How to use Lightroom presets to edit your Instagram photos

Lightroom is an Adobe photo editing application. Available in mobiles, it brings advanced features to professionals in the field of photography. However, some functions are free and can be accessed in one click, so they do not require specific knowledge to be used. This is the case for presets (presets), set of filter settings and effects rather used by digital influencers to enhance photos and draw more attention in Instagram. Lightroom presets can be found free or for sale on the Internet.
