EPIC Preset System — Lightroom Workflow for Landscape Photographers EPIC Preset System
Your photo isn’t the problem. Your edit just needs a clearer direction. Give your RAW files a clearer direction.
EPIC is the repeatable Lightroom workflow I use on my own landscapes, from base tone to final mood, so you can stop preset-hopping and finish stronger photographs.
- Stop testing presets — start each edit with a clear direction for the scene.
- Move from flat RAW to finished image in ten guided steps, not guesswork.
- Keep your own voice — every preset, profile and mask is fully adjustable.

The 10-step method
From RAW file to finished image, in four clear phases.
EPIC is not just a folder of presets. It is a complete Lightroom workflow. Ten steps, grouped into four phases, that carry every file from the first adjustment to a finished, polished image.
01
Foundation — Choose the direction
Set the foundation
Build the full edit from the first adjustment. Scene-based categories establish tone, white balance, and color direction so the image moves through one coherent workflow.
- Choose a scene category
- Apply the matching color profile
- Set white balance and base exposure
02
Light shaping — Guide the eye
Shape the light
Use Lightroom masking to guide attention through the frame. Local adjustments help lift the subject, settle the background, and keep the atmosphere intact.
- Select sky, subject, and background
- Lift the subject gently
- Balance highlights and shadows locally
03
Mood & Color — Build the look
Dial in the mood
Custom color profiles let you control intensity with precision. Shape the mood and color of the final image without forcing every photograph into the same look.
- Layer a color profile underneath
- Dial profile intensity to taste
- Refine the grade with restraint
04
Final polish — Finish the image
Final polish
Finish every image with the same path: sharpening, noise reduction, and the small final decisions that make a frame feel complete.
- Sharpening and noise reduction
- Final adjustments
- Export-ready finish

Johanna V. @johannavauphotography Who it's for & how it fits
EPIC is not built around one fixed look.
You start with a scene-based direction, then adjust profiles, masks, tone and color to fit the file. The goal is not to make every photo look identical. It is to give every edit a clearer path to a finished result.
- You photograph landscapes, night, fog, forest, water, sunrise, sunset or atmospheric light.
- Your RAW files often feel flat before editing.
- You want a complete Lightroom workflow for mood, color, masks, contrast and final atmosphere.
- Works best with RAW files, and built for Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC and Camera Raw.
- Every preset, profile and mask is fully adjustable, so your images stay yours — not identical.
- You want to edit faster without giving up creative control.

Questions before editing with EPIC.
Does EPIC work with Lightroom Classic?

Does it work with Lightroom CC?

Does it work with Camera Raw?
Yes. EPIC works with Camera Raw in compatible Adobe versions.
Do I need Photoshop?
No. EPIC is built for Lightroom and Camera Raw. Photoshop is not required.
Are these one-click edits?
EPIC is not designed as a one-click solution. The presets give you a strong starting point, but the system is built so you can finish each image step by step according to your own vision.
Can I adjust the presets?
Yes. Presets, profiles, and masks are all adjustable. You can reduce intensity, modify colors, and shape the result to fit your own style.
Is this for RAW files?
EPIC works best with RAW files because they give the most room for adjusting light, color, and detail. You can use it with JPEGs too, but RAW gives the best results.
How do I receive the files?
After checkout, you receive access to the digital files and installation resources. The download includes the EPIC Preset Collection file, the EPIC Color Profiles file, and installation instructions.
Is this a one-time payment?
Yes. EPIC is a one-time payment. You receive permanent access to the files you purchase. No subscription or recurring fees.
Will all my photos look the same?
No. EPIC gives you a clear editing path, but you can adjust profile intensity, masks, and preset settings for each image. The goal is a consistent workflow, not an identical result in every photo.
Should I get EPIC or the Complete Bundle?
Choose EPIC (59 €) if you mainly want the focused editing and preset system — it works well on its own. Choose the Complete Bundle (149 €) if you want EPIC plus the wider set of courses, guides, and preset collections: it includes EPIC and four more core products along with the bonus resources, for 90 € more than EPIC on its own.
