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.
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).
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...
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…
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.
