Free Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw Presets anyone? Read on to learn how you can get some Exclusive Presets designed just for MCP readers.
I receive emails at least 2-3 times a day asking if MCP Actions will be coming out with Lightroom and ACR Presets. And while I love to make customers happy, I have no intention of making Presets immediately. Adobe Camera Raw & Lightroom are a small part of my workflow currently. I use Lightroom to organize my photos and do basic exposure and white balance correction on my RAW files.
But for the most part, I end my LR editing there and head into Photoshop, where I have more control with adjustment layers and layer masks.
The good news is LR and ACR works with sliders. So they are relatively easy to use. If you find a setting you like, you can quickly and easily make a preset for it. In my opinion, this is significantly easier than making Photoshop actions. I sometimes make a preset to apply it to a whole group with similar lighting, but I usually just sync after making a change and apply that way.
If you prefer not make your own presets, you can always find Presets on the internet, some free and others for purchase. I find many still require tweaking, but occasionally you may find one that works perfect with one click.
