previewthumbI’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

1 famous way to improve your photos – The S-curve preset

All right guys and girls, here comes one of the most common things we Photoshop lovers do when we want to improve our photos. It’s called the S-curve adjustment. -Now what is that? Well In Photoshop there are many ways to adjust the levels of the dark and white areas in a photo. By intensifying these areas, a greater contrast is achieved in the photo you’re editing. SOOC images you grab directly from your camera tend to have a dull layer above them. The S-curve is exactly what is sounds like, it’s a path that looks like an diagonal lying “S”. In Lightroom there is a setting called “Tone Curve” (It’s called Curves in Photoshop) it works exactly like in Photoshop. The only thing this preset does is to apply this S-curve setting on your photos. That’s it, just +50 Lights and -50 Darks. Pretty simple but very effective. The preset is called “PH CleanUp S-Curve”.
