11 presets for night-shots by Sarah
Sarah has once again made a great contribution to Presets Heaven. You probably already got some of her presets in your presets archive but these are 11 brand new ones. “-These presets will not impact exposure and brighness, so you’ll want to adjust those setting either before or after applying the presets to get the results you want. Also, since these are specifically for night-time shots that may have required a high ISO, the noise reduction settings will not be impacted by the presets, as you will want to adjust those yourself depending on your personal tolerance for noise. And while these presets were developed for RAW (uncompressed) files, most of them should work for JPEG files as well; you’ll just need to tweak a little more here and there.” Read more

11 presets for different autumn feelings
Sarah-Ji just sent me a contribution including 11 (!) presets. All of them with a theme of autumn colors.
These presets are non-destructive to basic exposure settings for the most part, so you will want to apply the settings AFTER you have corrected things like exposure, fill light, black, brightness and contrast. Check them out… Read more
Oldschool skintone – revamped
This is a new edition of an older preset called “PH Oldschool skintone“. I’ve made some adjustments both for brightness and darkness. Finally I’ve added some vignettes to it. If you’re photos tend to get to dark I suggest you decrease the values for the vignettes. It’s been some time since I published a new preset but being fully employed and at the same time running my own business is quite time-consuming. But here we go again… I hope you like it. Read more

CSI Miami look preset II
Earlier I made a preset called CSI Miami. That preset mostly changed the saturation and color tones in a hard way. This time I made a new version called CSI Miami II (of course 
) It consists of three graduated filters, adjustments on white balance and some color tone changes.
You might wanna move the graduated filters (up or down depending on the horizon) to make the effect look good on your photos. Keep in mind that this preset works best on photos like the one in the example below.
By the way… I took this shot in Miami when I was there with my wife on our honeymoon Read more
