A Fresh Look for Your Drone Photos
Drone photography already gives you a breathtaking perspective, but sometimes the raw images don’t fully capture the mood you experienced while flying. Lighting, color tones, and atmosphere can feel a bit flat straight out of the camera. That’s where Ultimate Aerial Presets come in. Created by photographer David Pordan, this preset pack was originally developed during his travels to help him transform ordinary aerial shots into cinematic, cozy, and visually striking photos. With just a few clicks in Lightroom, you can add depth, moody tones, and a subtle film look that makes your drone shots feel more professional and memorable. Whether you capture mountains, cityscapes, coastlines, or travel scenes, these presets help you turn your already cool photos into something truly unique.
What Are Ultimate Aerial Presets and Why Use Them?
Lightroom presets are pre-configured editing settings that automatically adjust elements like color balance, contrast, shadows, highlights, and tones. Instead of manually editing every photo, a preset allows you to apply a complete visual style instantly.
Why They Are So Useful
- Consistent Visual Style: If you’re editing a series of travel or drone photos, presets help keep the colors and mood consistent across the entire collection.
- Faster Workflow: Editing aerial photography can be time-consuming. Presets dramatically reduce editing time by applying a professional starting point instantly.
- Enhanced Atmosphere: Aerial photos often benefit from deeper shadows, balanced highlights, and richer tones. Presets help create a cinematic mood that emphasizes landscapes, urban textures, and dramatic perspectives.
- Better Storytelling: When your photos share a consistent visual mood, they feel more like a story rather than a collection of random images.
For drone photographers, this means your portfolio, social media posts, or travel albums instantly look more polished and professional.

Pro Tips for Getting the Best Results
Even though presets make editing faster, a few small adjustments can help you achieve the best results.
1. Start With the Right Exposure
Presets work best when your original photo is properly exposed. If the image is too dark or too bright, adjust exposure first before applying the preset.
2. Fine-Tune Highlights and Shadows
Drone photos often contain strong skies and landscapes. Slightly adjusting highlights and shadows after applying a preset can bring out extra details.
3. Adjust White Balance for Natural Colors
Lighting conditions change constantly during aerial shooting. A small white balance tweak can make the preset feel more natural.
4. Use Presets as a Creative Starting Point
Think of presets as a base style. After applying one, experiment with contrast, clarity, and saturation to match your personal style.
5. Match Presets to the Scene
Moody presets work beautifully for cloudy skies, forests, and coastal scenes, while brighter variations can enhance sunny landscapes and urban shots.
