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
6 new presets to “wow” your photos
I’ve been sitting here for hours now. Playing around in Lightroom, testing and adjusting before I finally got satisfied. Photoshop have a nice feature called “Curve adjustments” where you can change the color channels (RGB) separately with a few clicks with your mouse. I really wish Lightroom had that feature built in. Anyway, I started this session by doing some curve adjustments in Photoshop. When I was satisfied I tried to accomplish the same result in Lightroom. It’s really not that easy, I can tell for sure. A couple hours of testing and I’m sitting here with 6 new presets. Actually it is a set of three presets with two options each; one with vingettes and one without. Read more
Oldschool skintone – a pro-preset?
I really like this preset that I recently made. It’s perfect for my wedding shots and works perfect for light photos like the one I use in this example. I will surley use this preset many times for my clients photo albums. It’s so fun to see and hear their positive reactions when they look at something they didn’t expect. Some of my presets gives a more experimental look than professional. I consider this preset to be a pro-preset and hope you really enjoy it. Read more
Make your photos look professional in B&W
Hello dear reader!
This week I visited an old friend of mine. I brought my camera (as always) and took some photos of their lovely kids. The newest member of the family is “Meja”. She was curious about that big camera lens in front of her face. Her head and eyes followed it all the time. Who said it was hard to take photos of kids? hehe Read more

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
Boost your photos with these new presets.
Tonight I got mail from Victor with a preset as attachment in it! Victor wrote “CWP Boost Is a preset that “boosts” the picture, when you want to add more “drama” to it.” I tried it on a photo I took in Denmark when I was on vacation earlier this year. As a before/Sooc photo, this one is perfect to try presets on. Basically all presets make great impact on this specific photo. That includes “CWP Boost” as well.
As you can see it has a pretty strong vignettes effect. So, I decided to include a couple of variations with less vignettes to make this preset more useful on a wider range of photos. Here you go, three presets delivered on a silver plate.

Naturally BW – The sweetest black and white preset so far
Yesterday, me and my girlfriend was out driving the car when we suddenly saw this cute bull on the side of the road. “STOP THE CAR, I have to take photo of him!”. At first he was a bit careful and reserved but then he slowly walked towards us. I took some snapshots before we went home. Inside of Lightroom later this day, I started to play around with the settings on the photos and came up with a pretty sweet preset that really works well on all my other photos as well. A success like this must be shared to the rest. So here it is; PH Naturally BW… Read more
