A present for those of you who are lightroom users

[weezerisrock]

Well, not sure if this is the right place to post this or not. If not, could a mod move it to where its supposed to be? Anyway, I made a preset with Lightroom today and figured if anyone wanted to use it I would make it available

Here is the preset

Here is an example of before and after so you can get an idea of what the preset does.




and another couple examples for kicks




Be forewarned, depending on your picture you may have to change your exposure and black levels, I had to do those differently for each picture.

I hope this is of some use to someone. Let me know if you use it, and if you could show an example it would just make my day

Just popped this over to post-processing for you.

Have you tried your preset with subjects other than people? It looks quite nice on your examples I must say. I'll have a play with it later (must remember to bookmark the thread).

Hmmm Nicole, excellent thought. I had not done the preset with anything other than that session actually! what a terrible mistake on my part. So you can have some examples here of stuff that is not people and are from completely different sessions. I can't believe I didn't think of that first!

This one had nothing done other than the preset applied


This one required some tweaking to the exposure and black levels


I hope I didn't over shoot my posting limit, although technically they were posted on different days lol. I shouldn't be posting any more pics today so hopefully that works.

Hope this helped too!

Oh and thanks for moving the thread to where it was supposed to be. I'll remember for next time!

No worries about the extra pictures. The technique areas are a little unique on the forums like that because we all know sometimes it takes a few more than 4 photos to demonstrate a technique.

I'm definitely going to try out that preset. I like the results that you showed so far! So thanks very much for sharing it!

My pleasure! If you do use it I would love to see how your stuff turns out!

Downloaded it, I'll play with it later.
