Summary
It is my conviction that photography should be accessible to all individuals, particularly when it involves preserving remarkable memories. Consequently, we are providing complimentary Lightroom presets for your utilization in whichever manner suits you best…
…there are no hidden conditions and no payments required. 🤗
Why are your presets free?
It has consistently been my perspective that each individual should have the opportunity to preserve memories in the most affordable and accessible manner possible.
This may come across as sentimental; however, I cherish the experiences of reviewing old family albums and reflecting on pivotal life moments. Ultimately, everyone is entitled to enjoy those significant memories!
There exists a unique enchantment in capturing an image that can transport you back to the moment it was taken.
Assuming you have Lightroom, you have likely already invested a substantial amount for the software (or ongoing subscription costs). This is yet another motivation behind offering these free Lightroom presets.
I maintain that photographic editing or photography itself should not be an additional financial burden. Let us create an equitable opportunity for everyone who appreciates photography and travel.

1.) GoTravelDaily: Calidum
This enhancement is particularly effective on overcast days when the lighting is diffuse. The primary aspects it amplifies include increasing brightness, warmth, and certain warmer tones to reflect the destination (which was Geneva).
Tweaking tips: After application, consider lowering or increasing the light setting as well as adjusting some of the blue tones when editing a photograph on a sunlit day.
2.) GoTravelDaily: Frigus
This edit is optimal indoors and is suitable for environments that are clean and relatively airy. In this adjustment, I aim for a muted yet vibrant look that complements the white tones for a refreshing and cool aesthetic.
Tweaking tips: If you encounter detailed elements requiring color enhancement, ensure to increase the saturation but reduce the yellows or blues to counterbalance environmental factors.
3.) GoTravelDaily: Illuminare
This adjustment works excellently when one desires to maintain abundant detail within a photograph. Particularly, it functions well in relatively expansive indoor spaces that may be shrouded in shadows.
Tweaking tips: This edit is best fine-tuned through adjustments to the ‘highlight’ function, allowing for greater adaptation to your specific image.
4.) GoTravelDaily: Interius
I find indoor photographs often fail to convey the authentic experience as it was perceived. Our Airbnb in Nimes was remarkably airy, simplistic, and clean. Consequently, this enhancement prioritizes elevating both light and shadow, while also preserving some darker tones.
Tweaking tips: Adjust the contrast tool upwards or downwards to achieve greater prominence in the darker regions.
5.) GoTravelDaily: Inveniet
During my time in Sri Lanka, I frequently needed to zoom significantly into images, particularly while on safari. However, this sometimes adversely affected the lighting conditions. It becomes challenging to manually adjust settings when you have limited time to capture the moment.
This enhancement accentuates details, minimizes shadows, and raises the temperature to mirror the day’s atmosphere.
Tweaking tips: Experiment with individual colors in your images. If greens are not dominant, consider increasing blues or reds instead.
6.) GoTravelDaily: Meridiem
The “Meridiem” preset is somewhat more understated compared to some alternatives. Its primary objective is to showcase the sunset ambiance observed in the city.
Tweaking tips: Should the sunset appear cold, maintaining the blue tones within the photograph is advisable.
7.) GoTravelDaily: Tranquilliam
This preset was captured during sunset in the Maldives and emphasizes augmenting shadows (to ensure visibility), while enhancing the blues and oranges (which are indeed complementary on the color wheel).
Tweaking tip: For a more pronounced photograph, adjust the clarity and contrast tools. Increasing these settings will enhance definition.
8.) GoTravelDaily: Tropics
The “Tropics” preset is designed for warm, tropical destinations you may be visiting. Despite the high temperature and humidity during our visit, this preset effectively restores the warm, tropical essence I experienced at that moment.
Tweaking tips: Introduce a bit more grain into your photographs. Although it may seem counter-intuitive, it can add a whimsical quality in the appropriate context.
9.) GoTravelDaily: Viridi
Viridi is our free Lightroom preset that excels in lush environments. This preset enables greens to stand out while simultaneously brightening and warming the overall ambience.
Tweaking tip: Should you find the hazy sky undesirable, reduce the light and highlight settings until achieving your ideal outcome.
