hi–

great site and great post–thank you!

have been trying to import presets into lightroom as directed on the various preset sites and after i download them to my computer and attempt to import them into lightroom, they do not show-up in the import window–it is as if they are not there. i have tried various means to fix/find these files to import into lightroom and i cannot.

any insight here would be highly appreciated.

thanks!

Thank you so much for those presets websites. The presets and Lightroom is such a great invention.

I would like that it would not destroy that much the quality of the photos. Sometimes a 12MPx photo after applying a preset looks like a 5MPX at full size

Hi, guys… I’m the worst reader you’ll find in this post. I’m a dreamer. I love photography but I don’t have not even a point and shoot camera. I don’t have access to email. I have nothing. But anyway… I’m trying to learn how to take better pictures if I ever get a digital camera in hands.

Thank you for this site. It’s been really helpfull. For now… I just use the office PC to modify pics taken by others… and this helps me understanding this world better.

Yes Ames there are similar ‘presets’ that can be created for Photoshop.

Our in-house guru Mike Gray shows you how …

I’m trying to get the Wonderland Presets package, but when I unzip the files it says I need a password to do so. Can’t find anything on the site about this.

Thank you

I think the problem with presets is that people overuse them, but then don’t modify them at all (even if they don’t work well with the image). I like to use other people’s presets as a starting point for a look I want to achieve, then modify them like crazy to get something else entirely that’s more my style.

p.s. That Presets Heaven site was delicious, thank you!

Creating your own set of presets (for metadata, and for camera calibration settings) saved me a ton of time on import. The non destructive nature of lightroom, makes presets all the more valuable – however they should be used as a starting point for your own work, or as Alain points out – they tend to look a little “cookie cutter”.
