Presets – The Twilight Preset
It’s official. I’ve jumped on the vampire bandwagon too. It’s impossible not to with all of the movies and TV shows out there. It doesn’t help that my wife is totally addicted to True Blood on HBO. Anyway, I’ve got a new group of presets this week that were inspired by the Twilight saga movie posters. There’s actually a few movie posters with a lot of different looks, but I’ve settled on the ones here. They do a few things with color saturation, white balance, split toning and some vignetting of course. The first two give a nice effect that can be used on various portrait photos (probably best for dramatic portraits though). The last one really takes a lot of the color out of skin tones so be careful with it but hey, you never know when you want that vampire look.
As always, your comments are welcome. Download ’em and let me know what you think.
Here’s an example of the medium version. (click to see it larger).

4) Select the .lrtemplate files you unzipped in Step 1 and click Import NOTE: DO NOT IMPORT THE ZIP FILE
This text is worth everyone’s attention. Where can I find
out more?
Pretty! This was an extremely wonderful article. Many thanks for providing these details.
If you are going for most excellent contents like myself,
simply visit this website every day since it provides quality contents, thanks
Is there any way to download this preset from somewhere?
Hi, I think your blog might be having rowser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give yyou a quick heads up!
Other then that, fantastic blog!
Nice preset. Can I use it commercially?
Wonderful colours! Thank you for sharing!
How come I only see export or new folder when I right click in the presets box? Help pleaseeeee!
Thanks Matt – I’ve been using LR for a year now and reading your blog – I finally got around to downloading some of your presets – and now I have no idea why I didn’t before! Thank you so much for these – and this Twilight one is one of my favourites so far!
hey Matt, if you ever get hooked on Vampire Diaries and youre in Atlanta, you should come to my home town (covington – about 45min away) where it’s filmed and shoot some of the historic houses/buildings
Last effect looks like John Mayer on his “Havier Things” -Coverart. Maybe you already knew it when you chose the model with that Strat 🙂
Greets from Germany!
Great presets, loving the Lightroom diversity at the moment.

Thank You!! for the presets…….
Matt, Is there any chance that you will put a download of all of your preset at once?
Something like a preset pack.
I like your stuff Matt. I just got LR3, it is my first time using lightroom. Got the Scott book and I am learning away. I saw this preset and I have a question about it. The last image, the guitar player. The after has a light spot behind him. Did the preset add that light in, or was that a photoshop touch? I wondered because the other 3 do not “seem” have light added in. Thanks in advance, Dennis.
Hey Dennis. It’s a vignette from the preset. You can see it a little in some of the others but the background was brighter in that photo so it stands out more.
Thanks!
How come I only see export or new folder when I right click in the presets box? Help pleaseeeee!
NOT YOU TOO! HOW COULD YOU! OK BTW, love the presets, tho.
Hey Matt,
Nice presets! Really appreciate your hard work putting these together for us! My wife and I are heading to New England on Thursday. Really looking forward to the color change, lighthouses, covered bridges and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream! 🙂
Dennis
lovely presets, Thank you!!!
How nice……lovely presets on a Monday morning. Thank you.
Thanks Matt! Great work!
LOL,
WELL HERE WE GO,
ALWAYS A DONKEY IN THE GROUP THAT’S GOT TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF A TYPO.
GREAT PRESET MATT!
AS ALWAYS!
And here we go again. Always a donkey in the group, that’s got to write a comment in caps.
🙂
Great preset Matt!
Nice job Matt, will give them a go.
Wow! Really nice one!
“NOTE: YOU MUST BE THE DEVELOP MODULE”
puuuh…this i a tough challenge…..I really like LR, but to be honest: I don’t think that I could say I am a develop module…
😉
ps: very nice preset! great work!
Thanks Theo. It’s fixed.
But… you could BE the Develop module. Become one with it my young apprentice 😉
Just curious, is there a camera raw version of this?
Ok I have to admit, I too am a fan of True Blood; there I said it 🙂
Superb presets Matt, thanks for sharing these.
Best wishes to you,
Glyn
No need to be ashamed, it’s a kickass show!
Matt,
thanks for the presets: I like the effect.
When I looked at your samples, I was thinking that it would be great to be able to paint a develop preset selectively on the photo…would be a great addition to LR 4!
What if I’m not “the develop module” and just a regular everyday normal guy? 😛

Thanks for this. It looks cool, I like the blue vignetting a lot.
