I was amazed when I saw this on a tutorial that I watched. 1. while your original image is selected and you are in the develop module, choose a preset and click on it. 2. hit command+' (control on a pc). this gives you a new virtual copy (you will see it in your filmstrip) 3. go back to your original image by clicking on it in the filmstrip. 4. apply another preset. 5. create a virtual image of this. 6. repeat as many times, with as many presets, as you'd like. 7. (optional) go back to your original image and hit "reset" in the lower right corner. this will give you your sooc image back. 8. now, in your filmstrip, select ALL the virtual copies you created (plus the original, if you'd like). 9. Command-click (right click on a PC) on your selection, go to "edit in" and choose "open as layers in photoshop" voila! you have a photoshop file with each preset image as it's own layer! it's super fast and easy!!

Hope Rachel and Peta don't mind as I know they sell their own presets (which are way better! lol) but its something for those who are newer to get a feel for. http://katyhibberd-triggerhappy.blogspot.com/ Hey lovelies, I have posted an example and link to 14 presets that could get you started.

I just find this to be a quick and dirty way to get it done. tamara, a preset is just a collection of settings applied to your image in the program so there is no way to do a bulk adjustment…you can adjust all the sliders to your liking to fine tune the preset in Lightroom.
