The Luxe Stack-Its Color Pop presets are uniquely crafted as quick stacking tools to provide powerful final touches to your images for a unique and professional edit, no matter the general preset used. 

How does this collection work? We recommend that after addressing any present lighting issues in your image with exposure and white balance corrections, that you first apply a standard/general preset from an appropriate collection. Then, for final professional-grade refinements to your image, you can apply 1 preset from each category of stack-its. Select your category based on the unique needs of your image. (It is not necessary to use a preset from each category, simply mix and match those fit for your image.)
