A preset that make your photos soft and fashionable
Hi there folks!
Lately I’ve been busy with all kinds of stuff except updating PH with new content so I felt it was time to make, at least one, contribution before the week ends. This time I’ve made a preset that will try to simulate a special kind of fashion photos. You know the ones with a soft tone and less contrast? It’s hard to achieve in Lightroom but I think I got pretty close on this one. You should try it out to see if it suites your own shots. Some of mine did pretty well actually.
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
What the eyes can’t see…
Hi all!
Yesterday I was on a seminar about web trends and took some photos. The light in the room wasn’t good enough to take photos without using a flash. Still, I took some test-shots before I turned my flash on and the result was not satisfying at all. In fact, some of the photos was so bad you couldn’t see what was on them. Fortunately I had my external flash with me and was able to take some really nice shots on this day. But, imagine you just had one shot and no flash this time and your photo turned into blackness… Read more
A great way to use graduated filters for spectacular horizons
When you’re out taking photos of horizons (oceans, beaches and landscapes etc) you really have to think twice before you take the shot. With an incorrect measurement in the camera it’s hard to get the right exposure on both sides of the horizon. Sometimes you don’t even have the time to adjust your camera to get the perfect exposure. Lightroom is just the tool for you when it comes to horizons and exposure problems. Read more
Burn the light into bright
Hi everone! It’s been sometime now since I last updated PH with a preset. I’m sorry about that but I’ve been soo busy planning my upcoming wedding in September. I almost wish someone else could do it for me. ;-). The most important parts have been solved though and a photographer have been booked! I know I’m going to be so eager to see the photos right away.
Enough about my wedding and let’s focus on my brand new preset. I just call it PH Portrait Brightness because of its edgy and hard contrast effect. See for yourself and enjoy the download! Read more
3 presets to mimic a movie look
Hi everyone!
Neil Cowley from makelightreal.com sent me a set of three Black and White Lightroom presets to mimic film Contrast management techniques to mimic the tonal response of black and white films. Just download them and put them together with the rest of you Black & White presets. By now that list should be pretty long I guess (if you’ve been following my posts for some time now). Check out the testresults below. Read more

Just when you thought you had all kinds of black & white presets, these popped up. Nate from wonderlandpresets.com has contributed a lot to Presets Heaven before.

These are all part of his Wonderland 3.0 collection.
Nate’s goal was to create a quiver of black and white preset options that were not over the top, but still offered some edge. Read more
Let me enhance the beach…
Hi everyone,
It has been some time now and I feel a bit ashamed I haven’t updated you with more presets lately. Obviously I’ve been on a two week trip to Thailand recently which made it impossible (well, almost) to get you some LR candy. I have around 700 photos that are lying on my externad HD right now, photos I’ve taken during this trip. It take some time to “take care” of them but when it’s done I promise I will show you some of them 
Right now I’m happy to give you a brand new preset. I call it “Ocean Power“. I made it when I was cleaning up some of my beach shots to enhance to colors and brightness.The photo is one of Read more
A preset that goes dark in black and white
It has been some time now since I published a new preset. I’m sorry about that but I’ve been totally filled up with work and planning. I felt I just had to give you a new preset before the week end. This preset preset is called PH Dark & Light BW. I think it works great on some of my holiday photos. They tend to look more like an old postcard when I apply this preset. Enjoy. Read more
