Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Monty Roy, the creator behind Cinemora Presets.

I started this project after spending years editing portraits, landscapes, travel photos, and social media content in Lightroom. During that time, I downloaded hundreds of preset packs and noticed the same problem over and over again: most presets either looked unrealistic, required heavy adjustments, or were locked behind expensive paywalls.

Cinemora Presets was created to solve that problem. My goal is simple: provide free Lightroom presets that look good on real photos, work on Lightroom Mobile and Desktop, and help photographers spend less time editing and more time creating.

Why This Website Exists

Most photographers are not looking for hundreds of random filters. They want a few reliable presets that produce consistent results.

Instead of uploading huge collections filled with nearly identical looks, I focus on creating curated preset packs built around specific styles such as cinematic, old money, pastel, grain, portrait, landscape, moody, and luxury photography.

Every preset published on this website is designed to solve a real editing need rather than simply increase the number of downloads.

How Presets Are Created

Every preset starts with real photographs. I test color grading, contrast, tone curves, white balance, HSL adjustments, grain settings, and highlight recovery across multiple images before a pack is published.

I pay special attention to skin tones because they are often the first thing that looks unnatural in low-quality presets. My goal is to create edits that remain balanced and usable across a wide variety of cameras and lighting conditions.

Before a preset is released, it is tested on both Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom Desktop to ensure compatibility and consistent results.

Editorial Philosophy

All content on Cinemora Presets is written from direct experience with Lightroom and photo editing workflows. When publishing tutorials, comparisons, or preset recommendations, I focus on practical advice that photographers can apply immediately.

I do not publish AI-generated preset packs, fake download counts, or misleading editing claims. If a preset works best for a specific type of image, I clearly explain where it performs well and where manual adjustments may still be required.
