Brandon from x-equals.com is a new contributor to presetsheaven. Today I’m posting a review of his latest preset called “City Scapes“. From my point of view it lightens up those dull images into clear shiny ones. This preset works best on photos that have an average lightness and darkness. If your photos have a bright overall look, the preset most likely will burn out the white areas in them. To be sure this not happen, try decreasing the amount of the exposure adjustments in Lightroom.

Lightroom is not like Photoshop but it’s a great tool if you just want to make small retouching of your photos. A perfect use for this is when you want to remove spots or small things in your photos that might disturb the eye. One common thing to do in the digital world is to remove “dust spots”. These spots often become visible if you change lenses on your camera in a non-clean environment. They get trapped in your camera house and after that, all your photos will have the spots on them.
