Hey Matt, I am a NAPP member, and downloaded your Camera Raw presets (Still in process of getting Lightroom), and I absolutely love them. They work excellent on a variety of pictures, and if you go to my website, you will notice that I have used most or all of them in some picture or another. Thanks again

Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to good these vignetting effects are. In the examples shown they do not help the image in the slightest and as for the darkest one it simply gives the effect of the lenshood being too long for the lens! If vignetting can help an image then let’s see some proper examples. I enjoy most of Matts presets but won’t be using these.

Thanks for the edge darkening presets! I love having the consistency across photos. I appreciate your work! Along with your expertise, your positive and friendly attitude toward photogs of all abilities and backgrounds is what keeps me coming back to learn more.

Can – Creating a preset isn’t about the cool effects all the time. Now, don’t you think that hitting a preset for medium darkening is easier than moving 2-3 sliders. If you don’t like the presets don’t use them, it’s that simple.

Thanks Matt! for everything

Delete the adjustment brush dot….click on the pin/dot you want deleted…hit delete.

thanks Matt..

but.. why dont you give some more useful things instead of giving such simple stuff???
edge darkening happens by dragging just 2 or 3 sliders to the left side and everybody can do it without a preset.. not difficult to find the sliders, because they are all below eachother..!

im expecting from you some more shortcuts for example.. especially for the brush tool. i think i tried everything to delete a single DOT, that appears when you start to draw.. i can delete the mask with Alt+DRAW. but sometimes it is necessary to delete this single DOT (not all DOTS)..

i find it very cool what you do here.. presets, tips, videos..etc. presets like Sin City Effect, Lomo Effect, 300 effect are my favourites.. thank you very very much for these stuff..
but Edge Darkening.. this is done with just 2-3 sliders.. come on Matt.. you can do better!!!

They work really well Matt, just tried them out. I think they could use to be a bit more intense (dark) however. Or maybe just a wider range. Looks like you’re already planning on making more though. Thanks for the goodies.

I definitely love the new vignette options! Used to have to take a picture into Photoshop or bounce it out and back into LR to get the vignettes I wanted. No more! As always… thanks for sharing!
