A New Direction for the Quest Preset Subscription
At its core, Quest has always been about exploration. Trying new editing styles, discovering fresh creative directions, and building a preset library that evolves right alongside you as a photographer. Starting in March, we’re making a small but meaningful update to the Quest subscription that puts even more flexibility and choice into your hands.

Instead of receiving the featured Quest preset of the month as a free download, Quest subscribers will now receive a $38 credit code every month.
This monthly credit can be used toward:
The newly released Quest preset of the month OR
Any $38 preset or toolset from the Quest Archive, which now includes 56 and counting past Quest releases
Same subscription. More options.

What’s Changing and What’s Staying the Same
If you love the excitement of trying a brand new editing style each month, nothing really changes for you. Simply use your monthly $38 credit on the featured new Quest release and keep exploring with your photo editing the way you always have.
If, on the other hand, you’ve found a style you truly love and the latest Quest release is not quite your vibe, you now have the freedom to choose differently. Your monthly credit can be used to grab a preset or toolset from the Quest Archive that better fits your personal editing style or the work you’re shooting right now.
No pressure to download something you won’t use. No missed value if a month’s release isn’t a perfect fit.
Why We’re Making This Update
As the Quest Archive has grown, so has the diversity of styles within it. From cinematic and moody edits to bright, nostalgic color and clean, true-to-life tones, Quest now represents a wide range of creative directions.
This update allows you to:
Build a preset library intentionally over time
Invest in tools that actually support your workflow
Explore new styles when you’re inspired, not because you feel obligated
It’s still Quest. Just with more creative autonomy.

Where can I find my Quest Explorer Credit each month?
Directly under the banner on the Quest Members Hompage, you’ll see a section that says Your Monthly Credit with a badge displaying the code and a code you can copy and paste underneath.
How do I use it?
Choose the NEW featured monthly preset - OR - a preset from the archive of past Legacy Quest Presets that you don’t already own and add it to your cart. Copy the credit code from the Quest Members Homepage, then at checkout, enter or paste the code in the Discount Code field.
If the preset your selected costs more than $38, you’ll only pay the difference. Most single preset collections in the Legacy archive are $38 USD, so you’ll have plenty to choose from.
The Full Quest Legacy Archive Is Open
One of the most exciting parts of this update is that the entire Quest journey is now available to you. Dozens of sets to choose from, from over 5 years of Quest releases.
We’ve brought back all the early Quest releases as individual preset sets in the Quest Archive, making them available alongside our newer Quest installments. That means the full Quest Archive is now open for you to explore—whether you’re drawn to the earliest creative foundations of Quest or the most recent stylistic experiments.
This is a chance to revisit classic Quest edits you may have missed, or an opportunity to start at the beginning and build a library that reflects the full evolution of Quest over time.
Curate a collection that truly fits your creative voice.
