Step 1: Lighten up.
Open your image, tap the Edit icon, and tap to open the Light panel. Experiment until you get the light where you want it.
Step 2: Call out your colors.
Turn up the vivacity volume by adjusting settings in the Color panel.
Step 3: Tone down the reds.
Use the Color Mix settings to refine individual colors. We used it to dial back the reds a bit.
Step 4: Mix multiple colors.
Select additional channels and use the sliders to make those colors stand out. We adjusted the yellows and blues throughout the image.
Step 5: Set the mood with color.
Work with the Color Grading settings to fine-tune the style of the photo. Swipe to the Midtones color wheel and drag the handle to adjust the hue and saturation throughout the photo.
Step 6: Enhance the light areas.
Switch to the Highlights color wheel and drag the handle to get the look you want. We used it to boost the blues.
Step 7: Save your edits.
To create a preset and reuse your adjustments, tap the three dots on the top menu, tap Create Preset, and give it a name. We named this preset Cool Bright.
Step 8: Reuse your preset.
Open another image and tap the Presets icon from the menu on the right. Choose Yours, then User Presets to find any presets you created. Click the Cool Bright preset to apply the settings to the new photo.
Create once, apply often.
Quickly make multiple photos look like a set by using a custom preset.
