Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 204 reviews.
I sent a message via website as well as via email advising that when purchasing the Modern Tri-X black and white pack, I instead got the Modern Portra 400 Presets, and any time I add the BW pack it is replacing it in the cart with the Portra pack. I have not heard back from the company regarding this issue or the messages that I sent in an effort to resolve this issue.
The Modern Market Modern Pure 100 Lightroom Presets & Modern Adjustment Pack are wonderful presets!
My initial style of editing has always been a darker skin tone with earthy colors. This MM Lr Preset offers me an alternative into the world of "light and bright." I notice that many photographers are utilizing this, especially with couples and weddings.
If you are looking for something that increases your creativity, I highly recommend Modern Market. I chose the Pure 100, but was viewing several other preset sets from them as well.
I love that this is an "addition," not a "complete changeover" for me. There is still of course, the need to adjust the Lr sliders for texture, clarity, dehaze, and all...as indeed you always do. It is not a "one hit and done" artistic clean-up.
If you look at the edits from Elena Ringeisen, you will NOT automatically achieve that "look" with the push of a button. As a professional portrait photographer, I want it to be clear...you still need to edit. But this is not a diss on these presets. It offers you a terrific "start". And as you know...get one shot the way you like it, and then do the Lightroom "thing" of copy edit style onto your next photos...and voila!
I utilize a couple of other presets into my workflow as well. But I DO highly recommend Modern Market for your additional creativity. Top shelf presets by a solid firm.

None of the presets came close to matching your sample images. A tutorial video would be useful to show the customer how you achieved the looks you did in the sample images.

I haven't had a chance to use these yet but I'm sure that, just like all of Modern Market's preset packs, this will deliver the quality I've come to expect.
I am excited about the potential for high quality edits with this lovely collection of presets; there are a wonderful variety of color "looks" and the monochrome presets are stunning. Thank you!
In twenty years of digital capture I have often been lured by the promise of the newest shiniest preset packages, only to have too many fail to live up to the quality I am looking/needing to work with. So it's a real pleasure to give the Pure LR Desktop presets a perfect review. I shoot both Fuji and Sony and this collection compliments and enhances the RAW capture for both cameras with a beautiful variety of looks and styles. Thank you!
I’ve had an amazing wonderful experience. Elena is more than knowledgeable about the business needs I have.
She is insightful and easy to work with energizing my dreams and my needs for my business.
Ordering and downloading, the set of presets was very easy. Many times I’ve been dissatisfied when I invest in a set of Lightroom presets this one is incredible! I will be coming back for more. Thank you so much.
I really like these, but with one click some of them come out too bright. I know Elena reccomends underexposing while shooting. Using the Lightroom Preset adjuster slider makes it super easy to adjust them.
I own a lot of the MM presets, I really love the hybrid collection over the film. The film are VERY bright and airy and needed more adjusting than the hybrid.
These film presets from Modern Market have been my go-to for years. They are so easy to use and really transform my portraits. 10/10 recommend these to photographers!
I'm Elena. After well over a decade in the business world, raising four kids while building multiple businesses, I’m stepping into a new chapter. My days look a little different now, time at the beach with my kids, homeschooling, long walks with my love, baking, and hopefully building a garden soon. I’m choosing slower, more intentional days, making space for what matters most.
I still love capturing the everyday moments, getting lost in writing, and creating when inspiration hits. I’ll still be here, just in a different way. And everything I’ve built, including my products, courses, past resources, and advice, will remain here for anyone who needs them.
