I was playing around in Lightroom and suddenly came up with a sweet preset I just had to share with you guys. I call it PH Hardrocker because it makes your photos grainy and hard looking. You should definitely try it out! Check out the before/after images and you’ll see what I mean…

This is great, thanks.
so nice!! thank you for sharing!
awesome… ;-)
Love the preset, but I notice in Lightroom 2 when sliding the clarity down it has a soft glow effect to it. How would I remove the soft glow?
Hi David and thanks for your comment!
When sliding clarity down below “0”, the glow effect will always appear. It’s meant to be that way in LR. I suggest you try to decrease the contrast instead to achieve the effect you’re trying to get. You can also decrease a little on the clarity (not below 0 though) and play with both “Brightness” and “Contrast”.

Thanks for sharing your presets. Used this one on a whole set of DragonCon images from parade in downtown Atlanta. Got great feedback from viewers so I tweeted your link so they could download it too!
