Essential Collection: 20 Landscape Lightroom Presets

The Essential Collection
20 Lightroom Presets for Landscape Photography
Based on my Lightroom workflows for landscape photography and over 10 years of experience in Lightroom, I've created this exciting preset pack for landscape and travel photographers - professionals and amateurs alike.

With these presets, you'll be fully prepared for the vast majority of landscape photography scenarios you may come across. → Find out more
20 Lightroom Presets, 6 Categories
Choose from 20 presets, which are divided into six categories. Even though the names of the presets indicate the subject, it's worth taking an experimental approach: Often, presets from another category also lead to great results with just a few clicks, since color palettes in nature repeat themselves in many places.

1. Moody (5 presets: M1-M5)
2. Classic (4 presets: C1-C4)
3. Forest (3 presets: F1-F3)
4. Winter (3 presets: W1-W3)
5. Sunrise and Sunset (2 presets: S1 and S2)
6. Black & White (3 presets: BW1-BW3)
= 20 highly universal presets for landscape photography


As a first step before applying a preset, the White Balance and Exposure should be checked in Lightroom and adjusted manually if necessary.
Developed for Desktop & Mobile
All presets are compatible with Adobe Lightroom 4–6, CC, and Classic (.lrtemplate & XMP-files included) as well as the latest Lightroom Mobile app on iOS and Android.

Also works with the latest version of Photoshop!
This product also works with Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) in version 10.3 or newer - that means you can use the presets in Adobe Photoshop, too.

Example Photos (Before & After)
The sample photos are intended to give you a realistic impression of the presets. Therefore, only the basic settings like exposure, highlights or shadows were adjusted manually in some photos; everything else is based on the presets.
Example Photos: 01 / Moody Landscapes
Five Lightroom presets for moody landscapes that are not about blue skies and sunshine. The presets unfold their full potential in scenes with clouds, fog or overcast skies - a look at my landscape portfolio will give you a good indication of the type of motifs. 
More Before & After Examples
Example Photos: 02 / Classic Landscapes
The total of four presets in the Classic collection have the most universal character of all the presets and work for a high number of different landscape types, seasons and times of day. The different looks are rather subtle in nature. The presets often achieve wonderful results in documentary and travel photography as well.
More Before & After Examples
Example Photos: 03 / Forest Landscapes
A total of three presets that work well for a variety of forest landscapes of the temperate climate range in all seasons except winter: Dense and dark fir forests, misty coastal woodlands, lush green spring forests or abstract macro details such as lichen, foliage and mushrooms. The special focus is on the green and brown tones of forest vegetation.
More Before & After Examples
Example Photos: 04 / Winter Landscapes
These three presets are ideal for snow-covered landscapes or polar landscapes dominated by ice, rocks and glaciers. The special focus is on the cool tones of blue and aquamarine. The presets work best for scenes with cloudy or overcast skies, as this is where the blue hue of the ice comes out best.
More Before & After Examples
Example Photos: 05 / Sunset and Sunrise
These two presets are designed for the special color palette of sunrises and sunsets. The first preset (S1) intensifies the warm tones and increases the contrast and the second preset (S2) applies a subtle orange and teal look.
More Before & After Examples
Example Photos: 06 / Black & White
3 universal black and white looks complete this collection of landscape presets: Achieve appealing b&w images with deep, rich blacks and high contrast in just a few clicks. If you are interested in my complete workflow for black and white landscape and travel photography, you can find more information here.
More Before & After Examples
One image. Numerous looks.
The special aspect of this preset collection is that you can often choose different approaches to edit a single image. → Please keep in mind that after setting the exposure correctly and applying your favorite look, you still need to adjust the basic settings of each image before going into the fine-tuning process. In particular, you’ll need to tweak the highlights, whites, shadows and blacks in the Basic panel of Lightroom.
