PH GreenYellow for a bright and soft effect
Long time no see, but here I am again with a new preset for both Lightroom 2 and 3!
I’ve been soo busy the last couple of months that I almost feel bad for you guys. I’ve been shooting lots of funny things including jewelry and some maternity photos. I bring my camera everywhere I go actually. If I don’t, I’m afraid i will miss an opportunity to “catch” a moment 
I’ve been using Lightroom 3 for some time now and I must say it’s really a good investment if you’re into photography and been using LR 2 before. The improvements of noise reduction is my absolute favorite among all other great news in LR3.
Today I’ve made a new preset called YellowGreen! It makes your photos brighter with a soft tone of “yellow-green” and some purple Since most of you probably still using Lightroom 2 I’ve made two versions of this preset. One for LR2 and one for LR3. Read more
Fashionable look with a little Lightroom preset
Greetings! I’m sitting here with a cold and have way to many projects going on to actually be making presets for you guys I’m not sure how many times I’ve received mails from people all over asking me how to “get that look” in Lightroom. Most frequent request is the fashion look. You know what I mean… the photos you see in magazines and advertisements with happy people on the beach etc. I’m going to Rome this Sunday so I thought it would be nice to give you a little gift before I leave… Yep, a new preset.

2 presets for weddings
Marie-Edith sent me two presets she has made for wedding shots. The first one to make them look bright and creamy.
Basically it’s increasing exposure/brightness, adding warmth, contrast, vibrance, slight vignette and portrait sharpening.
The second one is a brighter version for underexposed photos. Read more
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
3 presets from Dominic
Every now and then I receive presets from people out “there” who like to share their work with all the rest of us. I think it’s great so keep doing that! This time Dominic sent me three presets from his own collection. I’ve just tried them out and if you like to try them too… here they are. 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
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
