Four variations of a photo showing a woman with headphones leaning against a wall, each with a different Lightroom preset effect: sepia, warm vintage, black and white, and cool faded.

Free Faded Vintage Effects Lightroom Presets

I wanted to create some photo effect presets that mimic the photographs that our moms and dads kept in their wallets or stored in some shoe box in the attic. They were exposed to the elements, to oxidation, and degradation which made them awesome. You’ll see that the colors and details in the photo below have been muted and faded and give your photos a vintage, sun-faded look.

We hope you enjoy these Lightroom presets!
