On February 17th we launched the three new Lightroom & ACR ( Camera RAW ) Presets Collections – Delicious Storyteller.

We put a serious dose of our effort and professional knowledge into these newly created presets collections. We also considered the most important current needs of photographers regarding post-processing which you asked for.

The three new Delicious Storyteller collections will work great every time there is an interesting story to tell with photography.

We grouped all these new presets into collections by the mood, and different nature of post-processing colors you like.

Here are the Delicious Storyteller presets: (more…)

How to “Enable Lens Profile Corrections” on all photos in Lightroom

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2016-02-02T17:11:04+00:002 February 2016|Articles|0 Comments

The automated lens vignetting and distortion corrections feature was firstly introduced in Lightroom 5. It is simply awesome and makes the lives of photographers one step easier.

However, did you ever try to create a preset which would automate the task of checking the “Enable Profile Corrections” checbox on each image, regardless of the lens used in particular photo?

If you tried, then you know it’s not possible to make it applicable to all the lenses. It’s a fact, that when you create a preset with Lens Corrections enabled, the preset stores the info about the lens profile you choose.

How about the larger photo sets where you have a few hundreds photos and want all of them to have profile corrections enabled?

There’s still a quite easy solution to this problem which we developed some time ago!

Lightroom 6 / CC Presets Compatibility

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2015-04-22T15:07:03+00:0022 April 2015|Product Updates|0 Comments

Adobe Lightroom 6 / CC Release

Yesterday Adobe released new version of Lightroom. This is Lightroom 6 as an perpetual license purchase, and Lightroom CC as a part of Photography CC subscription.

New Lightroom brings us some neat features, like Panorama Merge, HDR Merge, Facial Recognition, performance improvements using GPUs ( always welcome! ), Filter Brush, Improved Web Galleries, Advanced Video Slideshows, etc. ( full list of what’s new in Lightroom )

“Will my Lightroom 4/5 Presets Continue to Work?”

What interests us the most, when using presets, is that the develop engine stays the same as in Lightroom 4 and Lightroom 5. This means there’s no need to rewrite our develop presets. They work totally the same way like they do in Lightroom 4 and 5. You can use additional features given in Lightroom 5, 6 or CC, but our Lightroom presets affect only the sliders which are all the same in Lightroom 4/5/6/CC and they give the same effect in all these versions. The same applies to Delicious Recipes – our fast workflow for Lightroom 4/5/6/CC + NIK Color Efex Pro 4.

-30% discount

To celebrate the new Adobe’s release, we added -30% discount for all our products. The discount is valid through April, 27th, 2015 – enjoy!

Delicious Recipes ( Lightroom + Color Efex Pro Workflow ) – 1.1 Update

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2015-04-23T19:18:07+00:0030 April 2014|Color Efex Pro Recipes, Delicious Recipes, Discounts, Presets Show Off, Product Updates|0 Comments

Since the release of the Delicious Recipes ( our time-saving workflow for Lightroom and Color Efex Pro ) in September 2013, many of you used them with success. So far it contained the Color Efex Pro recipes which I personally use. Many of you liked the warm colors very much, but the workflow gains much more possibilities when you have a choice of other color variations within CEP recipes

To better cover your personal taste I created 14 new color recipes and 5 B&W recipes. The basic Lightroom preset for RAW developing and the original “Standard” recipe ( the one from the 1.0 version ) also gained some improvements, so don’t forget to update them!

Just look how beautiful colors we have now:

Circus Festival shot by M.Mentel – Color Efex Pro Recipes processing

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2014-10-23T09:50:44+00:0024 March 2014|Color Efex Pro Recipes, Delicious Recipes, Presets Show Off|0 Comments

Marcin Mentel recently shot the 14th International Circus Festival by Zalewski Circus. He had a glimpse at all the preparations and backstage before, during and after the actual performance. For sure Marcin has an exceptionally perceptive eye! He took so many great shots and beautifully captured the atmosphere of circus show.

Our Lightroom 4/5 + Color Efex Pro 4 workflow

Lightroom Presets + Color Efex Pro Recipes

Marcin could process the whole set quickly with so pleasing colors as he used our Delicious Recipes. It is a Lightroom + Color Efex Pro workflow solution which lets you process whole sets the easy and very fast way. It focuses on a cohesive processing, so if you like to switch styles between each photo, it definitely won’t match your needs. Cohesive processing lets a viewer get deeper into the action and concentrate on the story you have to tell.

Delicious Recipes Testimonial

(…) The aspects about Delicious Recipes post- processing I loved most:

Picture touch-up – New system divides the workflow into two stages (LR+CEP), which gives a fresh insight into the photo twice. This way, I have the chance to correct any possible previous mistakes that result from the fact that your eye gets used to the colors. Then, I can work on the best effect of the photograph.

Speed – The key thing – especially when you have to edit several thousand pictures a year, just like I do

The simplicity of developing – proper raw image developing according to the tips in the manual together with subsequent work with the set of Color Efex Pro effects allows me to bring out the details and improve tonal range of the picture. This way, I can get rich colors without spoiling their natural beauty at the same time. (…) [ Read a full testimonial on product page ]

Film Lightroom Presets used by J.Godoi

One Event = One Preset

Juliano Godoi usually uses one of our color presets and one bw preset within one photo set. This is exactly the same way I like to work. It gives nice consistency in whole set. Also the post-processing doesn’t distract a viewer from the plot. It is somewhat transparent and lets viewer enjoy your vision of the event. Keeping one preset within one event also helps to accent the mood that the preset gives for photos. This is also the reason why I like the presets to be more subtle and not so obtrusive. If you want edgy look for single shots, stronger presets might work well. For longer stories it is more natural and pleasant to view one event in subtle colors.

Film Lightroom Presets

Our film lightroom presets in Analog Story Collection are made for creating vintage yet natural look. They are subtle creamy and have a little grain ( adjustable ). Vintage accents are subtle here, to still look well when the years will pass. This could be crucial when you work as a wedding photographer.

Lightroom Presets Used

For color shots Juliano used Classic Analog from our Analog Story Presets Collection for Lightroom 4-5. Black&White shots are processed with B&W Deep Portrait from Black & White Pepper Presets Collection for Lightroom 4-5. These presets are also available in our bundles. ( By buying in bundles you can save up to 31% )
