Brightened Expressions. The face is, of course, the soul of any portrait. It is crucial for the photographer to capture every expression. It can be challenging, however, if you are forced to shoot outdoors where you cannot fully control the weather. Lighting may be uneven; a gloomy weather can cast unwanted shadows on your model’s face.

This preset brightens portraits with an adjustment in vibrance and highlights. The woman’s face in the After photo above is clearly brighter now. Her skin looks smoother, too. You can see more of her eyes and the texture of her hair. This preset can bring out the details that you need to produce a captivating shot.
