For those of you who are Cokin Filter graduate filter fans…..

Chromasoftware (www.cromasoftware.com) has a set of filters for Photoshop that duplicate Cokin filters down to the Coken filter #, and you can rotate the filter across 360 degrees just like you would do on a film camera

Thanks for these great presets. Now I can easily put color and vibrancy into photos of the overcast gray glare that is the so-called light of too many days here in the Pacific Northwest. Lightroom 2 is great but your presets (and Sean’s) add a lot to my use of and understanding of it. (Tweaking presets to see what happens how — great fun!)

Hey Matt,

I just good back from Rome with some pictures with a washed out sky. Your presets just save the day and restored most of the detail. Such a minor correction has improved several of my pictures tremendously.

Thanks a billion for providing these excellent presets for free on your blog.

I hate ad, but I NEVER ask somebody to remove the ads from their websites.. That’s silly. Anyway, another nice preset, I collect all of your presets, Matt.. Kind of a stalker

Thanks for sharing these wonderful presets for FREE..

God Bless,

Hey, Matt,
As always, you’ve hit another home run here with the grad presets. Thank you very much for sharing your work with your readers-watchers-jealous Lightroomers! You make this program fun and useful.
God bless.

Great idea Matt to distribute them. And I have another reason to update to LR2. The examples look great. Thanks in advance. Jaap (Netherlands)

Matt,

Any idea’s on how to connect a Canon 50D to a 64-bit Vista PC to shoot tethered? Seems like Canon and Nikon have not yet embraced the 64-bit operating system, which does not make sense. After all, the push for a larger mega pixel count, makes RAW files larger, which in turn encourages us to jam more RAM into our PC’s, and thus my switch to the 64-bit OS, which breaks the 4GB RAM barrier.

Can you influential guys do anything about this? I mean Adobe sure saw the light, what’s with Canon & Nikon? Why are they so non committal about releasing 64-bit drivers for their pro cameras? You got pretty fired up about some HRD stuff the other week, well I think this is another worthy cause to get fired up about. What’s the point in getting all this 64-bit software for photographers, it you can’t plug your camera into your 64-bit machine to start off with? Sure, you can whip yer flash card out and shove it into a card reader, but I’m talking about tethered shooting (full camera control from your PC).

Help please!!!

Great preset, thanks so much. Dickie and Sean mentioned vertical presets mismatch the image for some people. Dickie, how do you adjust the template to compensate?
