Get a brief introduction into a collection of the best Lightroom HDR presets suitable for wedding, portrait, landscape, and architecture photography.

The presets featured below come especially in handy if you edit photos taken in bright sunlight or low light. In this case, the camera can’t deal with a full range of light, and accordingly, the photo loses its detail, appears too dull, and lacks contrast.
