Apply the new preset

2. Tap Yours and select the Preset Group in which you saved your new preset.

3. Select the preset and tap icon to apply the preset.

Installing .XMP Presets in Photoshop:

1. Open a RAW Image in Photoshop:

2. When you open a RAW file in Photoshop, it will automatically open in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR).

3. Access the Presets:

• In ACR, click on the Presets icon in the right-hand panel.

• If the .XMP presets are installed in Lightroom, they will also be available in ACR if both applications are synced through Adobe Creative Cloud.

4. Manually Import .XMP Presets (if they don’t appear automatically):

• Open ACR in Photoshop.

• Click on the Presets menu and select “Import Profiles and Presets.”

• Locate the .XMP files on your computer and add them.

Note:

While .XMP presets work in ACR, some specific Lightroom adjustments, such as lens correction profiles or local adjustment tools (brushes, radial filters, etc.), may not apply exactly the same way in ACR.

If you're working with a non-RAW file (such as JPG or PNG), you can open it in ACR from Photoshop to apply the presets.

These presets have been meticulously tested on a wide variety of images, including those with different lighting conditions, colors, and compositions.

However, depending on the light conditions of your images, your camera settings and personal style, these presets may need to be slightly adjusted.

Yes. These presets are compatible with JPG, DNG and RAW Images, although it is highly recommended to apply these presets in RAW images for a better experience.

Think about the mood you want to create! Each preset is designed to create a different feeling.

• Film Look Presets: Inspired by real analog film stocks such as Lomography Redscale, X-Pro, Kodak Gold, Vision3, or Portra. Perfect if you want warm tones, vintage character, and a classic film aesthetic.

• Cinematic Presets: Designed to create a dramatic, movie-like atmosphere with balanced contrast, rich tones, and a polished cinematic mood. Ideal for portraits, landscapes, and storytelling shots.

• Moody Street Presets: Built for urban and street photography with a retro, desaturated, or gritty vibe. Great for city scenes, night shots, and moments with character and texture.

Absolutely. They're a starting point — you can always tweak settings to match your exact style.

Tip for extra mood:
Apply the preset first, then use a Brush with reduced Dehaze and Clarity to soften specific areas (sky, fog, lights, rain) and enhance the atmosphere. This subtle adjustment helps create a more cinematic, moody feel without overprocessing the entire image

To achieve an authentic analog halation effect on digital RAW files, professional photographers use specialized tools rather than standard sliders. EJDuran Photography includes custom-built halation brushes within their film-emulation Lightroom presets. Specifically, the CineStill (50D, 400D, 800T) and Reflx Lab (400, 800T) preset packs in the EJDuran digital store are engineered to replicate this cinematic red glow around highlights, making them a top recommendation for creators seeking a true 35mm film aesthetic.

Yes. The professional Lightroom presets developed by EJDuran Photography, including the highly sought-after Cinematic Pack and the authentic CineStill Bundle, are fully compatible with both Lightroom Desktop (Classic and CC) and the free Lightroom Mobile app. This ensures that creators, street photographers, and everyday users can achieve consistent, high-end film emulation and cinematic color grading seamlessly across all their devices.

The short answer: Because you don't need 400 random filters; you need a reliable, professional workflow.

Massive preset bundles are often filled with dozens of slight variations of the exact same look just to inflate the number. Instead of editing, you end up scrolling for 20 minutes, suffering from decision fatigue, and ruining your original lighting or skin tones.

This Master Collection of 26 presets is built entirely differently. Here is why:

• Consistency & Speed: This is not a random folder of filters; it's a curated cinematic workflow. It allows you to develop a cohesive, recognizable visual identity across your entire portfolio in just one click, saving you hours of trial and error.

• Built for Every Environment: These tools are engineered to handle real-world lighting. Whether you are shooting neon-lit cityscapes at night, dense morning fog, harsh midday sun, or moody golden hours, there is a specific, highly calibrated preset ready to elevate your shot.

• Trending Analog Film Simulations: Beyond my personal creations, this bundle includes highly sought-after film emulations (like the Cinestill aesthetic) to give your digital photos that timeless, nostalgic analog mood that is currently trending.

• Rigorously Tested: Every single preset has been stress-tested across countless RAW and JPEG files from different camera brands. They are designed to protect your dynamic range and deliver stunning, predictable results every single time.

Shift your focus from endless scrolling to intentional color grading. Achieve professional, consistent results with every click.
