Subjects Library, a trail through everything you are handed

Whatever they hand you, there is a collection for it.

Subjects Library is for the studio that shoots what it is handed: people and sport, buildings and streets, product, machines, food, and the lens itself. Works in the free Lightroom app on iPhone and Android, and in Lightroom Classic.

For commercial photographers who shoot what they are handed and invoice for all of it.

Monday is a headshot, Tuesday a warehouse, Wednesday a bicycle. The people collections are filed by the light you set and the skin in front of it, then by the booking: newborn, graduation, ceremony hall, dance floor, the family group in open shade, and sport from the pool deck to the gym with the lamp cast gone. Places run from the bright listing to the museum, with one collection per detail and a street row for faces, tile, rain, markets and souks.

Then the things. Clear Glass renders crystal transparent with the edge masking high. Cut Gemstone keeps the sparkle with a small sharpening radius. Fabric Detail and Woven Wool carry the weave and keep the dyes true by band. Gold Metal and Silver Chrome work one band each so metal reads as metal. Matte Leather keeps the hide deep and the stitch line held; Pale Ceramic takes the blue cast out of white clay. Studio Black crushes the background and holds the edges; Studio Object is the white-sweep baseline. Machines get their own leg: Aircraft Alloy, Bike Frame, Engine Bay, Rail Steel and Showroom Paint, each separating the material from what is behind it.

Food and hospitality cover the cafe counter under mixed light, the home kitchen table, the daylight plate with the whites white, and the Sunday meal warmed generously. The last leg is the glass itself: Kit Lens rebuilds micro-contrast in bundled zooms, Long Lens cuts the telephoto haze, Wide Angle lifts the corners, Phone Raw undoes the factory sharpening, and Tilt Plane, Mirror Ring, Soft Focus and Vintage Uncoated keep each lens's character as the look.

Not on this trail: the exclusive sets, Metal and Glass, Chrome Trim, Dark Plate, Wide Bokeh, Beauty Clean, Swaddle Studio, Pet Portrait, Chalk Hold, Stained Glass, Hotel Lobby and Rooftop View, each sold on one specialist page only. People and Places and the Product Table are the smaller packs inside this one; this library is every subject you are paid for. The outdoors, land, weather, nature and night, is a separate library.

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on real photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.

questions

Asked and Answered

Does it cover landscape and wildlife?

No. This library is the subjects a studio is handed. The outdoors is its own library, and Every Subject holds both.

Is this one download or several?

One ZIP, with every collection in its own folder. Import them all, or only the ones you use.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 1548 presets from Subjects Library as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.

What if it's not for me?

Before your first download we refund, no questions asked. After a download, sales are final except a technical fault we cannot fix or a duplicate charge. Details on the refunds page.
