Get the CSI Miami look
This is my first attempt to make some ocean/beach photos look like they were taken from the series CSI Miami. All of you who have seen this series know what I mean. All movie shots from that series have a very warm yellow/green tone with. It’s hard to explain but the before/after images below might give you a clue of what I’m talking about.
This preset has a graduated filter applied as well. Move it to fit your own horizontal and adjust the saturation of it if needed. I use it to basically transform grey skies into blue. Read more
Intensify your blue heaven
It’s a new week and why not start it with a preset? Today I was looking at some pictures from my last vacation in Firenze (Italy) 2008. From the hotel room I took some photos of the environment outside. There were lots of roofs and a blue sky out there.
Every time I start playing around in Lightroom with some photos, I notice they all can be improved in some way. This time one of my photos looked a bit faded and had a dull sky and an overall gray feeling. So I created this new preset that I call “PH Intensive Heaven“, but as you can see it intensify more than just the blue colors. Try it yourself, you might like it!

Colorize your autumn photos with Lightroom

The preset is available in two versions, one with vignettes and the other without. Read more

The Subtle Color Pop preset pops the colors
This is a response to a preset request in the presetsheaven flickr group. I’ve attempted to make a preset that makes the color subtly pop out, just near the limit to what is unnatural. When it comes to color adjustments in Lightroom, It’s always hard to make a preset that works for all images. The lightness and darkness in the images plays a big role here. I still think it works pretty good on most of my images. Check out “Subtle Color Pop“… Read more
