I’ve had several comments from people lately asking me how I have been processing some of my newest photos…. and since my ‘reply’ button is still broken I thought I would just put it all down in a journal….so here it is.
I mainly use Adobe Lightroom to process all of my work and then I tidy stuff up in Photoshop Elements 4.0
You can download a 30 day free trial of “The Lightroom” if you follow the above link – definately worth checking out if you haven’t already. It will process both RAW and JPEG files.
Last week I found out that there were presets available to download so I thought I’d give them ago. There are 3 main sites I have found which are really good.
They are:
- INSIDE LIGHTROOM
- Heather Green Photography (she lists lots of links) and
- Pro Photography Show who also list lots of great links.
Of course you still need to play with the images even after applying a preset…but that’s where the fun begins.
The presets I have used the most are:
- 2. Vintage I
- COL Dragon1
- COL Hamburg’s Funky Twist
- Dream
- Matt’s Lomo Effect
- EFF XProcess Dragon
They all came from those 3 websites listed above.
Hope this has been helpful.
Cheers to you all
Naomi.
BTW…I’ve just passed 50000 views…WooHoo…now if only I could sell something…

Hi Naomi very interesting to learn about how you do what you do…. very different for all of us indeed. I can’t even imagine using a preset option but then I still use film so its all apples and oranges really I guess. And your work looks great so if it works just go for it….. :)
