Your bases are covered—from the light of the game to the light of a flame.
Multi-Sport AI brings the latest in AI Adaptive preset technology to multi-genre sports photography. Packed with 129 multi-zone edits and targeted tools, this specialized collection helps you enhance live action, polish athlete portraits, correct challenging shooting conditions, and create high-impact lighting effects directly from your presets panel.
Whether you are shooting courtside, trackside, poolside, under stadium lights, or in a controlled studio environment, Multi-Sport AI helps bring both the captured moment and your creative vision to life.
Complete multi-zone edits in one tap
Start with 15 Multi-Adaptive presets that combine several coordinated adjustments into complete live-action or portrait edits. Live Action options are organized by environment—including beaches, ice rinks, indoor gyms, pools, rodeos, stadiums, and tracks—while Still Portrait options target popular sports such as cheer, dance, equestrian, gymnastics, field sports, court sports, extreme sports, and water sports.
Each preset provides a professionally balanced starting point while leaving you free to adjust its intensity or layer additional tools for further refinement.
Take control of every environment
Refine backgrounds with targeted adjustments for atmosphere, color, focus, exposure, highlights, shadows, and tonal depth. Landscape-specific tools help you separately enhance skies, playing surfaces, vegetation, and water without making unnecessary changes to the rest of the image.
Recover an overcast sky, revive harsh midday light, balance gym floors and courts, enrich track and turf, refine dirt and sand, or adjust distracting greens, oranges, and yellows in the surrounding environment.
Keep the focus on your athlete
Enhance uniform color and clothing detail while independently refining eyes, hair, brows, lips, teeth, face skin, and body skin. Whole-subject tools provide additional control over color and focus, helping your athlete stand out while maintaining a natural relationship with the scene.
Rescue difficult game-day images
Dedicated correction tools address common sports-photography challenges such as blue, green, pink, or overly warm indoor lighting, high-ISO noise, camera movement, and compressed burst-mode JPG files. These practical tools help recover challenging captures when the speed and unpredictability of live events leave little room for a second attempt.
Create high-impact light and atmosphere
Transform athlete portraits with glowing or shadowed background gradients, enhanced fire, fog, or water, directional flash and spotlight effects, and six full-color gel systems. Apply each gel independently to the background or subject from the left or right for greater control over your lighting design.
Finish the image with colorful vignettes, filmic matte, grain, or sharpening for anything from a clean game-day edit to a bold promotional portrait.
Stackable, adjustable, and built for speed
Use each preset independently, stack multiple tools into a customized workflow, or begin with a Multi-Adaptive edit and continue refining individual areas. Compatible presets can be adjusted with Lightroom’s Amount slider and synchronized across similar images for faster, more consistent editing.
A 40-page PDF Recipe Guide is included with instructions, workflow recommendations, and editing examples.
