A big pack of free Lightroom presets from William
Once again we have a new great contribution of Lightroom presets! This time William, a wedding & portrait photographer from Maryland, has sent us a great set of presets. I let him explain them himself:
“I thought I’d send in some presets that we use here in the studio all the time. There are three sets.”
1. HDR Effect
There’s four of them, delivering various levels of the same effect. By themselves they won’t look so great. They’re designed to be applied after using another preset, dealing with color and tone is used. Try them out and you’ll see what I mean. In some situations, they will produce a ghosting effect around high contrast edges, so you have to know when to use them, but our clients usually love the results, even though they have no idea why. Specific adjustment to blacks, exposure and saturation/vibrance will usually be necessary.
2. Common Basic Adjustments
These are a simple set of presets that apply varying degrees of only one setting. We use these all the time for quick adjustments to lots of similar images. Rather than selecting a lot of images and making adjustments to the sliders, which can sometimes produce unpredictable results, just a few clicks on these presets speeds things up a lot, in our experience.
3. Style Assortment
This is a set of three stylized presets which we don’t use a whole lot anymore, but have gotten a lot of love in the past. They are basic adjustments to split toning, tone curve and post-crop vignette.
In this post we will only show you the preview of what the Style Assortment presets look like. Read more
28 free Lightroom presets from Chris
Once again I’ve got a great contribution with presets from a Photographer named Chris! With this set of totally 28 (!) presets you can really save some time during your post-processing. Try them out on different photos and you’ll learn how to use them to get the most out of them. Some work better on dark photos while some of them work best on lighter ones. They are intended to work best on portraits and wedding shots, but I was curious to try them out on a different kind of photo that I took in Venice a couple of month ago. 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

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. Read more
