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.

wow I love that preset. Hey Pierre, I got to ask you a question about the lightroom. when I open the light room then got the message saying the abode photoshop not working and the program has to be closed. I have uninstall and reinstall but still getting the same message just about all day long. I got to have the lightroom running. Is there any way you can help me out with and to solve the problem? Hopefully you can!!

Thank you “Grandma”!
It’s hard to tell what kind of problem is causing the start-up error. I suggest you try to look for an answer at the adobe forum for Lightroom: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc2cf0a/
Hopefully someone will have a better answer to your problem.

Strange, but I’ll try it. For the right picture it is probably dynomite! It has an interesting look to it.

Your site is an heaven sent to me just like the name goes…
I’m just learning how to use lightroom. But I’m not getting a hang of it.
I love all the presets… I cant wait to test them out.
I’m sure my work will see a better day from them.
Thank you and keep up the good work.
