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.

01

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
02

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
Extracted Confidence80–90%

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.

This is not a filter. It’s a reusable editing baseline.

Reconstruction Goals

  • Adapts to different lighting
  • Works across multiple images
  • Maintains stylistic consistency
04

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

Common
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.
