Amplifies Light and Color

Brilliance. Christmas in April amplifies both light and color. These two fundamental elements are, after all, essential to setting the right mood.

For this, the preset increases both exposure and contrast. These help quickly transform images from dreary to joyful. Combine these tweaks to the tinting above and you get a Christmas motif that you can use throughout the year.

For the winter season, especially when shooting winter scenes that are covered in snow, we recommend that you also try several of our free winter Lightroom presets.

Deepens Tones for Greater Depth

Crisp Tones. With the light and color set, the preset proceeds to enhance tones. It does so to complement and moderate its previous boost in brightening.

To do this, Christmas in April deepens and darkens highlights and shadows to add depth. This also helps elements look much more defined.

Let us examine the After photo above. The woman’s portrait looks crisp and vivid. She seems to stand out more from the background. Even with the warm color temperature, you can also notice how the preset intensifies the black of her dress.

Moderated Whites and Midtones

Softened. The example above demonstrates how the preset handles light tones and midtones. It softens whites and clarity, therefore moderating midtone contrast. Because of these adjustments, you wouldn’t have to worry about your photo looking overdone or artificial; Christmas in April preset makes sure that every photographic element retains its natural look — but better. You can examine the preset’s bright yet naturally vibrant greens in the After photo above.

Adds Texture for a Professional Look

Polished Look. As a finishing touch, the preset improves the photo’s overall texture. It sharpens details, reduces noise, and adds soft vignetting.

As you can see in the above example, the details pop more yet there is also a smooth haze coating the image. The combination of these adjustments completes the yearlong look and feel of Christmas! The result of this preset always looks so polished, and that’s why we consider this as a professional preset that you should always keep on your Lightroom preset panel.
