01// THE EDITING BOTTLENECK

YOUR EDITING SHOULD MOVE YOU FORWARD

The whistle blows, the match ends, and you’re left looking at a card with 3,000 frames. Finding a cohesive look, wrestling with shifting stadium lights, and manually balancing color across different halves. Burning hours you could spend shooting or landing new clients.

⏳ THE 2-AM EDITING SLUMP
Wasting precious hours trying to find a clean starting point for a gallery.

😤 INCONSISTENT MATCH LOOKS
Struggling to keep color grading uniform when lighting changes from day to night.

🎓 GUESSWORK COLOUR SCIENCE
Spending years experimenting instead of establishing a reliable, professional workflow.

STOP GUESSING!

These presets give you an elite tier foundation straight out of the box, engineered specifically for high-paced sports environments while keeping 100% of your creative control.

02// Before and After

SAME MOMENT. DIFFERENT FEEL.

Developed through careful refinement, these presets bring a consistent sense of depth and atmosphere to a wide range of images, while leaving room for each photograph to retain its own character.

03// THE FULL COLLECTION [BEST VALUE]

THE COMPLETE SPORTS EDITING ECOSYSTEM

Your entire post production workflow, unified. Get every color preset, monochrome grade, and precision control kit I use on professional assignments.

04// refinement tools

GLOBAL SLIDERS ONLY GET YOU SO FAR

A great base preset gets you 80% there. The final 20% is isolating the athlete from a messy stadium background, adding depth to the pitch, and drawing the eye straight to the action, this requires precision tools.

Built around the exact local adjustments used in professional sports workflows, the Control Pack gives you surgical command over light and focus without overcomplicating your layers.

➡️ SUBJECT MASKS
Target the main subject for selective refinements, where supported.

➡️ LINEAR GRADIENTS
Make gradual adjustments across selected areas.

➡️ RADIAL GRADIENTS
Create local emphasis through controlled adjustments.

➡️ LUMINANCE MASKS AND OVERLAYS
Refine tonal areas and apply the adjustments included in the kit.

05// Find your tools

BUILT FOR YOUR WORKFLOW

From your first experiments with colour to a more controlled professional editing process, find the tools that fit how you work.

06// FORGED IN THE FIELD

TESTED UNDER THE BRIGHTEST FLOODLIGHTS

I didn't engineer these presets in a sterile studio. They were built and refined frame by frame on the sidelines, dealing with harsh midday sun, glaring stadium floodlights, muddy turf, and contrasting team kits.

These are the exact tools I rely on to deliver professional galleries under punishing matchday deadlines. 

They aren't designed to make every photographer look identical. They are designed to give you a bulletproof foundation to build your own distinct signature style.

07// EDITING PHILOSOPHY

A PRESET IS A STARTING POINT. NOT A FINISHED IMAGE.

Apply a preset to establish a base look, then make the adjustments your photograph needs.

➡️ EXPOSURE AND WHITE BALANCE
Every image has different lighting. Adjust brightness and colour temperature to suit the original photograph.

➡️ HIGHLIGHTS, SHADOWS AND WHITES
Fine-tune the tonal balance and preserve the details you want to retain.

➡️ LOCAL REFINEMENTS
Use the Control Kit where targeted adjustments are appropriate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHO ARE THESE PRESETS FOR?

They are designed for sports and football photographers, from beginners looking for a starting point to experienced photographers who want to experiment with new looks and refine their workflow.

WILL THE PRESETS EDIT MY PHOTOS PERFECTLY IN ONE CLICK?

No preset can account for every exposure, lighting condition or camera profile. Each preset provides a starting look, which you can refine to suit the original photograph.

DO I NEED HIGH-END PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT?

No. The results depend on the source image, but you do not need a professional camera to learn and experiment with the presets. RAW files generally offer more editing flexibility than heavily processed files.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESETS AND CONTROL PACK?

Presets establish a base look. The Control Kit provides additional adjustment tools for refining selected areas and shaping the final image. The exact tools and compatibility are listed on its product page.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COMPLETE PACK?

The Complete Pack includes the Signature Pack, B&W Pack and Control Kit for €89.99. This is €24.98 less than buying those three products separately at their listed prices.

All presets are delivered in universal .XMP format and are fully compatible with:

  • Lightroom Classic (v7.3 and later)

  • Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) for Photoshop

DO THE AI MASKING TOOLS IN THE CONTROL KIT WORK ON LIGHTROOM MOBILE?
