Lightroom 4 Collections Update to 1.1

It’s been almost a year since we released our Lightroom 4 Collections.

For me it was a very productive year, working mainly with the weddings and on improving Delicious Presets for you.

I received a lot of positive feedback from you and it’s nice to hear our presets work great for you!

There were also a few constructive suggestions for how we can improve the Delicious Presets, so we put them all together with our concepts and made the 1.1 UPDATE to all Lightroom 4 Presets!

As I’ve done post-processing of all the weddings, I can now work at full blast to come out on improving and updating all our Lightroom 4 Presets Collections. As soon as the updates will be ready, they will be sent to all of you who bought the single collections or bundles!

I shot this session a month ago for the Zolline Jewellery. All the shots were taken with pure daylight and in bright interiors, so natural colors are what they fully deserve Our Delicious Colors will work great as fashion lightroom presets.

I processed all these photos with presets from the upcoming update for Delicious Colors for Lightroom 4. It will be very easy now to switch between each preset. I work also to refine our collections and group them better. The Delicious Colors Collection will be now even more focused on beautifully emphasizing natural colors.

Before / After: hold your mouse over an image to see the photo before applying the preset.

Lightroom Presets for Weddings in Dark Conditions

We all love great sunlight on the summer weddings – it is so easy then to enhance the emotions with nice backlights and warm sunset. It also demands less efforts in post-production. Many available presets work well with easy conditions, but when you shot the last wedding in February, a ceremony took place in a dark church with artificial light only and it was already dark outside when the party began, you know it won’t be so easy to obtain beautiful colors in Lightroom.

I processed all these photos with one of the Delicious Colors Presets for Lightroom 4 – Creamy Portrait. I just tuned the very few basic settings ( Exposure, Highlights, Whites, Shadows, Black ) for each photo – so easy to fit the preset!

Two B&W pictures was processed with BW Soft Portrait preset from the Delicious Black&White Pepper Collection for Lightroom 4

New feature: hold your mouse over an image to see the photo before applying the preset! (more…)

Lightroom Presets For Low Light And High ISO Situations

By Krzysztof Ziętarski|2014-10-23T03:22:38+00:0010 December 2012|Delicious Colors, Lightroom 4-5 Presets, Presets Show Off|0 Comments

Photography is all about light and with great light you can create astonishing photos. It is also not so hard to apply presets in Lightroom when photography was filled with awesome daylight. But how Delicious Presets handle low light situations?

In a wedding photographer work it is nice to have beautifully lit venues, but we often work in a very low-light situations requiring to go up with camera’s ISO. Thanks to the digital photography we have usable ISO 1600, ISO 3200 or even ISO 6400 and ISO 12800, so we are not obliged with using flash in our wedding documentary photography.

I chose 15 low-light photos from the wedding reception of Ola & Roman from the late September. After the first dance the couple asked me to take a session in the recording studio when Roman plays the drums with his colleagues. All the photos are ISO 1600, ISO 2000 and ISO 3200.

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