Nothing compares to the feeling of standing in front of a golden sunrise over the mountains or walking through an ancient forest at blue hour. But when you look at your camera roll later, the photos often fall flat — the colors look dull, the sky is washed out, and the magic is gone.
The fix? Professional outdoor photography presets that were created by landscape photographers who understand how to make nature pop.
In this guide, we’ll show you exactly which 123presets packs will instantly elevate your hiking, camping, travel, and nature photography — whether you’re editing on mobile while still on the trail or fine-tuning on desktop at home.
Why Most Outdoor Photos Need Presets (And Why Generic Ones Fail)
Nature throws every lighting challenge at you:
- Harsh midday sun that blows out highlights
- Flat, hazy skies that kill contrast
- Greens that look neon or muddy straight out of camera
- Golden hour shots that lose warmth in RAW files
Generic presets can’t handle these conditions. That’s why 123presets’ outdoor collections are built from real landscape shoots in places like Patagonia, Iceland, the Alps, and Yosemite — tested on thousands of real-world nature photos.

Pro Tips: Getting the Most Out of Outdoor Presets
- Shoot in RAW – Gives presets more data to work with (even on phone with Lightroom app)
- Adjust exposure first – Then apply preset. Never the other way around
- Use the “Forest Fix” preset from the Landscape pack to tame oversaturated greens
- Lower dehaze slightly (-5 to -10) on hazy mountain shots for ethereal mood
- Add radial filters around the sun for extra golden hour glow
