Goodlight Presets

What Goodlight Presets is

Goodlight Presets provides Lightroom presets connected to enhanced profiles that apply film-inspired color and tonality to photos. The profile strength can be adjusted with an amount slider. Pack 4 – Erich McVey contains 15 profiles: nine color and six black-and-white. It also includes editing boards, presets and tools for tone, sharpening and grain adjustments, plus a PDF user guide. Mac and PC installers, an installation GIF and a video guide link are included.

The presets support Lightroom Classic 7.4 or later, Photoshop/Camera Raw 10.3 or later, and Lightroom CC for mobile on iOS and Android. They do not work with Lightroom 5. Mobile editing requires an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription and an initial import through desktop Lightroom. JPEG files are supported, though RAW is recommended; the maker suggests starting JPEG profile strength around 20–30%. The maker says the presets work with all cameras and names Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Fuji among those it tested. Goodlight Presets is paid, with prices from $27 one-time; Pack 4 is $347, paid once. Purchases are delivered by download, and the maker says the link will be provided within 24 hours after purchase.

Who it suits

Goodlight Presets suits photographers who edit with supported Adobe applications and want film-inspired color or black-and-white profiles with adjustable strength. Pack 4 may suit buyers who want 15 profiles plus tone, sharpening and grain tools, while mobile-only editors need access to desktop Lightroom for the initial import.
