I only work in light room only for my personal shoots. That includes pictures of my family and few landscapes usually taken with Fuji E1 and Nikon D3s. My photographs were lot and editing them took lot of time to edit in photoshop. I wanted to find a way to save time. I began creating presets (preset alterations to lighting and coloring) to speed up my workflow and to be more efficient. My goal is to save others time so that they can balance their time with their families and their long term work goals.
You May ask when there are other 3rd Party Plugins from Nik Software, Topaz Adjust and Onone Perfect effect why use this? Well there are many who dont use these 3rd party plugins as they cannot afford to buy it or create one so I did the work for them.Taking about these presets, these work well with portraits and landscape. I would suggest you try different pictures for these effects as they will look different on each shots.
My recommendation though is to use a 3rd party filter but for those who cannot afford to get one, here are my first series in the free version. Please note that i have tested these presets only for Light room Version 4 and above. Let me know if it works in lower versions also. If you provide me the pictures that you applied these filter, i would gladly put them in the review section. Your reviews will help me develop more presets.
