How It
Works
From inspiration to a reusable look — in seconds.
PresetLab analyzes the underlying color and tonal structure of your reference image and converts it into a reusable Lightroom preset. No guessing. No manual tweaking. Just a consistent aesthetic you can apply anywhere.
Capture Inspiration
Start with any image you love
See a look on Instagram, Pinterest, or anywhere online? Take a screenshot or upload the image directly into PresetLab. We don’t need the original file — just the visual reference.
Supported inputs
- Screenshot
- JPEG / PNG
- Any camera or platform
Aesthetic DNA Extraction
Technical analysis, not visual guessing
PresetLab breaks down your reference image into its core visual components to create a reusable Aesthetic DNA profile.
Analysis layers
- Exposure & contrast balance
- Highlight and shadow distribution
- White & black point behavior
- Color temperature & saturation bias
- HSL color relationships
- Luminance & tone curve structure
Preset Reconstruction
Your look, rebuilt as a preset
Using the extracted Aesthetic DNA, PresetLab generates a Lightroom preset that mirrors the feel of the reference — not just its colors.
Reconstruction Goals
- Adapts to different lighting
- Works across multiple images
- Maintains stylistic consistency
Apply & Refine
Instant use, full control
Download your preset and apply it in Lightroom (desktop or mobile). PresetLab gets you most of the way there — fast.
Workflow
- Use it as-is
- Make small personal adjustments
- Apply it across an entire shoot
Build Your Library
Save looks. Reuse them. Stay consistent.
Every preset you generate is saved to your PresetLab library, making it easy to maintain a consistent visual identity.
Library Benefits

Questions
Is this copying someone else’s preset?
No. PresetLab does not extract or duplicate proprietary presets. We analyze visual characteristics and reconstruct them independently.
Will it work on different photos?
Yes — within reason. Expect 80–90% consistency, depending on lighting and subject matter.
Who is this for?
Beginners who want great results fast, and professionals who want speed and consistency.
