Before You Buy
HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS. IF YOU ALREADY MADE A PURCHASE & HAVING A PROBLEM, SCROLL DOWN.
BEFORE YOUR PURCHASE
WHAT ARE PRESETS?
What’s the difference between normal presets and mobile ones?
‘Normal’ standard presetsare compatible with Adobe Lightroom Classic. Please familiarise yourself with the program before purchase and double check your computer would be compatible to run it (all the recent computers will be, however if you have an old computer, please download the program first before purchase. Lightroom desktop requires a monthly subscription of $15 and only work on desktop, not mobile so the presets bought for desktop will not work on your phone. Mobile presets are compatible with Lightroom app available on iTunes for iPhones and Google Play for Andorid. It’s a FREE app and does not require a monthly subscription. After a short set up, you’ll be able to switch between filters just like in VSCO.
ARE THE EXACT SAME PRESETS YOU USE, AGGIE?
DO I GET A GUARANTEE THE PRESETS WILL WORK FOR ME?
No you don’t. YOU DO GET A GUARANTEE these are the exact presets I use and have been using for the last couple of years on my feed. Actually, I believe that if something is good for everything, it’s good for nothing. I have no idea if my style of coloring is something you like & want in your photos. What I’m offering here are my exact presets I use to edit my photos. You can see my IG page & take it as a proof they work or check out happy customers page. Once you buy them, you can see if my coloring is something you like and works for you and your photography vision or tweak them to match your style. Worst case scenario you have access to ALL the information of how I adjust my photo settings.
WILL MY PHOTOS LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOURS?
I hope not! There are so many things that influence the final outcome of a photo, I hope these presets will become the beginning of your photography journey.
-
Location (sky has a different colour in Bora Bora vs Finland, forest in Switzerland will look different than the Amazon jungle even though they are both green)
-
Lighting (indoor/outdoor, time of the day, time of the year, angle of the sun, clouds/no clouds)
-
Camera (Canon, Sony and Nikon all give their photos slightly different colours. On top of that, photos from Canon 6d will look slightly different than photos from Canon 1DX)
-
Lens (Sigma Art lenses vs Canon, Nikon - same thing)
-
Camera Settings (how you set your ISO, whether you shoot your photo under or overexposed)
-
Skin Tones (everyone has a different skin tone - I get very orange skin using other people’s presets - you might find my skin tones might not work with yours)
-
Whether you shoot in RAW or JPEG ( I’m explaining the difference later)
Are they the only presets I will ever need?
How do I make the best of the presets?
How are these presets different than other available on the market?
Are the presets compatible with photoshop?
What happens if I don’t like the presets?
AFTER YOU PURCHASE THE PRESETS
Thanks so much for trusting me & purchasing my presets. I’m excited to help you in your photography journey. Please keep in mind that I’m a travel blogger with a very limited access to the Internet when traveling so my sister answers all the emails (please don’t DM me as in most cases I need access to a desktop computer to help you and my sister is just way better at handling everything). The email is aggielal.assistant@gmail.com
::::
With that said, I am not a big company, but a normal girl who loves photography and was asked by her followers to share her presets. It’s just me & my sister doing our best to get back to everyone asap. Please be understanding & read the answers to the questions below before you reach out to us as it’s usually faster that way.
WHERE ARE MY PRESETS? I PURCHASED THEM AN HOUR AGO AND STILL DIDN’T GET THEM.
Once you order the presets, you will receive 2 emails. One will be an order confirmation & the other the zipped presets files.
- If you got the confirmation email, but not the email with the order, please be patient. Sometimes it takes up to 20-30 minutes. If you still haven’t received it, it means the shop can’t process your payment right away (sometimes some banks block certain internet purchases). Please check with your bank & email us.
- If you haven’t got the confirmation email, it means you must have misspelled your email address. Please email us at aggielal.assistant@gmail.com with a full name & email you want to use & we will get you all set!
AGGIE HELP! MY MOBILE PRESETS DON’T WANT TO OPEN ON MY PHONE.
Yes, that’s because you try to open them on your phone first. I mention in the product description to download the files on your computer first, because most phone don’t unzip the files well. Once you download the attachment, unzip it and airdrop it/ bluetooth it to your phone.
I CAN’T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT! THE FILES LOOK WEIRD.
Presets files are huge and so they come in a zipped file. You will need to unzip the file first (it’s usually just a double click, but here is a guide). Once you do it, you’ll find a guide attached (for mobile presets) & so just follow the steps.
HOW DO I ADJUST MY SKIN TONE? IT LOOKS WEIRD!
The beauty of human skin is amazing. We all have a slightly different shade and even my own skin tone changes depending on how tan I am & whether I’m staying in a shadow or full sun. Skin tones aka orange tones is the number one adjustment you will need to make on your own. I used to be afraid that my presets won’t work for brunettes or black skin, but the more people use my presets, the more I see that it had nothing to do with the darkness as much as the undertone of your skin — is it pink, green, orange, violet? I even attached a free preset ‘brunette’ for you to see what you think, but honestly there is no set rule. Adjusting your skin tone right is not hard, check out my tutorial to learn how to do it in less than 2 mins here.
