Why a Preset Library Pays For Itself

Every time you rebuild a look from sliders, you introduce drift. A preset library saves the exact recipe and replays it on demand, keeping your brand color signature locked across months and years of content.

Retouchable lets you save any graded look as a reusable reference. Once saved, new uploads can be graded against that reference with one click, so your whole team inherits your brand's color decisions automatically.

How It Works with Retouchable

Create a Hero Graded Image

Grade one image until it matches your brand's target look exactly.

Save It as a Reference

Store the graded image in your Retouchable library as a named preset.

Apply to Every Future Shoot

Upload new photos and select the saved preset to grade them to match automatically.

5 Tips for a Useful Preset Library

Name Presets by Purpose

"Brand Hero 2026" beats "Preset 37". Clear naming makes the library usable by teammates who weren't there when you made it.

Limit the Library Size

Five strong presets beat fifty mediocre ones. Prune anything you haven't used in three months.

Document the Intent

Note what each preset is for: PDP neutral, social hero, fall campaign. Intent matters more than technical settings.

Version Carefully

When you update a preset, keep the old version around until you're sure the new one is better. Brand consistency beats novelty.

Share With Freelancers

Give photographers and editors access to your preset library so their output lands inside your brand guardrails from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import existing Lightroom presets?

Not directly. Instead, apply a Lightroom preset to one image, upload that image as a reference, and save it as a Retouchable preset.

How many presets can I save?

You can save as many as you need. We recommend keeping the library small and intentional rather than sprawling.

Can I share presets with freelancers?

Yes. Give team members access so their uploads automatically use your brand references.

What if I want to update a preset?

Save a new version with a clear name. Keep the old one until you're confident the new version is the right call.
