Lightroom Presets

Presets – Hard Edgy Look

Before we get to the preset, I wanted to let you know that Datacolor (makes of the Spyder monitor calibration system) is hosting a free webinar on Wednesday March 17 from 2-3pm. Here’s the details.

OK, on to the preset. This week I’m going back to an edgier look for a preset. I’ve actually included two in this one – hard edge and soft edge. They’re both pretty contrast and come from a look that I see out there a lot lately. You’ll find there’s a little bit of everything thrown into this one. If it looks too strong (or not strong enough), I’ve found that tweaking the Exposure and Blacks sliders usually helps, as its hard to create a preset that nails Exposure and Blacks for every photo.

As always, your comments are welcome. Download ’em and let me know what you think.
