Hi guys and gals!

I'm super excited to let you all know that today, after 2 months of tweaking and testing, I've finally released my Presets package for Lightroom!

I invite you all to download and try it out, and I hope that it'll save you plenty of time during your post processing journey.

In this image I used the Shadow Dancer Lightroom Preset to create the colours that you see there. I couldn't think of a more suitable image to formally release with this one other than a nifty hot air balloon floating into the sky.

Anyway let us know how you go with the use of those presets and as always your valuable feedback is important to me.

Peace to you all, stay hip and stay awesome!

Here's a photo edited using a combination of my Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions. I think I may have gone overboard post processing this one but here's a quick run down of how it was made.

I imported this photo into Lightroom and applied the Cherry Sunset Sensation preset . This changed up the orangey tones of the sunset to more of a cherry red color and made adjustments to the lighting of the photo. I also manually reduced the clarity to give this photo a softer feel and used split toning to add a slight bluish cast to the shadows.

I then brought the photo into Photoshop and selectively 'dodge and burned' (lighten + darkened) areas of the photo. Many people will do this manually however with landscape photos it may be difficult darkening tree branches, jagged rocks etc. As such I used a technique called 'luminosity masking' (supported in my Photoshop Actions) to automatically select out the darker and lighter parts of the photo so that I could just paint over the mask with my desired light/dark brush affecting only these areas.

And that's it! I know it may sound super confusing or overwhelming but in my future photos I promise I'll go more into these techniques and you'll get the hang of it in no time! :)

As always this photo is free for you to download and play around with as per its CC licence.

Thanks everyone for your support!

"Hala kahiki" is the Hawaiian word for pineapple. When Hawaiians first saw the pineapple, they thought it resembled the Hawaiian Hala, so they named it "hala kahiki," meaning "foreign Hala".
