It’s not the first time I publish presets from MikeyG. He just sent me his latest bundle of presets. His previous film emulation presets has been very popular out there and this time you won’t be disappointed either. All 12…
How can you success making better looking photos?
Step one to success - Digital cameras and big memory cards
Get a big memory card for your camera. In the old days you had to think carefully when to press the button or not. You had to make a choice if the motive in front of you was worthy enough to be put in an album or not. After all you just had 24 or 36 frames per film roll.
With a digital camera and Lightroom, everyone can be a pro.
Ever wanted to take those fantastic photos you see in magazines or on professional photographers' websites? Well now you can. All you need is a good digital camera, a big memory card and suitable software like Adobe Lightroom.
It's time for a new preset. This time I've made one that might make your photos look sterile or medical, if you know what I mean. It will boost the contrast, fade the colors and apply a blue tone to the shadows and a touch of beige to the highlights. I also added some vignettes to add some depth to the photo. I sure like the feeling of it and I hope you will as well. Happy downloading until we "meet" again.
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 :-)
It's December and that means darkness, well at least for me. When I go to work in the morning it is dark outside. When I go home it's the same. With this in mind I created a new preset called "PH Bedtime". You'll understand why, when you look at my preview image or when you try it out yourself.
The purpose of this preset was to make daylight photos look more like late evening photos. Try it on architectural shots and you'll see how the dramatic feeling increases. Time for bed now...
David Martschinske, photographer and visitor of presetsheaven, has made some adjustments to my earlier posted preset called "Fog Killer". His version of "Fog Killer" has a more subtle feeling and might be a good complement to the original preset. If you haven't tried out the first "Fog killer" preset you can get it here.
Phew, it's been a tough week at work and now it's already Friday. Sorry for my delayed update but I've just not had the energy to write a new article earlier this week. I'm sitting in my sofa with my laptop in my knees, watching CSI and developing a new preset... This multitasking ended up in a new preset called "Faded Colorness". It works best on pretty light photos and it's available in two versions; one with normal clarity and the other one with +100 clarity. Have a nice weekend, to all of you!
The presets keep coming in by mail! Recently I got a new preset from Brandon at x-equals. This preset was, until now, only available to people who signed up to x-equals newsletter. From today it's exclusively available for download here at presetsheaven. It's a very elegant and subtle one that works in many situations. For those who are into wedding photography, this preset is a must. Shots of the bride and bouquets - especially close-ups just look terrific! I've had the pleasure to be the photographer of two weddings. In this post I have chosen to show you two of my wedding shots as preview images. It really looks great and I strongly recommend you to try this on your photos.
I'm in the middle of a restoration of my kitchen and almost all of the time I'm stuck there, working like a maniac to get it done. I still feel I have to give you guys some new posts and updates in between my kitchen project. I'm a big fan of RSS , twitter and newsletters and just love when I get updates from sites I follow. So with that in mind I believe you feel the same way as soon as you get an update notice from my site. Before I have to go back to my kitchen I give you the "Sepia Chic", one of Wonderlands latest free presets (got it by mail last week).
