How to Fine Tune Xiaomi Presets for Your Own Style

Presets are launch pads, not handcuffs. Here’s how to bend any Xiaomi pack to match your signature mood.

Treat presets as a baseline

Apply the preset, then ask: what about this doesn’t fit my style? Too warm? Too crunchy? Identify the offender before touching sliders.

Key adjustments to own

• Exposure and contrast: always set manually after applying the preset. Matching vibe matters more than copying someone else’s lighting.
• White balance: drag temperature and tint until skin and neutrals feel correct. Presets can’t read the room’s lighting.
• Color mix: tweak individual hues so your preferred palette stays intact (e.g., keep greens muted if that’s your brand).

Save your custom version

1. Once satisfied, tap the preset menu and choose Save as new preset.
2. Rename it with a version number (e.g., san-Soft-01).
3. Backup the preset folder so you can reinstall if you reset your phone.

Iterate every few weeks, and soon you’ll have a preset library that feels unmistakably yours—even if the base pack came from someone else.
