A Color Masters Toolkit: In the early days the science of color brought challenge and reward to those who mastered it’s craft. The techniques may have changed, but the subtleties of what make our eyes respond to color have not. Designed by photographic and Lightroom veteran Gavin Seim, Color Fantasies 2 is in a class of it’s own for creativity and color refinement.

It all started years ago with award winning photographer Gavin Seim’s Power Workflow presets, the bit of everything editing pack used by photographers from around the world. Next came Silver Shadows, and Color Fantasies. But Gavin wanted to take color further. So he went to work on a new collection of effects dedicated to harnessing color at deep levels so that whether you want a bold tone or a color shift you don’t even realize is there, CF2 would give you the tools you need to do it better.

What’s New in CF2: Everything,that’s what. CF2 has been rebuilt from the ground up for great color nuances and control, better workflow and better mixing capabilities between effects. Every effect is new or remastered in CF2 and the result is a color toolkit that every photographer can find their niche with.

Thoughts from Gavin Seim: “Color is a powerful thing with far more subtlety than we usually give it credit for. Color Fantasies 2 represents that color. I studied a lot for Color Fantasies. I Set aside the distractions and focused on the nuances of color and mood. As I planned version two I looked for something more. I sat down and looked deeper at the color. I looked at what top masters were using and and what’s been used in the past. I studied film, cinema and history. I looked for colors that can be bold, or go nearly unnoticed as they capture the eyes and lead the mind through a scene. What came from that is Color Fantasies II, and There’s nothing else like it” -  Gavin Seim.
