What is a Luminar Preset?

Presets are by definition a pre-defined adjustment that can be applied to any photography to give a consistent adjustment.

Now let’s clear things up – presets aren’t always a one-click solution despite the intention. Many photographers use presets to get 90% closer to their desired effect but still need to make refinements image to image.
