Among the new features is a grain effect that people have been asking for to simulate film grain. So I figured what better candidate for a new preset then some grain effects. They're pretty straightforward and there's 3 versions of the effect from Light, to Medium to Heavy. I purposely left off any black and white, lomo, or cross-process settings (which is the type of photo we see this effect being added to) because I figure you'll apply those settings to your photo first and then add some grain at the end. Also, before you have a look at them though, you should realize two things: 1) The grain effect really needs to be zoomed into 100% to see best. You can see it at lower zoom levels but don't make any judgment calls on it until you see it at 100%. 2) On a personal note, I'm actually not that into the "grain" look.

But hey, I totally get that A LOT of people really like this effect. Its been on the hot list of requests for quite some time now. So enjoy and please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Today I've got an update to some older retouching presets I created for the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 2.

These presets focus on some of the basic retouching effects you can achieve with the Adjustment Brush. Now, before you download them, keep one thing in mind. These aren't for high-end fashion retouching. Photoshop is still the best place for that. They're geared for some quick enhancements that you can do right in Lightroom when you just don't have the time to move the photos into Photoshop. In this set, I've included: 1) Brightening/Whitening Teeth 2) Whiten Eyes 3) Red Lips 4) Iris Enhance 5) Skin Softening (Low) 6) Skin Softening (High) Just like the last set of retouching brushes, I tried to stay pretty conservative on the settings but one of the challenges I came across was the settings worked differently on different photos. But I do think they're a good starting place. Plus, you can always quickly adjust the sliders after you apply them. Anyway, these are a little different to install from the regular Develop presets so here's the instructions. 1) Navigate to your Lightroom presets folder. The easiest way to do this is to go to Lightroom's preferences by clicking the Lightroom menu and choosing Preferences (PC: Edit Preferences). Then choose the Presets tab and click the "Show Lightroom Presets Folder" button to open the Lightroom Folder. 2) Now go into the Lightroom Folder. Then go into the Local Adjustment Presets folder. You'll know you're in the right folder because you should see the file "Soften Skin.lrtemplate" there too. NOTE: A number of Mac readers commented that their presets were not stored here. Here is the location that a few readers gave, though mine are not located here: Pictures/Lightroom Settings/Local Adjustment Presets 3) UNZIP the file you downloaded from the bottom of this post. I repeat UNZIP the file you downloaded. Do not try to install the ZIP file :) 4) Copy and paste the ".lrtemplate" files into the Local Adjustment Presets folder. 5) Restart Lightroom Enjoy! • Click here to download Matt's Retouching Brushes.

I've got another summery preset for you today. First, don't forget that I'll be teaching a full-day Lightroom seminar in Chicago on July 20th and New York City on July 22nd. You can sign up over at KelbyTrainingLive.com. I'd love to see ya there. OK, now on to the preset. I was experimenting with the Summer Haze preset I created a while back and came up with another one that looks similar but different enough to create a whole new preset. I've named it Morning Glow. Its got a very warm morning-ish glow feel to it and even has a soft-ish look as well (sorry for all the "ish" words). What I found really cool-ish about it (sorry, that's the last "ish" I promise) is that it looks it works great on different kinds of photos.

First, don't forget that I'll be teaching a full-day Lightroom seminar in Chicago on July 20th and New York City on July 22nd. You can sign up over at KelbyTrainingLive.com. I'd love to see ya there. OK, now on to the preset. I was experimenting with the Summer Haze preset I created a while back and came up with another one that looks similar but different enough to create a whole new preset. I've named it Morning Glow. Its got a very warm morning-ish glow feel to it and even has a soft-ish look as well (sorry for all the "ish" words). What I found really cool-ish about it (sorry, that's the last "ish" I promise) is that it looks it works great on different kinds of photos.

I know it's not technically summer yet but Memorial Day is here in the US and, ever since I was a kid, that signifies "summer is here" (and if you live in Florida like I do, the torrential rain we've had every day for the last few days should already have you in that summery mood). This was one of my favorite presets from last year. Its just a really cool effect to get that summery, warm, hazy feeling in a photo. The preset adjusts the white balance, Vibrance, Saturation, and Split Toning sliders. I even tossed in a bit of a Tone Curve adjustment on it in the Shadows since the other settings seemed to muddy the photo up a bit, and I thought it needed some more blacks to bring back the contrast. It works great on fun-styled outdoor portraits and even makes a pretty nifty wedding effect. Enjoy! Click here to see a sample of the preset.

As you can imagine, there's a few different ways to do black and whites (remember, they're NOT called grayscale photos) in Lightroom.

I'm heading up to Boston this week to teach at Photoshop World (and the first ever Lightroom Conference at Photoshop World) but I wanted to add a preset here that I've been updating. A while back, I released a Vintage New York styled preset. Well, I was working on another effect this week and I realized that it looked very similar to the one I just mentioned. However, after a couple of tweaks I liked this one better so I've updated it. You can keep both or delete the old one and just use this one. Either way, I think it's a cool effect. It's primarily geared toward portraits. One thing you'll notice if you look at the settings after you apply it, is that I bumped up the Orange and Yellows in the HSL panel to bring back some life to the skin. As I mentioned earlier, this is mainly geared towards portraits but give it a try on other types of photos as I've gotten some really fantastic results. • See the Before/After view of the presets here • Download the presets here. •...

It’s called Auto Advance and it makes sorting through your photos work a little bit more like you’d think it should. In a nutshell, the setting automatically moves you to the next photo in the Library module once you apply some sort of rating or flat to it. It’s easy to turn on and I think once you’ve used it for a while you’ll wonder how you ever did without it. Enjoy!

I got some inspiration for this preset while looking through a magazine this past weekend. I saw a Ralph Lauren/Polo ad and I noticed their photos have a very distinct look to them. As always, I made it my mission to recreate the effect and I think I got pretty darn close. As you’ll see, it’s got a hint of green to it with a slightly desaturated look. I tried it out on some actual polo sport photos but I also tried it on some wedding photos and it had a very neat look to it. It’s worth mentioning that it seems to work best on brighter photos, so darker sunset photos or photos taken indoors probably won’t look as good. But give it a try and let me know what you think.

What they were looking for is an easy way to strip the metadata (typically the EXIF data) from the photos that they send to a client or post on to the web. They simply didn’t want others to be able to see the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lens, etc… that were used for the photo.

I’m pretty excited about this week’s presets. I had an idea a while back about using the adjustment brush to create a focal point in certain parts of the photo (by darkening the rest of the photo). The vignetting controls are great for doing this but if your subject isn’t in the middle of the photo then it doesn’t work as well. So I figured I could use the adjustment brush to darken parts of the photo and save it as a preset. Wrong! I quickly found out you couldn’t save adjustment brush controls as a preset so I went back to the drawing board and came up with this idea instead. I’ve created 4 different presets that each use the Graduated Filter to do something similar. This week’s batch is for Landscapes only (top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right). However, I’m working on an update that I’ll get out next week for portraits as well. Enjoy ‘em and let me know what you think! Click here to see a sample... Hey there!

We even showed where you can get that information in Lightroom. But I figured not everyone shoots Nikon so a lot of people won’t even watch the show. So here’s the condensed 3 minute version of how GPS info relates to your photos in Lightroom.

It’s time for another round of presets. This week I was tinkering around with the Duotones that you can find in Photoshop (Image Mode Duotone). As is usually the case, I always try to recreate whatever I can in Lightroom and I think I’ve come pretty darn close here in volume 1. So we’ll kick the Duotones off with the yellow presets I found in the list. They’re actually called “Yellow bl 1″, “Yellow bl 2″ and so on but we’ll just called them Yellow 1, 2, 3 and 4. I hope you like ‘em. UPDATE: I realized that I did not include the Black and White conversion in the original presets (which is a big part of them). So if you downloaded these any time before 3:30 EST then go ahead and re-download them for the new ones (and delete the old ones). Thansk Click here to see a sample of the preset.

There’s a few components to this effect. First and foremost shooting a high key image (the exposure and lighting work done before hand) is really the main way to do this. But there’s still some things things that we can do in post-processing to help if the photo wasn’t taken that way. There’s also a degree of blur involved that we really couldn’t do in Lightroom 1 but with Lightroom 2 we have negative clarity and it makes things a bit easier. As you download the presets you’ll notice there’s 3 flavors ranging from high to higher to highest so you’ll have a few choices to pick the best from.

It’s an old fashioned faded kinda look and it comes complete with faded edges and everything. I’m actually really happy with it as I’ve always liked using my “Vintage New York” effect and this one adds a little more of that vintage look to a photo. Also, after you download the presets you’ll see there’s two versions. One for people and another for everything else. That doesn’t mean you can’t use the people one on other stuff and vice-versa, but I’ve found that you can get some weird effects if you use the “everything else” one on people so be careful. Enjoy!

See, if you’ve never tried to import a custom identity plate graphic into Lightroom then you’ve probably never had this problem. But if you have then you’re probably about ready to shoot somebody. Just about every time I try to use a custom graphic in the Print module as an Identity Plate it comes up jagged on the page. Notice I said “just about”. That’s because sometimes it doesn’t. Until now, there was no rhyme nor reason to it but, with some help, I think we’ve figured out a way to get around this issue so you can create some pretty cool print design right inside of Lightroom.

A while back I released an Auto Enhance preset and, to my surprise, a lot of folks out there are just as lazy as me and it turned out to be pretty popular Honestly, it’s not really laziness. It’s just that I found myself making the same adjustments over and over again and the Auto Tone settings in Lightroom coupled with some of the Vibrance, Clarity and Vignetting settings that I always use made it a perfect candidate for an auto preset to apply in the Import dialog. Well, I’ve gone and updated the preset to include 1) The new camera profiles and, 2) Better edge darkening the with the Post-Crop Vignette sliders. So here’s the deal. First, they’re only for Nikon and Canon. Next, the preset turns on the Auto Tone setting in Lightroom and it’s just like clicking on Auto at the top of the Develop module panels. However, it also includes some Clarity and Vibrance changes in addition to the edge darkening. That stuff stays the same for ALL ... Hi everyone.

However, it also includes some Clarity and Vibrance changes in addition to the edge darkening. That stuff stays the same for ALL of them. What does change is the camera profile that is applied, which is why there’s a bunch of Auto presets. They’re intended to be used as you’re importing your photos into Lightroom. If your particular shoot was a portrait session and you’re fond of the Nikon “Camera Portrait” profile then choose the “Auto Enhance - Portrait (Nikon)” preset. If you were on a landscape shoot then try the “Auto Enhance - Landscape (Nikon)” preset or even the vivid one. If you shot a portrait with a great landscape behind it, well, you’re outta luck Actually, it kind of relies on you at least knowing which profiles you’ve become fond of because you’ll need to decide which to apply on import. Remember, if you pick the wrong one you can always change it. And don’t forget, I’ve got a video from way back called “Applying Edits to Multiple Photos” that shows you how to change a bunch of photos all at once so it’s not that big of a deal to choose the wrong one to start. Thanks and I hope you like ‘em. •Click here to download Matt’s Auto Enhance Presets for Nikon Profiles •Click here to download Matt’s Auto Enhance Presets for Canon Profiles •Click here to see a video on how to install presets.

I shoot in Raw 100% of the time now but I’ll still have to deal with JPEGs because a) I have older files that I didn’t shoot in raw, b) I’ll have files from my wife’s point-n-shoot that are JPEGs, c) some one gives me a file to work on that isn’t raw. Well, one of the biggest challenges is getting the right color balance and Lightroom’s white balance preset list (Cloudy, Flash, Daylight, etc…) help out a lot. But they don’t work on JPEGs right? Wrong! They do. I’ll show ya how in this week’s video. Have a safe and happy new year everyone!

I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas and enjoyed the holidays - I know I did. Now that things have settled down, I wanted to share a preset that I created for a family member over the weekend. It’s based on a contact sheet but instead of a lot of photos across and down, I created one with just 2 across and 2 down. Then I added an identity plate right below in the white space and it turned out pretty darn cool. Now I personally used (and like best) the vertical version but I’ve also included a horizontal one too. Print presets work pretty much like other presets. The best thing to do is just go to your Template Browser in the Print module, right click on “User Templates” and choose Import. Then select the file that you’ve downloaded from here (don’t forget to Unzip it first). Enjoy! Click here to see a sample of the preset.

If you recall from a previous post, Lightroom 2.2 has included the new camera profiles by default. If you’re not sure what they are then make sure you watch this video. Now, if you went ahead and removed the old beta profiles then you’ll quickly find the presets I created for them back in the summer don’t work anymore. So I’ve updated them for both the Nikon and Canon profiles.
