The Emerald
UNDERWATER LIGHTROOM PRESETS

Dreaming about blue water and beautiful
skin tones for your ocean images? 

My underwater photography presets for your ocean photos will bring back the life and colour to your images.

Are you tired of your underwater images not looking the way you see them with your own eyes? Do they appear green and blurry, with a murky feel that’s hard to shake? If this sounds familiar, I’ve been there too! After years of editing, I created my own underwater presets specifically designed for capturing people underwater, so skin tones look real and natural.

These presets are adaptable, super easy to use, and help you maintain a consistent, polished style across all your sessions while refining your unique aesthetic. Tested on over 500 images, they’re guaranteed to restore color and definition to any underwater scene.

These presets are designed to bring back life and color to your images with a soft, sun-kissed aesthetic and a natural feel. They enhance your photos while preserving the authenticity of the moment. The editing style focuses on dreamy tones, natural ocean colors, sun-kissed skin tones, and balanced light, creating an organic and timeless feel.
