Most Lightroom users are familiar with concept of presets. A simple set of instructions that will take effect at the touch of a button.

Photographers are always looking for ways to maximize the quality of their images, especially when sharing our images with others. We zoom in to check focus at 100% and retouch faces at 200%, heck we might even zoom in to 400% to remove a stray piece of lint from a sweater and when we are finally satisfied with our images, we bump up the quality settings to MAXIMUM to ensure every last ounce of pixel magic is squeezed into the final image we share.
