You’ll see there’s 4 presets in this download. I went through my photos and realized that most of my landscape photography falls into several categories (canyons, beaches, photos with lots of green in them, and photos with a lot of sky in them). So I created the settings for the presets to show off those different elements in the photo. Here’s a quick before/after of the canyon preset.
And of course, you’ll probably end up finding photos of a beach with lots of blue sky. In that case, experiment a little with whichever preset looks best 🙂
- Here’s the link to download ’em.
- And here’s a link to a video on how to install and organize Lightroom presets if you don’t know how.
Enjoy!
I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
Thanks again 🙂
Hi DLoaded your presets. thanks for sharing them.
Thank you Matt for sharing your expertise.
LOVE the presets but everytime I click on a link, it’s “broken” or missing…
Apparently I put stupid juice in my coffee instead of creamer this morning because I figured it out! Durrr…. Okay, so any chance you’ll post those “twilight presets” ;o)
two thumbs way up! 🙂
wonderful !!!
MK … you rock – thanks a ton 😀
Thanks Matt, love the Canyons preset http://500px.com/photo/11214047
Wow! Love it!
Great B&W conversion presets, love the pop they give. Just need to find a canyon to make full use of them now, not sure we have canyons in UK, let alone Monmouthshire!
Thank you for the presets. Your description of how the B&W class changed your thinking makes that the next class I watch.
Thanks for the presets!
I was very happy to watch the B&W presentation on Kelby Training, it was such an informative class. To see the pains everyone is taking to make the electronic darkroom mimic the old chemical one is great. I know it isn’t quite the same, but you know, it beats the heck outta just a flat transition. The new Silver Exx Pro 2 is probably a must have much like the Color Efx Pro 4 is.I surely do wish the papers/inks were available where I live though.
thanks for the presets… I tried to view the link on how to install them, but the video didn’t work
Thanks Matt, I enjoy your blog.
will these work in Lightroom 3, by chance?
I have presets in my list by the same name. Are they updated versions of what I might already have? Thanks so much…….love all your presets!!
Thanks very much. Your presets are great!Thanks for,all the free videos you put out there as well.
I like b and w with buildings especially old buildings. I was in Old Quebec City couple weekes ago got some amazing photos in black and white. I do like colour for landscapes photos as well.
thank You,
Thanks for the presets – but kind of strange knowing that you don’t really like B&W…. LOL
🙂
Yeah, I like color. I see in color, color moves me, and it just strikes me in a different way. Up until recently (and I’m still not hooked on b&w), Black and white just seems flat… lifeless… old. Ever since I was alive people have been shooting with color cameras and my first camera was color so it’s just something I find interesting in my photos. Plus, I’m a landscape guy. I love shooting landscapes and part of what I like is the clouds, the sky, and the “feeling” of early morning or late afternoon. You can’t get that feeling with B&W.
I love your presets. Thanks.
