PhotoPresets for Photoshop Lightroom by Jack Davis

Many photographers are experiencing the power and flexibility of the recently released Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a breakthrough image management and processing tool designed for photographers. To expand the creative possibilities OnOneSoftware are pleased to offer PhotoPresets with One-Click Wow! a dynamite collection of development presets created by renowned Photoshop educator, author and photographer Jack Davis. And the best part is the price, free.

Designed to work the way you work, the PhotoPresets with One-Click WOW! tackle only one development parameter allowing you to optimize your image at each step to create the look you really want without sacrificing any quality. Rather than bloated presets that control all the variables at once and make adjustments that you may not like and you have to hunt down to fix. You start with adjusting your images color and tone and then can add effects like black and white conversions, tinting, split-toning and vignetting. With XX presets in X categories the number of combinations is astounding. Here are some examples of what you can do with PhotoPresets with One-Click WOW!

System Requirements

Windows

• Windows XP with SP2 or later
• 1 GHz processor or faster

Sneakered while heading up to the third level of a huge mall – fake tilt shift opportunities awaited. They await still, but at least I have the RAW material *ha!* Also? The title has little to do with this shot, I just liked the quote. Dunno why.

I am in the process of creating this new blog in an effort to help more aspiring photographers to develop their skills.

My other blog is over at www.dougchinnery.blogspot.com and you will find loads of useful articles, hints and tips there.

Additionally you may like to visit my website at www.dougchinnery.co.uk and my Flickr stream at www.flickr.com/photos/dougchinnery

On the ‘Workshops’ page you will find details of the upcoming workshops I have announced. More are being added all the time so please come back regularly, or email me and I will email you advance notification of new workshops so you can book before places run out, as I keep classes very small I like all students to have lots of individual attention and help.
