LD Scoria and Elite – Two new preset contributes to the heaven.

Once again I have the pleasure to present two new presets that recently came into my mailbox. Travis is the contributor this time. He sent me two presets that are called “LD Elite” and “LD Scoria“. LD Elite is using a pretty high value for the “Fill Light” adjustment. The saturation has been reduced. On top of this a brown tone-mapping is applied. If your photos tend to be too bright I suggest you start by playing around with the fill light value.

LD Scoria on the other hand, is using higher values for both the Exposure and Fill Light. This is common to achieve a similar look to HDR or the Dave Hill style. Of course there are more settings that have been changed in this preset. The presets are not applicable on all kinds of photos but you’ll notice this when you start play around with them. Read more
