Amplifies Contrast and Moderates Exposure

Vivid Colors. Mostly Clear preset balances exposure and contrast to produce deep yet nuanced hues. It intensifies them by increasing contrast and slightly lowering exposure.

As you can observe in the example above, the preset makes the colors pop more and brings out their intricate shades. Notice how the hues appear more vivid on the man’s outfit and the ground. The resulting image is much more compelling and captivating because of these fundamental tweaks.

Brightens and Preserves Detail

Brightened Tones. The preset brightens tones yet also moderates highlights to preserve as much detail as possible. Because of these adjustments, the After photo looks more illuminated, without highlights being overblown.

To create this brilliant look, Mostly Clear lightens blacks and shadows, and softens whites and highlights. These are finely adjusted to produce balanced tones.

You can observe the result in the above After image. The woman’s black pants look less black but show more texture. The expression on her face is now more visible, too. Lastly, look at her orange shirt and see how the brightening complements the intensified colors.

Applies Fine Adjustments in Saturation

Saturated. One of the notable characteristics of this preset is how it produces bold colors. It creates a custom saturation tone curve that helps heighten blues and oranges — a nice balance of warm and cool hues. You can notice this the most when looking at the clothing of the subjects in the above image. With all these color adjustments, you will get crisp and strong colors each time.

See how this is even further refined in the last example below.

Sets a Custom Camera Calibration

Punchy Colors. Mostly Clear preset finely enhances colors in the camera calibration panel. It specifically boosts the saturation of red, green, and blue primary channels. To make sure that it isn’t overdone, it also, oppositely, lowers the saturation of all colors in Lightroom’s HSL panel.

It is good to note that these improvements look stunning on landscapes with lush greens and clear blue skies. You can examine the above After photo and see how the preset can make an entire scene look lively.
