Desaturate that photo and make it fade away
Hi folks,
Once again I’ve been playing around for some time in Lightroom and this time it resulted in a brand new preset. I call it PH Fade away because it desaturates the photo and gives it a bit of mocha touch.
The shadows are leveled out to flow with the lightness and the black areas have increased contrast adjustments to bring depth to the photo. Read more
They want to turn Polaroid back to life
A team called “The Impossible Project” have settled an agreement with Polaroid to use their old factory in Holland.
They now plan to re-start the production of the legendary analog Integral film.
A preset for your architectural photos.
Hi all! I was out this weekend and took some architectural photos of different environments. One of the shots was this old church door. I like the framing of it and the wooden ornaments in the middle. Beside that the colors of it was quite faded and gray, so I decided to boost it a little. And that’s when I came up with this new preset called PH Green Door.
I have tried it on a couple of photos I’ve taken during cloudy days and it really works great.
It’s time to get polaroided.
Dry your tears…
Even if Polaroid in February 2008 announced they would cease production of all instant film, you still have the possibility to fake it digitally.
Brandon at X-equals has made two new presets that simulates the look of the old classic Polaroid instant film; Polaroid 669 (ISO 80 Color Film). Brandon have contributed with great presets before so I think you should try these out even this time.

10 great video tutorials for Lightroom
This time I’ll just let others talk about Lightroom. I’ve collected 10 video tutorials from Youtube that might be of interest for some of you. Most of us are so eager to start playing around with new software and stuff (cellphones or TV etc) that we often forget the “other” great features of it. With this in mind I thought that this list of video tutorials might open your eyes to some features you’ve might have seen but not yet tested in Lightroom. Learning by practice is always a good way to do it, but to first see it being done by somebody else is even better… Read more
Another old school photo look
Happy holidays! I really hope all of you’ve had a great Christmas- and New Years eve. I’ve had a great time for sure. Lots of food and time in the sofa 
The amount of subscribers to my weekly newsletter have increased rapidly the last couple of weeks and it’s so nice to see, after all it’s a free and nice service for all of you.
Anyway… During this holiday I have recieved a bunch of e-mails from many of you (thanks!).

The preset is called “PaecKE’s old skool toning”… Read more
