What’s Included
The Film Candy 2 Presets come in three main parts. The fist is a set of “set-up” presets, designed to set your images to the correct profile based on your camera, and also to set some common settings such as turning on chromatic aberration reduction and automatic lens correction.
The second is the main Film Candy 2 presets themselves. This consists of 40 presets for creating the various effects and styles of film candy.
Finally the third part is another folder of presets called “Grad Grain and Vignette”. This contains a number of presets designed to add various grain effects, graduated filters and vignettes.

Special Notes about Applying Film Candy 2 Presets
The Film Candy 2 presets make full use of almost all of the adjustments available in Lightroom’s adjustments panel to achieve the looks, but some presets use more than others, for example some have white balance adjustments applied, while others don’t. Some also have gradients built in while others don’t. Where possible only the effects used in a particular preset are saved. This is so as not to overwrite any adjustments that you may have made, however it means that as different presets use different adjustments, some effects may not be overwritten should you choose another preset. This is a deliberate choice because the alternative is to have every adjustment overwritten every time a preset is applied, which can also lead to undesirable effects. If you’re experimenting with the looks then a quick way to reset each time, is to undo by choosing command (control) + z after applying a look. There is also an included “reset film candy” preset which resets the settings used by film candy
Some General Note about Presets
Not all images are suitable for all presets. Some images just wont produce pleasing results and won’t be appropriate for the type of presets you may be trying to use, depending on the subject matter.
It is also important to note that any preset won’t be a magic bullet. Presets should be considered as a starting point. More often than not images may require additional adjustments after applying presets. Sometimes you will need to adjust exposure or brightness and contrast depending on your image. When trying presets, consider making a duplicate the version that you’re working on so you don’t loose any adjustments you’ve already made, or make use of Lightroom’s snapshot feature.
