Throughout the many stages of her photography career, she has found her deepest fulfillment in growing the worldwide community that REFINED has become and guiding photographers along their own creative journeys.
I, like most photographers, have invested far too much money in presets. However, my friend who is also a photographer educator continued to sing the praises of refined presets. So after the continued editing frustrations I was experiencing without any end in sight, I decided to finally give refined a shot. It IMMEDIATELY paid off! The gallery I was struggling to edit turned into a (mostly) one click edit and the end result was a gallery of photos that turned into a $3,800 artwork sale! Best photography investment in a long time!
I’m loving how Refined 1 has elevated my editing and has helped me create the kind of consistent portfolio I’ve been working towards.
REFINED I provides a beautiful and retro film touch to pictures. I find myself using them with candid lifestyle images. Navigating through the preset options to make subtle tweaks is painless so much so it has improved my editing process.
What software do I need to use the REFINED I presets and profiles?

What is the best white balance and exposure for REFINED i presets & profiles?
WHITE BALANCE | The best white balance for Refined presets is the white balance that you are most comfortable with and works with your workflow. Either get it right in camera and editing is faster, or fix it in post and you are not fiddling with it while you shoot. We do suggest getting comfortable with white balance because it is honestly the thing that can make or break any preset.
Whether you shoot in with auto white balance, Kelvin, or custom white balance, you want to make sure the final product is the tones you are looking for. It is a personal preference but something that is easily adjusted while shooting or in post processing. That is the beauty of shooting in RAW.
EXPOSURE | We suggest shooting at middle exposure or slightly under if you have bright whites or highlights. We suggest not blowing out whites and highlights. We have strong tone curves built in our presets and profiles that help retain your highlights like film and give you full flexibility to lift the exposure or shadows to lighten the image backup.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO EDIT A PHOTO WITH
REFINED CO?
We worked very hard to make our presets as easy and fast to use as possible. How quick they work depends on the quality of exposure and white balance of the image from the start, and how much creative editing you want to add to your images. They are designed to be used in a few simple steps. Adjust white balance, add preset, adjust exposure, tweak white balance if needed and adjust shadows/blacks if needed. These steps should take less than 10 seconds an image
