight "base" presets to give your image a clean edit, then select from each of the five levels of preset groups for the perfect look. With 36 presets in this collection, all which can be mixed-and-matched, you can create an unlimited number of custom combinations for your images.

2. The Complete Collection is full of all of the collections you'll need to edit. These will all work in Lightroom 1,2 and 3. We've included the download for jpeg presets and the download for raw presets into one bundle. While most photographers only use one set, you have the option of both for the price of one. There are 100+ presets in this download for jpeg and raw.
3. The Dreamy Baby + Newborn Combo was created specially for editing newborn sessions. The presets range from basic color, to dreamy hazes, and soft pastel tones. There are also classic and vintage inspired B&W Presets to complete the collection.

"Offering a digital package to all 2013 clients who did not get them before and a canvas deal for those who purchased the digitals already." - Karen
"I've got a mystery pre-sale going until tonight - each code is good one time only and expire tonight and range in discount between 10% and 30% - they don't know the amount until they use it. On Friday so far I plan discounts on canvas, gift certificates, prints, jewelry and cards in varying amounts depending on product." - Caneel
