When traveling, I love to document the various cities that I pass through. Comparing the unique environment of each location is always fun. It’s amazing how quickly you can recognize a city simply based on its architecture and layout.
Editing for each cityscape presents unique challenges. Photos in brighter locations with more sunlight require highlights adjustments, whereas darker cities can benefit from matte shadows and softened shade.
To help you out, we put together this free cityscape Lightroom Presets download! It includes some fun effects for processing your photos from the city.
This freebie includes 4 unique presets with street and urban styles for a variety of uses along with help files to get you started. Learn how to install Lightroom Presets.
