How can I find out what Quest presets are coming out next?

We start teasing the release of the next month's preset toward the end of each month—make sure you're signed up for Quest newsletters, check the Quest Lab, and join our Archipelago Collective Facebook Group to see sneak peeks of what presets are coming soon!

Do I get to keep the monthly presets I download?

Yes! When you download and license the Quest preset of the month or any presets purchased from the Quest Archive, those are yours to keep, even if you cancel. Please back up any presets in multiple locations in case you lose the files, and we can also help you recover lost presets if you email us at support@archipelagoquest.com.

Are there bonus sets I can choose from if I don't want this month's preset?

No, but you can purchase past Quest presets in the Quest Archive or by purchasing one of our Quest Volume preset bundles, which is a great way to find the perfect preset for your style! See what each set includes in the Explorer's Guide to Quest.

If I subscribe to Quest, how many presets will I have access to?

When you first sign up to be a Quest member, you'll have access to download the FREE preset of the month, as well as access to purchase previously-released Quest presets in the Quest Archive. For the 3 month billing cycle option, that means 3 free preset collections. For the 6 month billing cycle option, that means 6 free preset collections (6 preset collections for the price of 5). If you stay on as a Quest member, you'll get free presets each month as part of your low membership fee!

Can you cancel anytime?

Yes, you can cancel at any time. Your subscription will not renew at the next billing cycle if you cancel.

Is there a trial period?

We don't offer trials of the Quest subscription since the presets are software you download, however you can request test edits on your own photos in our Facebook Group. For test edits, please upload 3 RAW files to a file-sharing site (like Dropbox or WeTransfer) and post the link in our Facebook Group. One of our team or community members will be able to do test edits for you! Let us know which presets you're interested in, or if you're not sure, a general editing style you like. Note: your images should be in RAW file format, well exposed, and with a good tonal range or variety so you can really see the differences between the presets!

What is the difference between Archipelago Presets and Archipelago Quest?

Archipelago Presets is a photography preset company that develops Lightroom Presets and Creative Profiles for photographers, by photographers. These presets typically include 6 preset options, creative profiles, and tools, and are developed using images from a wide range of camera files, subject matter, lighting conditions, and skin tones to give photographers a curated selection of post-production tools to elevate their editing. Archipelago Quest is the preset subscription membership created by Archipelago Presets—the same preset developers create "mini" presets and profile collections each month using new Adobe technology whenever possible. This budget-friendly subscription allows photographers to experiment with different editing styles and tools to find their style and streamline their editing.

What are the subscription tiers?

The Quest Membership comes with two subscription options: The default 3 month subscription for new and resubscribing Quest members is $12 per month and conveniently billed every 3 months! Each month you get a new and exciting Quest preset included in your membership! Upgrade to the 6 month membership, which is $60 billed every 6 months, saving you $12 (basically giving you one month FREE when you sign up for 6 months)!

I missed a set, even though I was a member when it was released, what do I do?

Reach out to us at support@archipelagoquest.com and we'll help you recover your missed preset!

Benefits of the Quest Membership

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!
