No Such Thing as a
Perfect One-Click Preset

Over the years I’ve spent thousands of dollars studying and testing presets from many of the biggest creators in the photography industry.

One thing became very clear: there is no such thing as a perfect one-click preset. Lighting conditions, camera sensors, color science, exposure, and white balance all influence the final result.

What great presets provide is a strong, consistent foundation. The Santa Fe Collection was designed to give photographers a cinematic base that works across a wide range of situations while still allowing room for creative refinement.

FAQS

  • Our presets are built for Adobe Lightroom (Classic, CC, and Mobile). Designed to work seamlessly across RAW and JPEG files for maximum flexibility.

  • Yes! Whether you’re shooting Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, or even iPhone—these presets are crafted to adapt across all camera systems. Minor tweaks may be needed depending on lighting and file type. We shoot mainly with Canon & Panasonic, but we've also edited many second shooter images shot with Sony.  Key ingredient is shooting RAW.

  • 100%. We provide fully compatible presets that work with Lightroom Mobile so you can edit on the go and still get that signature Santa Fe look.

  • Absolutely. One-click starting points with pro-level results. If you can tap a preset, you can elevate your photos. Fine-tuning is optional, not required. Please see our tutorials for more info.

  • Due to the digital nature of presets, all sales are final. That said, we’ve got your back—if you run into issues, we’re here to help you get dialed in.

  • They’re designed to perform across a wide range of lighting conditions, but no preset is one-size-fits-all. Think of them as a powerful foundation—small adjustments (exposure, white balance) will get you perfect results every time.
