Adaptive presets
Adaptive presets in Lightroom contain an AI mask that automatically adapts to each photo, for example to the sky, the subject or the skin. Instead of fixed sliders they apply their adjustment exactly on the recognised area. So one preset works on different photos, because it selects the right spot every time.
A regular preset lays the same settings everywhere; an adaptive preset first finds the subject or sky and edits only that. Lightroom has built-in adaptive presets, and you can also make your own from an AI mask. They're ideal for, say, automatically making the sky pop in every photo. Tip: make your own adaptive preset of your favourite skin or sky edit, then from now on you apply it with one click to every new photo.

The presets on this site set these adjustments up for you as a starting point, which you then fine-tune to taste.
