I downloaded some Lightroom 4 presets, and one of them adds vignetting that I don’t want. In the Develop module I don’t immediately see where the vignette is being applied. Can I edit the preset to remove that effect and save the corrected version?

  1. Apply the preset to an image
  2. Modify the setting you would like changed in the preset
  3. Click the "+" sign under the presets window to create a new preset, or right click an existing preset and click "Update with current settings"

If it is adding vignetting I would look at the Lens Corrections Develop module, as well as the Effects Develop module.

Yes. In Lightroom 4, presets aren’t edited directly in a separate editor—you usually apply the preset to a photo, change the settings you don’t want, then save that as a new preset or update the existing one.

For unwanted vignetting, check both of these panels in Develop:

  • Effects
  • Lens Corrections

Some presets apply darkening through Post-Crop Vignetting in Effects, while others may use Lens Corrections settings.

Workflow:

  1. Apply the preset to an image.
  2. In Develop, find and remove or reduce the vignette-related setting.
  3. Save the result:
    • Click the "+" in the Presets panel to create a new preset, or
    • Right-click the preset and choose Update with Current Settings.

That will give you a version of the preset without the vignette.
