Basic Catalog Settings for Photographers

Lightroom is ready to go right out of the box (or right out of the download), but I think there are some settings that should be tweaked for optimum performance.

NOTE: This applies to Lightroom 2.6 and it is designed by a portrait photographer for portrait photographers.

Black and White Presets solved

Posted by Eric Leszkowicz on Dec 30, 2008 in Blog, Lightroom, Presets | 0 comments

Many of you have no doubt tried to do black and white in Lightroom.  I have . . . and failed.  I have also succeeded.  In the past I have tried to make a preset to be the one and only supreme black and white preset to address every situation that could every exist and bring about world peace.  Not possible.  Sure I knew the rules of black and white photography, but I was hoping to avoid them.  You can’t fight physics and win.

Yet. There was this thought that it could be a streamlined process that could produce predictable results, but how could this be done?  No doubt the best way would be to do this with presets and that is what I was able to do.

Soon…..VERY soon….you will be able to purchase and download the presets right here on the website.

I am excited to show others how to save time and this series of presets I hope will save everyone a TON of time.

Loading Presets in Lightroom

Sometimes people as about presets in Lightroom.

Presets are the “actions” of the Lightroom world.  They don’t work exactly like actions, but they are very close.  As you get to know and love presets, you will want more.   One way is to create them and another way is to buy them.

If you buy presets, inevitably the question is “how do I load them?”  This quick video tutorial will show you how to load your presets that you have downloaded.  It is also handy if you have lightroom installed on more than one computer.
