Elevate Presets

We wanted to challenge ourselves in 2018 to put out a preset system that is based on our methods of editing, which has a natural--not overly done look-- to your edits, all while not being overly costly.

The Elevate Presets Original pack comes with 8 Colour presets, 3 B/W, and a Noise/Grain fix - all for $40. How neat is that? It also has an instruction manual on how to use the presets with some examples included for each preset, plus there are Lightroom Templates and Adobe Camera Raw templates if you use one or the other.

Also, keep an eye out for our social media where we are going to do random giveaways. First, comment and like on our @elevatepresets Instagram posts for a chance to get 25% discount codes. Second, we'll throw in the occasional rare 50% on random people that comment who want a discount code! We'll throw our good karma out into the world; let's not just elevate great photos, let's elevate great people. Enjoy!

(also, side note, but this section is better viewed on a computer as opposed to a cell phone. The changes between presets seem far more subtle on a cell phone than on a computer screen. Subtle is great! but to really notice and appreciate the different style of look you can achieve we recommend previewing the website on your computer)

These are just some example images from other photographers; we thought it was a nice way to show the natural look that you can aim to achieve with this preset pack.

Get more bang for your buck with this investment. Lots of base options, very affordable cost. Additionally, you can quite often can easily obtain the desired look with just a one-click application, otherwise subtle changes to contrast, whites, blacks, or shadows for desired look. It helps if you get your exposure and white balance correct, otherwise your initial colours and brightness might come out looking a little funky. 

You'll have a variety of colour presets to choose from, all of which can bring a highly desirable outcome to your images. Choose your favourite look and you're all set. More faded and desaturated, or colour popping-contrast.  There is a wide variety of looks included to give your photos that extra "oomph".

None of these images were photographed by us! These have all been submitted by other members of the photographic community. Some are professionals, some just sent in their beloved snaps. We reached out to the community and asked if we could borrow their images because we wanted to show the world what their images looked like. Any image, any subject, various lighting conditions, all coming out amazing. Elevate.

Sometimes the one thing needed to elevate your ordinary snaps to extraordinary images is beautiful true to life colour depth and tones.

You already have great images... now it's time to make them exceptional images. 

It's like a 'choose your own adventure' kind of deal. Find the unique tone which suites you best, and then spread the love across the rest of your collection. Lower contrast and faded? Check. More vibrancy? Check. Extra colour in the highlights? You've got it. With 8 different base colour presets to choose from you'll definitely fall in even more love with your images. Check out the example below. Left half is Straight Out Of Camera (looks great already!) Right half is cycling through all the Coloured edits and the Black and Whites. (side note, ignore the lens correction that gets applied on a few images, those have been fixed in the preset pack on the store!) Elevate.

Ok, secret time. This next photo is one of ours (guilty!) So we know exactly what we'd tweak to get the perfect look we want, but, to compensate, check out the full preset pack applied to this photo (because it's amazing?? We love this snap). Very first picture is straight out of camera, then it goes through all 8 coloured presets, and the 3 black presets. Check out the full versatility of looks this custom preset pack offers for you, the user. And since these are just the base presets, you can really create some wonderous magic for yourself if you decide to tweak a few things. Find that the skin tones are a tad bit too much? just give a subtle adjustment. Each preset brings you a subtle yet iconic look. Elevate.

Check out this animate GIF below. Left side is always the original Straight Out Of Camera RAW, right side is it cycling through each preset shown above! Don't mind the slight quality degradation, animated GIFs can only display a small amount of overall image quality ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We're glad you made it until the end. It shows you loved what you saw and wanted to keep looking for more. Thank you for that. It validates the appreciation of the work put into these. But our journey for this preset pack is done, and it's time for your journey to begin!
