Mullins Lightroom Toolkit (Utility Presets + AI Mask Tools)
Mullins Lightroom Toolkit
Mullins Lightroom Toolkit is a practical set of utility presets designed to speed up editing, improve consistency, and reduce repetitive manual adjustments. It is not a film preset pack or a one-click “style” product. Instead, it provides focused tools that can be applied individually or stacked to build an edit in clear stages.
The Toolkit includes 104 presets organised into structured clusters, covering base corrections, tone and curve shaping, grain, sharpening, noise reduction, colour helpers, and finishing tools. A large portion of the set is built around Lightroom’s AI Masking workflow for fast subject, sky, and background adjustments.
Purpose
The Toolkit is designed to support an efficient, repeatable workflow. Each preset focuses on a specific adjustment, allowing edits to be built in layers. This is particularly useful when editing large sets of images where speed and consistency matter.
- Base correction tools to establish a clean starting point.
- Tone and curve tools to control contrast and highlight roll-off.
- Grain tools designed to sit naturally within a finished edit.
- Sharpening and noise reduction tools for common shooting conditions.
- AI Mask tools for faster background, sky and subject adjustments.
- Colour helpers and finishers for final refinement.
These presets are designed to be stacked. They can be used individually, or combined as a simple editing chain depending on the image.
Clear organisation for fast access
The Toolkit is grouped into named clusters so related tools stay together in the Presets panel. The structure follows a typical editing flow, which reduces time spent searching and helps maintain a consistent approach across a set.
AI Masks (28)
Background, subject, sky and portrait tools using Lightroom’s AI Masking.
Base and Fixes (20)
Starting points and corrective tools for common colour and exposure issues.
Utilities (16)
Practical mid-edit tools for density, warmth, vignettes, and tonal options.
Tone and Curves (10)
Curve shapes for contrast control, fades, punch, and highlight behaviour.
Grain (13)
A range of grain styles from subtle to heavy, plus a reset option.
Sharpen and NR (9)

Included presets (by cluster)
A typical workflow is to apply a Base and Fix preset first, then shape contrast using Tone and Curves, add Grain where appropriate, and finish with Sharpen and NR and a Finisher. AI Masks can be used at any point when local adjustments are required.

FAQ
Is this a “look pack” like film presets?
No. This is a utility toolkit designed to support editing workflow. Presets can be stacked and used selectively depending on the image.
Will this overwrite existing edits?
Presets apply Develop settings. For a safety net, create a Lightroom Snapshot before applying presets.
Does it work with Lightroom Mobile?
Most of the Toolkit works with Lightroom Mobile. The AI Mask tools require Lightroom Classic 11+ or Lightroom Desktop 5+.
What versions are required for the AI Mask tools?
Lightroom Classic 11+ or Lightroom Desktop 5+.
Is it compatible with Mac and Windows?
Yes. Presets work on both macOS and Windows.
Can multiple presets be stacked?
Yes. The Toolkit is designed for stacking, for example Base and Fixes first, then Tone and Curves, then Grain, followed by Sharpen and NR and Finishers.
