5 Presets You Need To Take Your Instagram Game To The Next Level’
Presets are filters which you can use on your Instagram posts to make them stand out and look professional. Presets are an amalgamation of a number of saved photo settings that can be applied to your photos to allow them to look a certain way.
Instagrammers use presets on their page to achieve a consistent professional looking page. Many, also now sell their own presets so that you can achieve a similar look with your posts.
The preset which you purchase is a DNG image (digital negative) which has all the changes made to it, such as tones and special effects saved. Therefore you can apply these settings easily rather than having to edit your image and all these factors separately. Once purchased, you can use it on Adobe Lightroom and apply the preset settings to your images.
