This collection of presets for Lightroom from David Kingham is extensive. They thoroughly cover just about anything that a photographer could think of trying to do in post processing using Lightroom.

These presets have been a game changer for me. They made the whole process of working on a picture so much easier and clearer. Instead of starting to play around with the different options and trying to figure out what I can do, these tools show me the different options, and then I can choose which ones work for me. The starting point presets are wonderful in helping me figure out the best tones to start with. So, instead of playing with the tone curve for quite some time till I get something I like, I can, with one press, see what the different options provide, and this makes this step so quick and easy. Then, the tools that allow me to look only at the shapes or the colors are a huge help to see how my composition works and what I need to tweak. Instead of imagining the shapes, I can just see them and make choices. In the tonal adjustment presets, I truly appreciate the ability to dodge and burn only highlights, as it makes the whole process really easy. The color adjustment presets again give you so many options for what you want to change and what you want to do. The ability to play around with the different options and see what works is a real-time saver. These presets also have different special tools - like sculpting clouds, reducing highlights in the sky, and so much more. Now, it takes me 15 minutes to edit a picture compared to more than 45 minutes, and the result is so much better. I couldn't ask for a better set of tools to make editing quick and fun.
I have attended many workshops with David and Jennifer, as well as workshops lead by other photographers. In my experience, David and Jennifer are truly the best in the business. Their attention to detail in the planning, execution, and follow up creates a valuable learning environment for all levels of photographers. The recent winter workshop to Yellowstone National Park was not only the best photography workshop I have participated in, but it was also the best travel experience of my life. I look forward to attending many more workshops with Exploring Exposure.
