Studio photo processing

I want to show one of the options for processing studio photography in Lightroom. Processing is very simple - contrast, shadows, orange in the minus. But it looks, in my opinion, quite interesting!

The photo is still waiting for the final retouching in Photoshop, so do not pay attention to the dirty wall and other little things. Download the preset and use it to your heart's content!

Pencil drawing

For a long time I wanted to make a preset for Lightroom that would allow me to imitate a pencil drawing. There is a huge amount of material on the Internet on how to process in the style of a pencil drawing in Photoshop. But I did not find a single article on how to process a photo in Lightroom in the style of a pencil drawing!

Photo processing in the open air

In order to get a beautiful photo of a model in the open air, you need to choose the right light. In this case, the shooting was carried out in the forest and the model was not located under the direct sun, but in the shade of trees and illuminated by diffused light. Which, in general, gave a good result.

Film beauty

Working with color, curves, increasing contrast and adding a grainy effect - this made it possible to achieve such photo processing. This lightroom preset will help you process your photos in the same way!

Brown retro

There are photos to which you can apply many different processing. This is exactly the case, and therefore it was decided to make the now popular brown toning. As you can see, it turned out very even nothing! With curve and slider Shadows lightened the shadows, and also, muted the color with Saturation. All other settings you can see for yourself in the preset.

Portrait of a veteran

To create such a dramatic portrait of a veteran, we had to increase the contrast as much as possible. This was done by working with curves - the steepest part of the curve is located in the highlight zone.

Tilt Shift effect

Let's get back to the photos with small models of real objects. This is due to an optical illusion. Such a depth of field can never be achieved when shooting from a distance with a conventional wide-angle lens! That's why it seems to us that the shooting was done at close range, and all objects are miniatures!

"Gold Skin"

This preset is the first step in processing a portrait shot. The resulting image still has a lot of work to do in Photoshop. But the basic things skinton, contrast and color correction Much easier and faster to do in Lightroom.

Film simulation

To imitate pictures taken on a film camera, you need to carry out individual processing for each picture. There is no universal recipe!

red light effect

I often see black and white photos with such a light effect. In Lightroom V5 this is very easy to do - with the help of the Radial Filter tool. You can choose absolutely any color. In this example, the contrast of the selected area is further increased to enhance the effect. You can enlarge, reduce and move this highlight at your discretion.

dramatic sky

To create this effect, when taking a photo, expose for the sky so it doesn't fall out. It doesn't matter if the rest of the image is darker than you'd like - it's fairly easy to lighten it up in post-processing. Apply this preset to the resulting frame and you will see a dramatic landscape similar to this one.

Juicy tint option

I bring to your attention another preset for toning pictures. After applying the preset, the photo becomes more contrast and warmer. These colors are achieved by applying curves. To get the final result, I reduced the exposure by half a tone, and you can adjust it for yourself.

retro imitation polaroid

Make your shots look like an old Polaroid! A very interesting effect, which is implemented by channel-by-channel work with curves (Curves) and color. In this preset, the black point is greatly raised, which is why the photo looks like it is tightened with a little haze.

Add black stripes to the top and bottom of the frame

With this preset, you can quickly add black stripes to the top and bottom of the frame. Many people use this effect. It gives the picture "cinema", a special charm. This effect is also called: porridge (emphasis on the last syllable) or blinds.

Wedding photography processing

A preset that will make wedding photography more warm and cheerful. The slope goes to yellows in the highlights and purples in the shadows (just a tiny bit). A small dark vignette is superimposed, which is almost invisible, but still adds a peculiar atmosphere to the frame. I increased the exposure by half a step, when you use this wedding preset, adjust it in your own way.

water world

To take pictures of the inhabitants of the deep sea, it is not necessary to go down under the water with scuba gear. Below is a shot of a typical small home aquarium. Since the camera did not set the correct white balance in the preset, it was corrected and an extraneous yellow tint was removed. It seems to me that with such processing, the picture turned out to be quite atmospheric.

Snowflake processing

A very simple preset that removes third-party shades and makes a photo with snow attractive, saturated and contrasting. Use on health.

Toning the winter landscape

I suggest downloading a lightroom preset that will transform your winter landscape and give it more color and expressiveness. The preset implements toning in beautiful blue-green hues and contrast enhancement. I recommend it to all lovers of winter landscape photography.

Low contrast portrait

A very popular effect at the moment! Something reminiscent of an old photo, evokes romantic associations. In the preset, the original colors of the photo are practically not affected, only the contrast is lowered and the highlights / shadows are adjusted.

soft colors

After applying this preset, your photo will have soft colors and low contrast. For portraits and studio portraits, this effect comes in very handy. You can also process wedding photos with this preset.

Retro processing

This retro lightroom preset will make your photo look vintage. Yellowish faded colors create an interesting atmosphere in the picture. I think this effect will appeal to many.

Converting a concert photo to black and white

Sometimes, when shooting in a club or at a concert, due to lighting and bright spotlights, a light occurs and the photo turns out to be, at first glance, spoiled. The best option would be to convert such a photo to black and white. This preset will help you in this matter in order to make a black and white photo from a concert (and not only) photo.

Preset for processing photos from a rock concert

With the help of this preset, photos from rock concerts are processed. It seems to me that these colors are just right for such an event. Download and enjoy!

Vanilla photo processing

And today we will paint the cat in purple vanilla shades :) I think the cat will not be offended, but rather be pleasantly surprised how much more beautiful the photo has become after applying this preset. I recommend to all lovers of cats and vanilla flowers to download this preset immediately!

Preset for processing images with flowers

In order for the processing of colors in Lightroom not to take a lot of time, so that your photos of flowers turn out bright and beautiful, you can use this preset. Saturation is increased very carefully, so that the colors are within the color space. The tone is more inclined towards warm shades.

Wedding photography is one of the areas that benefits the most from presets. If you're expecting to take hundreds of photos of the bride and groom, then you want them to look like they've all been processed with the same care and attention. You can do it manually, but with presets you can do it faster and often more consistently.

Building your own collection of presets that work in different configurations takes time, so if you're just getting started, downloading multiple preset packs from Envato Market is the perfect way to speed up the process.

Remember that all these presets are the basis for you. Don't believe any of the hype about one-click styles. You need to set everything up for them to work with your images.

With that said, let's take a look at twenty-five amazing Lightroom preset packs for wedding photographers available on Envato Market.

Original Image

We will test the presets below, but before we start, we present you the original image. It's properly exposed and suitable for action use: not too high-contrast, and has good shadow and highlight detail.

The original image I'm using. Image title: Wedding. PhotoDune/EpicStockMedia.

Preset used: Pro_Wedding_6.

Package 12 Professional Wedding Presets offers excellent value for money. For just six dollars, you get twelve presets to use in your workflow. Most presets saturate the tones in your images, making them warmer, so these presets work best on images that are a little dull to begin with; great if you're in a rainy UK, and if you're shooting Caribbean weddings, the tones will change too much.

50 Premium Wedding Lightroom Presets ($19)

Preset Used: B&W Dior.

If you are going to buy one package of wedding presets, then the package 50 Premium Wedding Lightroom Presets- one of your best bets. Despite the many different options in one package, it really creates a classic wedding style. For example, the excellent sepia preset above is something you can use over and over again.

50 Premium Matte Lightroom Presets ($19)

Preset Used: Matte Angel.

Like the previous package, Package 50 Premium Matte Lightroom Presets- This is a great buy. From the same creator, you can choose from 50 more presets. This time they all create a faded, matte look. Although they are not as versatile as the previous presets, if you want to create a vintage style, then they are perfect.

PRO 300 plus Adobe Lightroom Professional Presets ($25)

Preset Used: Monochrome B&W Trani.

Package PRO 300 plus Professional Adobe Lightroom Presets Designed not only for wedding photographers, but for all photographers. Instead of being a collection of 300 different styles, this perset pack contains building blocks that you can put together to create your own. The package includes various presets that boost exposure, de-saturate and de-hue an image. You combine them to get the desired effect.

25 Professional Wedding Presets ($14)

Preset used: 01_25 Pro Wedding Preset.

Pack of 25 Professional Wedding Presets is one of the most interesting packages on this list. None of the presets in the pack are super-traditional bridal style - that's what makes them work. If you want to give your clients something a little different, these might be the presets to use.

Cinematic Style Lightroom Presets Volume One ($7), Volume Two ($22), Volume Three ($25) and Volume Four ($8)

Preset used: 05_Cinematic Film Look . Preset Used: 24_Cinematic Film Look Lightroom Presets VOL.2. Preset Used: 05_Cinematic Film Look Lightroom Presets VOL.3. Preset Used: 10_Cinematic Film Look Lightroom Presets VOL.4.

Everyone loves Hollywood romantic comedies, so what's better than having a few wedding photos that look like you're in one of those romantic scenes? Four cinematic style preset packs are perfect for this.

The first pack contains 15 presets, the second pack contains 30 presets, the third pack contains 35 presets, and the fourth pack contains 15 presets, for a total of 95 different cinematic styles.

Of the 95 styles, only a few are suitable for a wedding. Many of them are too removed from the wedding theme; because you're filming a wedding, not a war film. However, even the ones you can use are great.

9 Professional Wedding Presets Volume One ($5), Volume Two ($7), Volume Three ($7), Volume Four ($7), Volume Five ($4) and Volume Six ($7)

Preset in use: 1. Preset in use: 9. Preset in use: 2. Preset in use: 04. Preset in use: 5. Preset in use: 06.

54 presets in six volumes per pack Pro Presta Presets look great. You get dozens of styles to apply to your images. Even better, because each pack is separate and affordable, I recommend you buy them one at a time. This way you can familiarize yourself with the presets in each pack before moving on to the next one.

The only problem with packages Pro Wedding Presets are the names of the presets. Each preset is a number between 1 and 9. That's it. When you import them, you must be careful not to overwrite your previous presets. If you use them, then you must group them by type and rename them.

Portrait / Model Presets 5 Lightroom ($35)

Preset used: Portrait/Model Preset 40.

Because the Portrait / Model Presets 5 Lightroom designed mainly for photographers, they are really suitable for wedding photographers. Portraits are superimposed on a huge part of wedding photos.

A pack of 50 presets includes those perfect for close-up shots of a couple in love and their guests.

14 Lightroom Wedding Presets ($6)

Preset used: Wedding 9.

Pack of 14 Wedding Lightroom Presets represents one of the most well-reviewed packages. In addition to presets for the bride and groom, the package also includes presets for creating standard photo shots: close-ups of rings and flowers, balloons floating in the sky, and more. A wedding may focus on the couple in love, but there's more to it than filming it, and this package proves it.

10 Professional Wedding Presets ($7)

Preset used: Wedding 2.

10 Professional Wedding Presets is another great package. There's nothing flashy about it, it's just 10 easy to use high quality presets. If you want to try creating some new styles without spending too much money, then this is a good choice.

19 High Quality Professional Wedding Presets ($9)

Preset used: 01.

When I first saw the package 19 Pro HQ Wedding Presets then I was stunned. 19 is a really strange number of presets, but then I realized that this is a good sign. The creators created 19 great wedding presets and instead of rounding that number down with bad presets, they stopped there and they're not proud to have made it to a round number. This pack is not 20 presets, but 19, and it's all the best.

Wedding Photo Presets ($6)

Preset used: Preset 3.

Package Wedding Photo Presets contains 10 presets, all of which are mainly focused on improving the skin tones of the happy couple and their guests. For photographs of people, these presets are great. Be careful what the subjects are wearing as some of these presets cause a lot of color shift.

Wedding Presets 5 Lightroom ($7)

Preset used: Wedding 8.

Wedding Presets 5 Lightroom- decent mix of 10 presets. The package has presets that are suitable for almost any image. If you're looking to add another style to your portfolio, then you'll find it here that you'll love.

15 Professional Wedding Presets ($8)

Used Preset: Wedding_14.

Package 16 Professional Wedding Presets perfect for processing any wedding photos you shoot in the woods. Most of these presets really enhance the vegetation in your images. Don't use it on beach shots!

12 Professional Wedding Presets ($6)

Used Preset: Wedding_1.

Package 12 Professional Wedding Presets another standard collection. If you just want to try out a few new styles then this is a great package to buy; If you are looking for a complete package of wedding presets, then this may not be it.

Warm Wedding Presets ($3)

Sometimes you only need one good preset. If you're shooting a wedding on a gray, overcast day, then this might be the preset. Warm Wedding Preset.

One important thing to remember about presets is that they don't work with every image. For example, despite the fact that the preset Warm Wedding Preset works great, the result of using this preset on my original image is nothing special. Make sure you are using the correct presets for your images.

50 Premium Film Emulation Lightroom Presets ($19)

Preset used: BeArt Film Collection (40).

Only in the last few years have wedding photographers begun using digital cameras; for decades they have used photographic film. Most of the wedding albums that people grew up with were shot using classic photo film. If the bride wants her wedding photos to resemble her mother's wedding, then you need to recreate the film effect during processing.

Package 50 Premium Film Emulation Lightroom Presets this is a great way to process photos; There are dozens of great tape emulations in the package.

Conclusion

With hundreds of presets available on Envato Market, you don't have to worry about creating your own - at least not initially. For aspiring wedding photographers, this is a great way to develop a collection of styles to use until they pick up their own. They will never be as personal as the presets you create yourself, but they are much faster to acquire.

I just showed you some of the preset packs that I liked on Envato Market. There are many more options to choose from here.

"Such action collections from professional photographers in the West cost from two hundred dollars, because they really save a lot of time and effort. Here you will find out how to get them for a quarter of their real price!"

Greetings, colleague!

My name is Evgeny Kartashov. I am a professional photographer from St. Petersburg.

Here I would like to talk about a more important step in working with this program - this is the automation of many operations in photo processing through pre-prepared presets.

What are presets?

A preset is a saved set of settings, such as white balance, exposure, curves and any other that you can apply to a photo with one click and instantly get the result.

If you see, for example, that the photo turned out to be underexposed, then you simply select the exposure boost preset and apply it to the photo. Next, let's say you notice that there is a lot of noise in the photo. Choose a noise reduction preset - and in one click you reduce the noise, and so on with all other parameters. With presets, the process of processing photos is accelerated at times.

Each photographer who has been working in Lightroom for a long time accumulates his own collection of presets, which he constantly uses in his work. I have this collection as well.

With this collection, processing most of the photos takes me no more than two minutes.

Wedding photography from a photographer from Nizhny Novgorod Vlad Barinova. Here, tone correction and color stylization were performed using presets.

My collection is designed for the fastest photo processing and includes 92 presets, categorized for ease of use.

Due to numerous requests from clients of my course to sell my finished collection, I decided to turn it into a separate information product available for order.

And here is the result of my work:

New collection of presets:

92 LIGHTROOM PRESETS

from Evgeny Kartashov

All presets are divided into 11 directories for easy installation. The name of each folder corresponds to its functional purpose during processing. For example, in the 01_EXPOSURE folder there are presets for adjusting the corresponding parameter, that is, the exposure.

Translated into Russian, the names of the categories will be as follows:

00. Miscellaneous
01. Exposure
02. Toning
03. Light
04. Shadows
05. Contrast
06. Details
07. Vignetting
08. Saturation
09. Noise reduction
10. Sharpness and grain

Each category of presets affects strictly defined parameters without affecting the others. This allows you to sequentially move from one group of presets to another, quickly process any image, bringing them to the desired form.

Processed 100% in Lightroom. Processing time: ~ 1 minute.

An example of processing a landscape photo using a set of presets. Photo with high contrast between foreground and background. Here, a little manual editing of the photo was applied after applying the presets.

But presets aren't everything...

Presets by themselves may not give you anything if you do not know how to use them correctly, so I have prepared eight video tutorials for you.

The lessons show the process of installing presets, their functional purpose, as well as working with presets, is discussed in detail on several real examples.

Lesson 1. Installing presets 2:28

In this tutorial, you will learn how to properly install my collection of presets in Lightroom. The process is covered for both Windows-based computers and OS X (Mac OS).

Lesson 2. Assigning preset categories 5:18

In this tutorial, you will learn how presets are organized in a set and the principles by which you need to process photos using these presets. This lesson will be the foundation for further practical work with presets.

Lesson 3. An example of processing using presets 8:12

Now consider practical use preset data. I specially selected photos of different genres so that you can see the versatility of my system. The fact is that the difference between my organization of presets is that we do not get the result with one preset, but consistently approach the desired result, applying preset after preset.

Lesson 4. An example of processing using presets 7:40

Here you will learn how to work with presets to affect light and dark tones in a photo. Here you will see how presets work for quick creation vignettes, to change saturation and reduce noise. We will also work with the sharpening preset.

Processed 100% in Lightroom. Processing time: ~ 1 minute.

The photo was taken at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Moskovsky CDC, St. Petersburg. Difficult lighting and the high pace of shooting prevented perfect exposure and white balance. White balance corrected manually, tonal range correction, noise reduction and sharpening performed using presets.

Lesson 5. Processing the landscape 10:48

Not all photographers shoot portraits, many do not shoot them at all, but prefer to shoot, for example, landscapes. In this tutorial, you'll see how landscape photography is processed using presets. Here we deviate from general methodology, which you need to know and understand when to use it.

Lesson 6. Handling complex shots 7:56

Sometimes you have to save images taken in very adverse conditions. For example, pictures taken in low light conditions or under bright energy saving lamps that spoil the color of the skin. In this video, I will show you how to process such pictures with presets.

Lesson 7. Processing wedding photos 7:42

Lightroom is the wedding photographer's favorite software. Since there are a lot of photos from the wedding, and each of them needs to be processed at least minimally, Lightroom will come in handy here. In this tutorial, I will show you the basics of processing wedding photos with my presets.

Processed 100% in Lightroom. Processing time: ~ 1 minute.

Another wedding photo from Vlad Barinov. It also performed tone correction and color styling using presets.

Lesson 8. Process Switching Presets 9:47

In this tutorial, I will tell you about presets for switching processes. There are three photo processes in Lightroom 4 - 2012, 2010 and 2003. It would seem that there is a new version of the process, why do developers leave the old versions of the processes? You will learn about this in the lesson and understand how you can use processes to speed up your work.

Among other things, you will learn how to optimize the work of the Lightroom and Photoshop bundle to get even more impressive results.

All this is waiting for you in my collection:
