Venice Preset Pack: Simplify Editing Your Summer Trip Photos
If you’ve ever wished your summer trip photos could truly capture the warmth and golden glow of those unforgettable days, the Venice Preset Pack is here to help. Inspired by the Mediterranean’s rich tones and sun-soaked vibes, this preset pack makes it easy to edit your photos and create a cohesive, warm, and cinematic look—perfect for everything from beach days to golden-hour adventures.
The Story Behind the Venice Preset Pack
In the summer of 2022, we went on a trip to Italy with friends—a yearly tradition we always look forward to. From Venice to Padova to Vicenza, we captured so many incredible moments, but when it came time to edit, we wanted something that could reflect the warmth and nostalgia of that trip.
After playing around with countless edits, we found a look that just worked. We honed in on the tones that brought our favorite memories to life, added a touch of grain for a subtle film feel, and created a pack that simplifies the editing process. The result? The Venice Preset Pack. It’s like having your own editing shortcut to make your photos feel cohesive and polished, no matter the lighting or setting.

The Venice Preset Pack includes four variations, each designed to work with different lighting conditions:
VENICE_32 (3200K): Great for indoor or artificial lighting.
VENICE_55 (5500K): Perfect for daylight with balanced tones.
VENICE_65 (6500K): Ideal for those warm golden-hour photos.
VENICE_75 (7500K): Best for shaded or cloudy environments.
These presets aren’t about slapping a filter onto your photo—they’re meant to enhance your shot while keeping it natural. And yes, they work on both Lightroom Classic CC and Lightroom Mobile!
If you’re editing on your phone, just import the presets through the Adobe Lightroom app, and you’re ready to go.

Tips for Making the Most of the Pack
Outdoor Scenes: Use 5500K for daylight and 6500K for golden hour to bring out those warm tones.
Shaded Areas: 7500K is great for balancing cooler tones in shadowy spots.
Indoor Lighting: Start with 3200K for a cinematic touch.
Extra Adjustments: If you want more vibrant blues or greens, use Lightroom’s color mixer to bump up saturation—this pack plays nicely with custom tweaks.
These presets are versatile, but they’re also a great starting point. You can always adjust to your personal style, and we encourage you to experiment.
