Golf ( Noppasin Kanokkornkomol ) has recently bought our Delicious Lightroom 4 Presets Complete Collection Bundle. He asked me to show some processing on one of his photos in RAW format The photo he gave me was shot with Canon 5d mark II.

The photo itself is very nice, I just cropped it a little on top and bottom to help the composition. I used a few presets from Delicious Colors and three presets from B&W Pepper collection. With each preset I adjusted only the basic settings – Exposure, Highlights, Whites, Shadows, Blacks and Vibrance.

Golf was so kind to let me share the effects of processing with you (more…)

Right now we have two different collections for RAW files in Lightroom 4-5: the gentle Analog Story Collection and more emphatic Distinct Analog Collection. If you are very expressive photographer and like to show your creativity also through post-processing, if you see the world in very vintage colors, then Distinct Analog collection is just for you.

Here I prepared a set of 28 photos from the beatiful wedding of Iza & Sylvain which took place at Gniew castle, Poland.

I processed all these photos with one of the Delicious Distinct Analog – Vintage Lightroom Presets for Lightroom 4-5 – Old World. I just tuned the very few basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset.

Two photos were processed in Black&White using our Black & White Pepper Lightroom 4-5 RAW Preset – Shiny Star. (more…)

Iza & Sylvain – Engagement Session Lightroom 4 Presets

I like warm colors very much, especially in the soft light, which is great for portrait sessions! Shooting a whole session in the shadow makes it easy to obtain soft light for portraits and capture the scenes full of colors. The subtle, colorful edits came from one of our collections.

I processed all these photos with one of the Delicious Colors Presets for Lightroom 4-5 – Landscape Dreamer. I just tuned the very few basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset. (more…)

Strobist Engagement Shoot with Blue Vintage Lightroom 4 Preset

On the wedding and engagement shoots I often use off-camera flash techniques to add more drama and beauty to my pictures. Even the one tiny flash can do great work when combined with cloud-crowded sky. It is quite easy to overpower the ambient light when the whole sky is filled with clouds and we shoot in the evening

I processed all these photos with one of the Analog Story Presets for Lightroom 4 – Blue Vintage. I just tuned the very few basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset.

Iga & Rafał – Black&White Wedding Photojournalism – Lightroom Presets ( B&W Pepper for LR 4 )

Probably every modern photographer loves great Black&White photography. The same goes for me, however I like the delicious colors even more, so I use Black&White processing only in exceptional cases. I always wanted my BW photos to look the best they can and I looked for the best BW processing for a long, long time.

On the beginning I went through the basic LR processing, but it doesn’t quite satisfied me. Then I switched to Silver Effex, and found the results excellent! But the workflow for plugins in Lightroom is not integrated in LR itself enough. Then I went for the CaptureNX which is great for colors and good enough for BW, but when working on Delicious Presets I used all the LR power, I found it the greatest tool for Black&Whites!

I processed all these photos with one of the Black & White Pepper Presets for Lightroom 4 – Smooth Shadow. I just tuned the basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites, Shadows, Blacks ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset.

Wedding Session With Evening Light – Creamy Lightroom Presets

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2014-10-22T15:33:56+00:0011 July 2012|Distinct Analog, Lightroom 4-5 Presets, Presets Show Off|0 Comments

I love to shoot wedding sessions in the evening, when the sun is low enough to add nice warm color and mood. To emphasize the softness and warmth you can add one of the creamy lightroom presets. The pastel colors works great with such a light.

I processed all these photos with one of the Distinct Analog Presets for Lightroom 4-5 – Creamy Love. I just tuned the exposure for each photo – so easy to fit the preset. Enjoy and feel free to leave your comments (more…)

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2014-10-23T01:46:23+00:005 July 2012|Delicious Colors, Lightroom 4-5 Presets, Presets Show Off|0 Comments

Shot this session last Saturday. Monika is going to marry Lukasz on 7.07 I like to use uniform colors for whole session. It was warm this evening and the sun went low enough to give us the great natural light. I also used a quick strobist setup ( SB-600 in manual mode ) just for a few portraits on the end of the session.

All photos look great to me with one of the Delicious Colors Presets for Lightroom 4-5 – Bright Portrait. I just tuned the preset for each photo and here they are – 14 photos from the session. Enjoy and feel free to leave your comments (more…)
