New Preset & Creative profile monthly-- Every month, our preset developers work hard to create new, unique presets for Quest members. The style of the presets can be anything, from true to color, film emulation, cinematic, or based on a photography style like light & airy or dark & moody. Our developers use cutting edge Adobe technology when creating Quest presets, since they come out on a monthly schedule, so you always have the newest tech to edit with!
Active Quest members automatically enjoy FREE membership at Archipelago Presets, unlocking ongoing discounts of up to 50% OFF at www.archipelagopresets.com.
Archipelago Preset collections are full sets (whereas Quest Presets are "mini" collections), typically including around 6 color or black and white presets, tools, and creative profiles in each. These presets collections also include upgrades - As Lightroom evolves and adds new technology and features, our presets adapt too.
Access to purchase past Quest sets in the Quest Archive-- Each month as new Quest presets are released, the previous month's preset gets archived to the Quest Archive, where we have all the past Quest presets available for Quest members to purchase! There are so many styles of editing presets to choose from, we're sure you'll find your next favorite in the Quest Archive!
Push the boundary - achieve mindblowing edits without leaving Lightroom
“I HAVE GAINED SO MUCH CONFIDENCE IN MY EDITING SINCE USING QUEST. I reach to out of the box ideas and play creatively now. The workflow is so much faster. I have since stopped using AI editors because i much prefer to use the tools given in these sets. I ACTUALLY ENJOY EDITING NOW. Before, it was such a mundane task that i had to just get through. Thank each and every one of you creators at AP for creating these awesome sets, then taking it a step farther to teach us how to use them , then creating a community that i absolutely enjoy networking with.”
“Photography can be a competitive game, but I feel like I’ve found a community of like minded yet completely unique photogs that can just come together and talk, give advice, ask questions, and have genuine/productive conversation in a meaningful and competition-free way. I’ve also spent years trying to find my “look” that I keep seeing in my head, but with the constant upgrades and changes to Lightroom it was so hard to narrow down. ARCHIPELAGO PROVIDED ME WITH THE BASIS I NEEDED TO GET THERE, and with some tweaks - I found the LOOOOK!”
“Quest subscription gave me great tools to upgrade my editions to 100%, I remember I always tried to make my own presets when I started photography but never felt looks professional and great, when I met Archipelago presets I felt finally I found an easy and professional way to edit my photos, but I couldn’t afford so many sets so I found Quest subscription is a good decision because I can have presets every month and this helps me to feel motivated and keep taking photographs and use my presets every month. THANKS FOR CREATING AMAZING TOOLS and love the youtube lives, I always wait for them.”

“QUEST MEMBERSHIP HAS ACTUALLY HELPED ME FIND MY STYLE. The most invaluable thing about quest for me are the toolsets. Honestly those brushes have saved hours on my time editing. Every single image of mine uses them to really make it pop. The thing I also love is the live edits. The knowledge from those has really elevated my editing and made my style really my own. Oh and you fabulous lot. The community that you have built is amazing as everyone is there to support and build you up.”
