Editing Recipe Builder

Translate a look you're chasing into concrete Lightroom or Photoshop settings — actual sliders and values, not vague advice about mood.

The prompt

I want the attached photo to look like {{target_look}}. Give me a step-by-step editing recipe for {{editor}} with specific slider values or adjustment-layer settings, ordered the way I should apply them. For each step say what it fixes and how to tell if I've overdone it. Flag anything the original file can't support:

{{photo_notes}}

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other assistants. Replace the highlighted placeholders with your own content.

How to use it

Describe the look at {{target_look}}, name your editor at {{editor}} (Lightroom or Photoshop) and add notes at {{photo_notes}}. The answer lists actual sliders and values, not vague advice.

Tips for better results

  • Attach a reference image of the look you want.
  • Treat the values as a starting point and adjust for your photo.
  • Save the finished recipe as a preset.
