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.

5 great presets from Dustin
Hi everyone!
I got a mail from Dustin with a link back to his website where I could find some of his presets (free to use). I’ve tried them out and here they are for the rest of you. If you’re looking for that “Fashion look” on your model shots some of them might actually work pretty good. Read more
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
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
Export to FTP with Lightroom
When you’re making webgalleries in Lightroom you are able to upload your gallery directly to an FTP-server. But if you are a photographer who just wants to upload your files to an FTP-server, without the gallery files (html, flash etc.) you’re toast… until now. 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
Dramatic Ocean – For both sky and water
I was sitting here with my old crappy laptop (you can’t even imagine) trying to be creative for a moment. After three crashes I almost gave up but I was to close to my goal…
Recently there was a “great” storm outside and I just had to take a ride out to the ocean to see it in action. I probably took about 150 shots before I went home again.
Actually I wanted to try to make some new HDR images (with three or more images merged) but my tripod was way to cheap to stand against the wind for multiple EV shots. Anyway I still got some nice shots and some that didn’t reached the top-10. Read more
