Default To be "Dave Hill effect"

--------------------


Was going for the Dave Hill's Style or effect. But,....i think i still have a long way to go. LOL!!!!

Anyway, this is what i did in Lightroom 2:

- Clarity 86
- Dark tones -10
- Highlight Tones -31
- Shadow Tones +10
- Vignette Midpoint +100
- Blue Chromatic Abberation +5
- Color Noise Reduction -100
- Added presets from Dojo Essentials 1.2 called Bam 2.0
- Corrected some skin tone
- Added some dark vignettes

In Photoshop,

- Added a Dragan effect
- Some contrasts and vibrancy.

I have been fighting with this Dave Hill thingy for some time now. I came to the conclusion that the final effect depends on the strobe positions and lights in the beginning.
