Inspired by the Merced river in California, this preset pack is perfect for editing grandiose vistas and scenery as well as gorgeous waterfalls and landscapes.

This pack of presets has some serious analog and vintage vibes to it, we’ve even included some light leak presets to round things up and really make this pack a true companion to your landscape photos.

The Merced presets pack contains presets that work great to replicate the aesthetics of the “blue hour” and the “golden hour“. You’ll find some dramatic golden tones and high contrast in this set.

The latest version of Adobe Lightroom (cloud or desktop) is required to use the presets included in the Merced preset pack. The presets are backward compatible with LR 4, 5, 6 but keep in mind that some adjustments such as Texture or Dehaze didn’t exist in earlier versions of Lightroom and thus are not applied to the lrtemplate presets. Every single presets is also compatible with the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw (10.3 or newer). All the included presets work great with RAW and JPG photos.

Don't take our word for it. Here are some of the things people have said about our presets.

I have been using your presets on all the works I have done since I downloaded them. They are my go-to settings in Lightroom. They really make my photos pop. Thank you! – Max Breadon

I'm able to work faster and the Lightroom presets always give me great results. Work smarter so you can spend more time in the field. – Carlton Phelps

So far I love your presets, they are beautiful. And I love how you gave step-by-step instructions on how to add them to my Lightroom Develop Presets collection. – Jennifer Smith

[...] getting these presets has been the most solid purchase I have made in a very long time. I use them all the time. [...] I’m finding images I never thought I’d print, but now I look at them and wonder how creative I can get with your presets! – Mike Sturgeon

I purchased the Complete Presets Bundle and have no regrets. It covers just about eveything you need for your photographic work. The price is very reasonable compared to other preset companies. For value for money I would highly recommend these presets. – Jim Robb

Incredible and easy to use. I used VSCO before but the look I wanted was not easily attainable. These presets are more in line with what I see in my head when taking photographs, and otherwise provide a nice base to build off of. 10/10! – Mike Maloney

If one's new to Lightroom I would highly suggest this bundle once you get familiar with all of your settings. This will make life a little easier for some of the newer people using Lightroom. A+ – Alexander Inglis

I found the presets to be very effective and easy to use. The service provided by your staff was both prompt and courteous. – Marvin Baer

This bundle is fantastic – it contains all the presets you are likely to need, and the customer service and response time from Contrastly is fantastic – highly recommended! – Richard Smith

Great presets for Lightroom. Saving a lot of time in post editing and allowing me more time to be out shooting more pictures. The results I get from a click-and-go preset are exceptional. Well worth the money invested against the time saved. – Darryn Howard

The presets are a great addition to my workflow. They give me the ability to quickly apply unique characteristics to each photo, saving me an enormous amount of time [...] I've also been impressed the customer service! My emails have been answered promptly and thoroughly. – Chris Freeman

I have only used a few of the presets so far, but they are wonderful. They make a significant and helpful difference to my RAW files. I have bought many Lightroom presets, but only end up using products from a few sources. Contrastly will join that select group. – David Faulkner

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question? We are here to help!

What software are the Contrastly presets compatible with?

The presets in this pack are compatible with the latest version of Lightroom and Lightroom Classic. They are also compatible with LR 4/5/6, but some adjustments like the Texture or Dehaze sliders didn't exist back then so there's limited compatibility. For the most part this doesn't affect results much. The presets are also compatible with Adobe Camera Raw 10.3+ (ACR). And yes, the presets can also be synced with the iOS or Android Lightroom mobile apps.

What are the system requirements for using those presets?

The presets will work on both Mac and Windows computers. You need to have Adobe Lightroom (cloud or desktop) or Adobe Camera Raw (10.3+) installed on your computer. You can also use the presets in the Lightroom CC mobile app (but they need to be installed on a computer first and then synced to the app).

When will I receive my download link for my order?

Once you complete your purchase you will receive 2 emails: the first one is a receipt that details the transaction, and the second email contains your login information. Those emails are usually sent right away.
