Presets
This page hold information about free and commercial Presets that I’ve created for Lightroom. Right now, I’ve only LR grad presets for sale (which has it’s own page), so the stuff on the page is free!
LRB Dragan
A set of free Grunge type presets for Lightroom. These were made available on Inside Lightroom, but are being let out to the wider world. These mix a series of extreme settings to give a very post processed look to your images. These are quite old in design and make use of more extreme settings that effect most of the develop module. Some of the presets will interact and give different effects. To see each effect, hover over the preset and look at the Navigator window.
Smoke Presets
I was messing around the other day doing the good old internet cliche of taking off camera flash shots of smoke. In true Chromasia fashion, I hand created some Lightroom Point Curves and put them in as presets for you wonderful folks. These 3 variations make the shadows into highlights, force the midtones down and retain the normal highlights.
To handle downloads on this I’ve set it up as a donationware product on e-Junkie. If you feel these are useful, feel free to buy me a coffee via donation!If not, don’t. No obligation. For free downloads, e-Junkie will ask for name and email, this is so you can get the download link emailed to you.
Anyhow to install these presets, open Lightroom Preferences (in Lightroom on Mac, Edit on PC), Click the Presets Tab. Click on the Show Lightroom Presets folder. Open the Develop Presets folder and unzip the smoke.zip file into this folder. Restart Lightroom. In the Presets panel of Develop, there should now be a folder called Smoke Presets. Click on the preset to apply it, or hover over it to see a preview in the navigator.
Enjoy!
Lightroom Timelapse
A while ago I published a Lightroom Preset and Template set to create timelapses on Lightroom News. I also put a video on YouTube about it:
I’m including the updated version of the preset and template here for easy download. To install these 2 files, first open Lightroom Preferences (Lightroom menu on Mac, Edit menu on PC). Click the Presets tab, then click ‘Show Lightroom Presets folder.
The Slideshow Preset (SS 24fps Timelapse.lrtemplate) goes in the User Templates folder in Slideshow Templates, while the video preset (720.lrtemplate) goes into the User Presets inside the VIdeo Presets folders. Now the Video Presets folder may not be there, so you may need to create it, and a User Presets folder within it. Once these are in place, restart Lightroom.
To use, put your image sequence into a Collection and open it in Slideshow. Next select the ‘24fps Timelapse’ Template. Note that the ‘Slides’ duration appears to say 0.0s. Ignore this. The setting is below 0.05, so Lightroom is rounding down the visible figure. Don’t change it either! Next click on the Export Video button at the bottom of the Left panel. From the Preset list, choose ‘720P Timelapse’. It should be top of the list. Name your file and click Export. Congrats, you now have a video timelapse created in Lightroom.
