Desaturate that photo and make it fade away

Once again I've been playing around for some time in Lightroom and this time it resulted in a brand new preset. I call it PH Fade away because it desaturates the photo and gives it a bit of mocca touch. The shadows are leveled out to flow with the lightness and the black areas have increased contrast adjustments to bring depth to the photo.

A preset for your architectural photos.

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.

It’s time to get polaroided.

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).

Another old school photo look

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"...

A little Christmas touch

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...

Get that 80’s look

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…

Everyone can be a Pro – part 2

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.

Cold Desire gives a soft blue tone…

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.
