About Our AI Preset Toolkits - Compatibility & FAQs

What are AI Presets?  AI presets are one-click tools that work from your presets tab in Lightroom to apply settings changes locally to a very specific attribute as detected by Adobe Sensei AI. With our AI tools we have combined our expert creative and corrective settings with this advanced AI detection for one-click retouching that feels like magic!

What does the AI do to my image? These presets are neither generative nor destructive. They are not meant to replace or alter the creative process, but rather speed up professional retouching via AI which detects for specific parts of each unique image to apply our retouch settings to those zones. These presets utilize AI to replace manual brushing, dialing in and refining, they do not replace your intuition, your eye, or fundamentally alter your art. They do NOT utilize generative credits. 

Can I use the AI presets in older software purchased outright, or the free mobile app? Unfortunately, no. Where general presets and traditional tool and brush presets can be used in earlier versions of Lightroom and photoshop, the AI adaptive presets do require a current subscription to Lightroom, Lightroom Classic or Photoshop for desktop, or the Premium Mobile app to function. Your software and OS must be up-to-date to ensure that these presets will function properly and that all current masking features are present! (learn more about preset types & compatibility in general HERE)

How do you install AI Tool Presets? For desktop, your new presets will install just like your traditional/general presets. You can learn how to install your presets HERE (sorted by Software).

Do the AI Tool Presets work on iPhone/iPad? As of July 2024, the Lightroom Mobile app on iOS/iPadOS supports XMP import. AI Adaptive presets will require the Premium (subscription) version of the Lightroom app to function. Additionally, the AI computing requires a newer iOS device on up-to-date OS (Earliest compatible devices: iPhone 11, iPad 10th Gen, Air 4th Gen, Pro 10th Gen; includes all later and currently offered devices). 

Do the AI Tool Presets work on Android? YES! The latest updates now allow full functionality of these presets on Android devices (Android phone, tablets, or Chromebooks). They can be imported directly into the Premium Lightroom mobile app on Android devices just like any other preset!

How do I use this type of preset? We’ll walk through using this collection in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (CC), Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw, and the Premium Lightroom Mobile App below! 

Introducing Adaptive Multi Presets

Our Adaptive Multi Presets are like pre-mixed recipes! They apply a series of the included single zone presets dialed in for a dynamic edit. Below are thumbnails of each Adaptive Multi preset applied at 100%. Want to see these closer? Right click the image and "Open Image in New Tab" or drag image into a new tab in your browser to zoom. Note: when using the presets on your images, we recommend adjusting strength with the Amount Slider to taste. 

15 Multi Adaptive Presets - These presets combine single-zone options as pre-mixed recipes. 

How to use Our AI Toolkits

Simply install your presets just like you would your normal presets! Our new AI Adaptive preset collections are considered retouching toolkits, but function with just one-click from your preset panel with your general presets.

These presets apply localized zone-specific corrections that can be applied before or after you edit your image with a global (or full image) preset, or custom toning in Lightroom.

We typically recommend getting your ideal edit right first before applying the tools to ensure they correct tones and atmosphere in alignment with your ideal final edit! 

Example Step 1: Apply your typical global (full-image) edit. Here we applied "Brilliant Spectacle" from Luxe Sports to this image by E3 Photography in Lightroom CC.

Example Step 2: Click to compute and apply AI Tool Preset from your new Luxe Multi-Sport AI Retouch Toolkit. Here we applied "Adaptive Multi - Still Portrait - Field Sports" to quickly adjust multiple subject and landscape zones in one touch.

We'll go through what to expect in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (CC), and Photoshop ACR in our example workflows below!: 

How to use AI Presets in Lightroom Classic (example workflow):

1. Edit your image, whether manually or with presets. Here we edited this image by E3 Photography with "Sports Spectacle" from Luxe Sports:
   
2. Apply AI Presets to taste. Here we applied "Adaptive Multi - Still Portrait: Extreme Sports" (Adjusted to 49%), "Background - Details Blurred" (Adjusted to 75%), "Background - Exposure Dimmed" (Adjusted to 39%), "Background - Highlights Pushed", "Subject - Skin Face & Body Softened", "Tool - Correction - Fix Indoor Pink Light" (Adjusted to 53%), "Tool - Effect - Flash Backlight Center II" (Adjusted to 15%):
   
   
   Note: as you hover over your new AI adaptive presets, allow a specific section to finish "detecting" so that the software can compute the masks needed to provide accurate previews of your AI tools. This will appear as a little black box reading "detecting..." over your image. Once a section (background, sky, subject eyes, etc.) has been detected, you can quickly hover to preview your other AI tools for that section before selecting one to apply! If you click on a preset without allowing it to finish "detecting" it will still apply, you may just see a pop-up with a progress bar as the software computes the attributes of your image and creates the new mask! Sometimes the background presets will preview as subject presets upon hover, but apply to the background once clicked. 
    
3. Adjust or remove applied masks as needed! 
   Your newly applied AI masks can be located under the dotted outline circle icon (Masking Tool) under the histogram on the right-hand side. From here you can expand your masking layers, and click into each labeled mask to adjust settings applied by the preset, hide masks to preview the image without them, add or subtract either parts of each mask or subtract the mask from specific people/subjects, or completely delete your applied mask!: 
   
   
   Applied an Adaptive Multi or Single Change Tool to a photo with more than one subject (or find that the subject mask selected and object you don't want included as a "subject", and need to remove the effect from that specific unwanted subject or object?
   
   To remove unwanted masks from a subject, click the Masking Tool under the Histogram, select the mask you'd like to adjust, and quickly remove a whole person. animal, or object via Subtract  > Objects:
   
   You'll then use a brush to indicate the unwanted subject/object and Lightroom will compute a clean subtraction from the layer: 
   
   
   Pro Tip for Lightroom Classic: Want to soften the effect of a mask? You can adjust your AI preset strength with the amount slider when you click to apply it and skip having to adjust it in your masks panel! 
   
   

How to use AI Presets in Lightroom CC (example workflow):

1. Edit your image, whether manually or with presets. Here we edited this image by E3 Photography with "Brilliant Spectacle" from Luxe Sports:
   

2. Apply AI Presets to taste. Here we applied "Background - Atmosphere Bokeh Glow", "Background - Details Focused", "Background - Highlights Pushed" (Adjusted to 64%), "Background - Tone Curve Medium Push", "Subject  - Eyes Iris & Sclera Fine-Tuned", "Subject - Hair & Brows Enhanced" (Adjusted to 87%), "Subject - Lips & Teeth Fresh Burst", "Subject - Skin Face & Body Defined" (Adjusted to 42%), "Subject - Whole Subject Selective Focus", "Tool - Correction - High ISO Clean up", "Tool - Effect - Element Fog Enhancer", "Tool - Effect - Flash Subject Spotlight (L)", " and "Tool - Finishing - Add Filmic Matte" (Adjusted to 87%):
   

   Note: as you hover over your new AI adaptive presets, allow a specific section to finish "detecting" so that the software can compute the masks needed to provide accurate previews of your AI tools. In Lightroom (CC) this will show as a little loading bar when you hover over one of your presets:
   
   Once a section (background, sky, subject eyes, etc.) has been detected, you can quickly hover to preview your other AI tools for that section before selecting one to apply! 
   
   Sometimes Lightroom (CC) experiences computational delays or skips. If you see a "No Masks"/"Masks cannot be found" error wait a moment, and if the effect doesn't apply, click it once more to try again. In the most recent update, depending on your preferences, the software may request that you update masks (via a new button on the right-hand toolbar) after applying. 

3. Adjust or remove applied masks as needed! 
   Your newly applied AI masks can be located under the dotted outline circle icon (Masking Tool) on the right-hand toolbar. From here you can view and expand your masking layers, and click into each labeled mask to adjust settings applied by the preset, hide masks to preview image without adjustments (select mask and toggle the little eye icon), add or subtract either parts of each mask or subtract the mask from specific people/subjects, or completely delete your applied mask via "... > Delete"!: 
   
   You can also select "Delete All Empty Masks" to remove masks for zones not detected in your image - like skies in images with no visible skyline.

4. Applied an Adaptive Multi or Single Change Tool to a photo with more than one subject (or find that the subject mask selected an object you don't want included as a "subject") and need to remove the effect from that specific unwanted subject/object?

   To remove unwanted masks from an aspect of your image, click the Masking Tool, select the mask you'd like to adjust, and quickly remove a whole person, animal, or object via Subtract  > Objects:
   
   
   You'll then use a brush or selection tool to indicate the unwanted subject/object and Lightroom will compute a clean subtraction from the layer: 

   
   
   Pro Tip for Lightroom CC: You can adjust your AI preset strength with the amount slider when you click to apply it and skip having to adjust it in your masks panel! 
   
   

How to use AI Presets in Photoshop ACR (example workflow):

1. Edit your image, whether manually or with presets. Here we edited this image by Matt Canterbury with the "Warm Celebration" preset from our Luxe Sports collection, adjusted to 43%: 
   
    
2. Apply AI Presets to taste: 
   
   Here we applied: "Background - Atmosphere Bokeh Glow" (Adjusted to 60%), "Background - Highlights Pushed", "Background - Shadows Deepened" (Adjusted to 52%), "Landscape Sky - Color Punchy", "Subject - Skin Face & Body Balanced", "Subject - Skin Face & Body Softened" (Adjusted to 50%), "Subject - Whole Subject Selective Focus", "Tool - Correction - High ISO Clean Up", "Tool - Effect - Flash Backlight Center II" (Adjusted to 20%), "Tool - Effect - Flash Subject Spotlight (L)" (Adjusted to 43%), "Tool - Effect - Vignette Black" (Adjusted to 50%), and "Tool - Finishing - Add Sharpening" 
   
   Note: as you hover over your new AI adaptive presets, you may experience a slight lag as the software computes the masks needed to provide accurate previews of your AI tools. Sometimes ACR will experience no delay at all, as Photoshop is built for this sort of computing, so you can quickly hover to preview your AI tools on your image live before selecting one to apply! 
    
3. Adjust or remove applied masks as needed! 
   Your newly applied AI masks can be located under the dotted outline circle icon (Masking Tool) on your right-hand toolbar.
   
   One of the easiest adjustments involves toggling mask visibility. Say you want to remove the background mask you added. Select the Mask layer you want to change and click on the little eye icon that appears to toggle off visibility of that mask: 
   
   
   From this panel, you can expand your masking layers, click into each labeled mask to adjust settings applied by the preset, add or subtract either parts of each mask, subtract the mask from specific people/subjects/objects, or completely delete your applied mask!:
   
   
   Applied an Adaptive Multi or Single Change Tool to a photo with more than one subject (or find that the subject mask selected and object you don't want included as a "subject", and need to remove the effect from that specific unwanted subject or object?
   
   To remove unwanted masks from a subject, click the Masking Tool under the Histogram, select the mask you'd like to adjust, and quickly remove a whole person. animal, or object via Subtract  > Objects:
   
   
   You'll then use a brush or rectangular selection to indicate the unwanted subject/object and Lightroom will compute a clean subtraction from the layer: 
   
   
   You can also adjust the strength of your masks via the "Amount Slider" upon application without going into your Masks! The amount slider will appear below the histogram at the top of your presets panel when a preset is applied:
   

How to use the AI presets in Lightroom Mobile (Premium App)

If you are new to editing on mobile, or new to using AI or Adaptive Presets in Lightroom mobile, we recommend reading over the info provided at the top of this article that breaks down the collection tools and compatibility, in detail! Below, you can view video guides demonstrating how to use these tools in the Premium Lightroom Mobile app on Android & iOS, featuring images by E3 Photography! 

Android:

iOS:

Notes to supplement video: 

• You do not have to edit your image before applying the AI Adaptive presets & Effects. You can use just these tools for a full photo edit. You can also change your global (full-image) edit or preset at any time and it won't change or affect applied AI Masks applied by this toolkit!
• We recommend adjusting preset strength as you go - once you stack another preset or make additional tweaks, it can sometimes may it trickier to go back and adjust preset amount.
• You can save your favorite combos of tools as your own custom Adaptive Multi preset for personal use by making sure that ONLY "Masking" is checked when you go to "Create Preset". 

How to Edit Your Masks

We go through where to find and edit your applied masks in each example workflow about for Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (CC), and Photoshop ACR Above! Here we'll go over how to find the masking tool, how to locate your add/subtract options, and how to remove select people from your mask (as the AI presets will apply the selected subject masks to all subjects in your image)! 

Finding the Masking Tool 
Once applied, you will find your masks under the dotted line circle icon (Masking Tool) on your software's develop toolbar:

This should look similar in all 3 programs, with only slight UI changes:


If your masks are not showing the full title of each layer or allowing you to click in and adjust (add/subtract) things easily, or toggle your layers off/on, you can expand by clicking either the >> << icon or the little arrow icon on the top right of your Masks panel:

How to find Add/Subtract Options to Adjust your Mask
Adding or subtracting from your mask is exactly what it sounds like, but with many different options for how you can select the parts your will add or subtract! 

With your Masks Panel expanded, simply click into the mask you would like to adjust, and click on "Add" or "Subtract" (+ or - if you Masks panel isn't expanded). You will then get several options to subtract from your mask. We recommend "Objects" when you want to remove a non-human subject or object that has been included in the subject selection, and "Brush" when you need to refine the edges of a mask.
