Discount pricing ends Monday!
I’ll be launching these presets to the public in the next week but as a blog visitor you get early access and a reduction on the price.

You can grab them here for Luminar Neo, here for Lightroom Classic or here as a bundle of both. All with the discount pre-applied. Have fun!

And here is a quick preview…

Get ready to spice up your Luminar and Lightroom game with my 2025 Preset Packs, the most fun and creative collections to ever hit your feed! Each contains 15 brand new Presets. From the sultry glow of Applebees Flair (because nothing screams romance like unlimited mozzarella sticks) to the edgy vibes of Undies Crust Confusion (perfect for that post-apocalyptic party look), these presets are your ticket to standing out in a sea of boring filters. Whether you’re channeling Extreme Horseplay for your ranch-core selfies or diving into the monochrome Slippery Jacuzzi following beach days gone wild, I’ve got your back—with effects so bold, they’ll make your viewers double-tap faster than a CSI Bluelight Surprise in a private jet! And if there is a little too much staining, remember in Lightroom and Luminar, you can move that slider to drop it down to 50% or whatever feels good for your photo. Or, if you just gotta have more Biohazard-Pants-cowbell, you can move it all the way up to 200%. It’s up to you. Just you and your slider… no questions asked.

Who says editing has to be dull? Download now for Luminar Neo, Lightroom Classic or a bundle of both.

Made it this far? Well, here’s a bonus preset created image for you…



As mentioned above, you can grab them here for Luminar Neo, here for Lightroom Classic or here as a bundle of both. All with the discount pre-applied.

A QUICK UPDATE: This crazy deal ends on the 13th of February (TOMORROW) when the bundle returns to $99. So if you want to grab this price, it’s pretty much now or never! And remember, the FILES will remain available for download for the foreseeable future. It’s a pretty huge download for the whole pack, so no need to rush to grab them when you buy. They’re hosted at Amazon and will remain active and waiting for you. 🙂

A year or so ago I bundled all of my existing store content (presets, video tutorials, ebooks, etc) into one mega bundle for a ridiculously low price. I’ve now updated that with my new 2024 presets and for a limited time, in some crazy reverse logic sort of way, lowered the price further! So, for a short time you can get pretty much everything I’ve ever released on the store for just $24.99 HERE… and yes, it’s both new preset packs that are now included. One for Lightroom Classic and one for Luminar Neo! Have Fun!

I sat down for a fun chat with Jakub Bors a couple of weeks ago to discuss photography, creativity, my new presets (available here) and more. It’s available to view now…

If you’re visiting the site after watching my interview with the awesome Jakub here’s a nice quick and easy link to the new preset pack! And here’s an image created with one of them… have fun. 🙂

I’m excited to release these really fun and beautiful presets for you! I’ve been squirreling them away as I journeyed around the world over the past couple of years so they work in all sorts of scenarios, as you’ll see in the sample photos and videos.

And even better, you can get them for Lightroom Classic or Luminar NEO.

As a blog visitor you get a $5 discount on each of the packs. Just use the code BLOGLR for the Lightroom pack and BLOGLN for the Neo pack at checkout to receive the discounts.

There’s a mix for color and black and white situations and they’re super easy to apply. Just a few clicks. There’s also a slick slider in Luminar and Lightroom that allows you to adjust the extremity of the filter if you find it is a little overkill. Keep in mind though, that not all presets look good on all images. In fact, some will make some of your images look terrible… then there are others that love to be combined with a couple of others*. Poly presets if you will. We’re inclusive here, no judgement. Actually, experimentation is encouraged. Feel free to get hands on and tweak after you apply them.

(*I’m looking at you Mister Absorbent and Backseat Cougar… oh, did I mention that my preset names don’t exactly confirm to the norms?)

Here’s a look at the preset pack…

And here are some example images:

Here are those links and discounts again…Lightroom Classic or Luminar NEO.

I’ll release some new presets soon! Do you get my newsletter? It’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, and I do! Usually that’s where I release stuff first and sometimes exclusively. Anyway, if you want added just email [email protected] with the subject Presets and we’ll sort you out with news… In the last newsletter I asked if people wanted more presets and for which applications. It was actually a 50/50 split of Lightroom and Luminar! I haven’t released any in over two years, so I’m going through the process now of re-organizing and packaging them. Luminar is a little clumsy for installing them. Anyhoo… we’re on the case talking to Skylum to solve that! Here’s one I just finished editing with one of the new presets!

If you missed the newsletter over the weekend (or the post yesterday about it) then you may have missed the recent Luminar news. So here it is… In a past newsletter, I talked a little bit about how my main workflow has moved away from Aurora HDR to Luminar Neo, now that it has HDR functionality available. That has continued to be the case and every image you saw in recent blog posts was processed on Luminar Neo. It’s a great bit of software and it has been interesting to watch it evolve. Most recently Skylum (finally!) added panorama functionality which removes yet another reason to stick with alternate software. You should definitely check it out. 🙂

Here’s a quick and fun review of Luminar Neo! You can use the code TREY10 to get $10 off the yearly or lifetime plans. For those of you who are existing Aurora HDR users, that entitles you to grab the HDR extension for Neo with special pricing, depending on the version you have and for some of you that might even mean free! Just be sure to sign up for Neo with the same email you used to register Aurora HDR to get access to the best pricing. 🙂

Before we begin, here’s an image I’ve produced with Neo to get you in the mood…

Luminar AI – Processing Landscapes With People in Them

Luminar AI (launched yesterday!) is great for landscapes and portraits… in this quick look vid I process an image that is somewhere in between using templates, sky replacement, adding mist/fog and more. Grab Luminar AI here.

Daily Photo – Taking photos in New Zealand with Brandin Cooks

Here’s my buddy Brandin Cooks here in New Zealand when we went to go explore Skipper’s Canyon. This guy is such a badass… If you follow the NFL, then you know he has played for a bunch of teams and is now in Houston, being even more of a badass. As you can tell from his photography positioning, he’s even a badass when he takes photos!

Landscapes with Luminar AI

I’ve been using Luminar for a while now, along with Aurora HDR, as my main software for processing images. It’s just so powerful and feature packed which makes editing images even more fun than normal. Recently I got hold of the new Luminar AI which replaces Luminar 4 and it’s great. There is a bunch of AI based stuff on the front end which helps you select templates (think presets) which is great for beginners or to inspire some ideas for processing. For those of us who want to get hands on that is still an option and there are a bunch of new sliders to play around with. Check out the vid below where I process a landscape image and if you’re interested in grabbing the software you can do so here. 🙂

Daily Photo – Evening Storm Rolling into Naples

I can see why Florida has a huge appeal to people who are the beachy sorts. I don’t actually think I am the beachy sort… I’m more the mountainy sort. But I’d do that split about 70/30. I certainly don’t hate the beach and I’ve been having a great time exploring all the beaches on the North Island of NZ. Nothing against Florida or anything, but I think I like the beaches here a bit more because they are so remote you hardly see anyone else… makes it easy for a fun skinny dip or two.
