Hi all! I was out this weekend and took some architectural photos of different environments. One of the shots was this old church door. I like the framing of it and the wooden ornaments in the middle. Beside that the colors of it was quite faded and gray, so I decided to boost it a little. And that's when I came up with this new preset called PH Green Door.
Dry your tears... Even if Polaroid in February 2008 announced they would cease production of all instant film, you still have the possibility to fake it. Brandon at X-equals has made two new presets that simulates the look of the old classic Polaroid instant film; Polaroid 669 (ISO 80 Color Film).
Hi all Lightroom lovers.
Since you probably are here because of the presets I publish, why not take the time to join the first contest from Presetsheaven. In cooperation with Wonderland you Now have the chance to be one of three lucky winners of a professional preset kit ($39.99 value)!!!
This time I'll just let others talk about Lightroom. I've collected 10 video tutorials from Youtube that might be of interest for some of you. Most of us are so eager to start playing around with new software and stuff (cellphones or TV etc) that we often forgetthe "other" great features of it. With this in mind I thought that this list of video tutorials might open your eyes to some features you've might have seen but not yet tested in Lightroom. Learning by practice is always a good way to do it, but to first see it being done by somebody else is even better...
Happy holidays! I really hope all of you've had a great Christmas- and New Years eve. I've had a great time for sure. Lots of food and time in the sofa :-) The amount of subscribers to my weekly newsletter have increased rapidly the last couple of weeks. So nice to see. After all it's a free and nice service for all of you. Anyway... During this holiday I have recieved a bunch of e-mails from many of you (thanks!). One of the mails were from Jasper who had included a preset that makes your photos look "old school"; You know that feeling when colors are faded and the photos look like if they have been laying in a box for many years untouched. The preset is called "PaecKE's old skool toning"...
Hi everyone!
I hope you've had a great Christmas Eve. As always I'm the one who seems to be missing on every photograph from Christmas. I guess it's my own fault when I choose to stand behind the camera :-) Anyway, I thought I just had to give you a little Christmas gift before the year ends. Here it is, a new preset called "PH Christmas Tree". As you can see it intensifies the green colors and adds a little more contrast to the photo...
This preset is from the Wonderland Presets 3.0 collection. Nate who is the founder of Wonderland sent me this preset to be exclusively downloadable here at Presetsheaven. As many of you already know, Nate has been a great contributor to my site since I started it. If you're a preset fan yourself and think you have a preset that others will like, don'thesitate to send it to me and I'll make sure the rest of the world will find it :-)
Now lets continue with the preset from Wonderland...
The name of the preset is "Creative Catalyst 1" and it's a color desaturation preset that works great on portraits.
Since I started using Lightroom I more often have a look at my old holiday photos. I believe the reason is because I like to play/experiment with them. Earlier I used Photoshop for this, but using "actions" in Photoshop is quite time-consuming since the only way of seeing an effect is to first apply it. If you know exactly what your action does, it works great though. If I'm just going to play with a particular photo, Photoshop would still be a good choice, but when it comes to multiple images...no thank you. With Lightroom I find it so easy to play with my photos because of the sweet live-preview function. Without it I really don't think I would spend as much time in Lightroom as I do.
Tonight I found some of my city-shots from a holiday in Firenze. It ended up with this new preset called "PH In the city".
I've just updated the layout of presetsheaven.com once again. This time I've added a couple of nice features that I hope You all will like.
From now on I will highlight featured content such as popular articles and presets at the main page. This will give you a great overview of what you can find in my "candybox".
Sitting here with my laptop in my knees as I’ve done so many nights before:-) I Connected my 1TB external disk and opened Lightroom without any idéas on what to do. After playing around with the adjustments for some time…
