Michelle Mckay - The Happiness Collection

Preset Details

As a collection, Happiness is an energetic, effortlessly elevated selection of presets that offer freshness and vibrancy.

The Happiness Collection features 12 punch-packing colour presets that aim to maintain accuracy across all hues, and a warm, easy to adore B&W.

Allow me to briefly describe the preset families you’ll discover in The Happiness Collection, designed and intended to make the editing process both efficient and fun!

Frankie

Frankie was originally developed to make your whites delicious and crisp, and it really rocks in hospital and urban settings, providing a result that boasts vibrancy, depth, and brights as fresh as a sunny winter’s day. To make Frankie even more versatile, I’ve added 2 green adjustment add-ons, for when you’re using Frankie on work made in the wild!

Goldie

You’ll find Goldie to be a much more subdued choice; she’s excellent when you need or desire to dial back an image for a result that’s far more delicate or low key.

Luca

Luca brings a filmic energy reminiscent of fuji film. Luca’s vibes will introduce a carefree and understated softness and nostaglia to your work that for many will quickly become irresistible.

Rascals

This is the most colourful and punchy of the collection. Rascals screams innocence, childhood and summer sunshine, and is fantastic for all your happy outdoor memories and documenting.

Sylvie

My intent when I created the Sylvie preset was to develop a look that was natural and true, but also effortlessly elevated, and with a subtle kick (just like my gal Sylvie, for whom this preset is named). It’s for when you want clean, but with an unapologetic packed punch.

August B&W

The August B&W is very much its own thang (hence the name - it’s a loving nod to my very own son)! It’s warm, unique, and easy to adore.

… then there are the add-ons (it’s like an a la carte menu, but for editing!)

As with some of our other preset collections, Happiness comes with add-ons; one click presets that can be layered onto the base presets to help you quickly realise your unique style and vision.

They do what their descriptions suggest - reduce in-built grain (if it’s not to your taste), minimising noise if you shot in low light, resetting lens corrections, and there are a couple of add-ons that tweak calibration in a single click, and that are mainly for our birth workers, though you may find you need them from time to time (possibly especially if you photograph newborns).

IMPORTANT: THE HAPPINESS COLLECTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN XMP FORMAT. THERE ARE NO LRTEMPLATE VERSIONS OF THESE PRESETS. PLEASE CONFIRM WHICH FILE TYPE IS ACCEPTED BY YOUR VERSION OF LIGHTROOM BEFORE PURCHASING (if you use a super old version of Lightroom you may need to upgrade).

These presets are compatible with Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.

A mobile friendly version of the presets is also included in this purchase - just a little way to say I love you! You’ll find the instructions bundled in with the rest of your goodies! Desktop access is not required to access the mobile compatible presets, so if you’re currently a mobile only user, just follow the directions to get started right away!
