Your edit should feel like you. Start from a clean, true to color base instead of fixing someone else’s look. Jaide & Jett Lightroom presets work as a system. Choose a Natural Pack base, stack artistic layers, and set intensity with the Amount slider. This guide walks you through simple steps to keep every edit yours.

Base First, Mood Later

The Natural Pack is the blueprint. Apply a base that respects the shot, check skin and neutrals, and set white balance to real life. From here, everything you layer reads as intentional.

Natural is tested across cameras, skin tones, and light, so your base behaves the way good presets should. Less time fixing strange color. More time styling with intention.

Step 2: Stack the Mood

Your base is set. Now add character. Our artistic kits and finishes are designed to stack on top of the Natural Pack without breaking your true to color foundation. Click a finisher, then use the Amount slider to set intensity. Keep it subtle for everyday natural. Push it when you want drama.

Treat each edit like a recipe. Base first, one mood layer, a touch of texture if the photo needs it. Save the combination when it hits. Over time you build a small library of looks that are unmistakably yours and fast to reuse on desktop and mobile.

Every kit and finisher is calibrated to the Natural Pack, so you can layer freely without wrecking skin or color. Start light. Set Amount between 30 and 60. Nudge up only if the image can carry it.

Simple steps

Apply Natural → choose one kit or finisher → set Amount → check skin and neutrals → decide if you need a second layer.

Micro tips

Amount is your best friend. Lower for everyday. Higher for editorial.
If skin shifts, nudge white balance or lower Orange Saturation a touch.
Add texture last. Grain reads best after color is set.

Step 3: Tune the Details

Your stack is set. Now make it yours. Do small moves that protect the true to color base.

Quick flow

Set exposure where you want it
Balance white balance to the scene
Nudge contrast, highlights, shadows
Check skin and neutrals before color mix
Adjust Color Mix only if you need it

Pro fixes

Too orange skin: cool white balance a touch or lower Orange Saturation
Flat image: add a little Contrast, then lift Blacks slightly
Crunchy highlights: lower Highlights, raise Whites a hair
Neon greens: move Green Hue toward neutral, lower Green Saturation
Indoor color cast: use the WB picker on a neutral tone
Texture choice: add grain last so it matches the final mood

Keep it simple

You are refining, not rewriting. If you are fighting the photo, recheck exposure and white balance.

Step 4: Save the Recipe

Lock the look so you can repeat it fast.

Why it matters

Consistency builds recognition. Clients and followers start to know your work at a glance. That is the point of a system.

Common mistakes and easy fixes

Thinking there is only one order

You can start with a Natural base or with an artistic finisher. Each preset and finisher can live on its own or stack. Pick what fits the photo, then refine with Amount.

Not adjusting opacity per photo

Amount is not set and forget. Start around 30 to 60, then tune until skin and neutrals feel right. Use before and after to sanity check.

Syncing settings and exporting without checks

Sync to save time, then review each frame. Recheck exposure, white balance, and Amount before export. Mixed light needs small per photo tweaks.

Layering too many finishes

One layer is usually enough. Two at most. If it looks heavy, lower Amount or try a lighter finisher.

Adding grain too early

Style first. Grain last. Texture reads best once color and contrast are set.

Never saving what worked

When a combo hits, save it as a preset. Name it clearly and sync to mobile.

Conclusion

Jaide & Jett is a Lightroom preset system. Start with a Natural base or begin with a finisher. Each preset and artistic layer can stand alone or stack. Set your Amount per photo, fine tune exposure and white balance, then save the recipe so your look is easy to repeat on desktop and mobile.

If you want natural presets that stay true to color with room for artistic mood when you want it, this workflow is it. Consistent galleries. Recognizable style. Edits that feel like you.
