Power Workflow 3.5 Sampler. Free Presets for Lightroom 1-4

NOT, these are very old versions of my presets. See the latest Power Workflow here. And download some of my free presets on the Filmist and Natural HDR page

It’s Gavin here and Power Workflow 3, my flagship LR set that includes a bit of everything, just got updated to version 3.5. It has new refinements and full Lightroom 4 compatibility.

So I always post freebies from each set I make, to share and to convince you just how good they really are. With the release of v3.5 I wanted to post this free presets pack, that includes updated legacy presets as well as the new LR4 versions.

Below you can download 8 presets from Power Workfow 3, including Super Hero, Portrait Power, Simple Polarizer and more. Download and enjoy. If you like what you see, the full collection has more than 75 presets guaranteed to please. Enjoy… Gav

FREE Presets from Silver Shadows 2 – Updated for LR 1-4.

NOW UPDATED for LR1-4 | Silver Shadows 2 came out in Nov 2011 and has been a huge success. It represents years of LR refinement since version one. It may blow you away when you see the efficient high quality silver conversions possible without ever leaving LR.

With the release of LR4 came some changes that made old presets not work so well. Users of my current presets collections are getting free updates for LR4 and the first of those was for Silver Shadows 2. You should have already received it if you own them.

I always make up a free sampler pack and I wanted to release an updated one that reflects the changes that came in Silver Shadows 2, for those of you that don’t own the full pack. So below is a free sampler kit that includes 7 presets. For both Lightroom 1-3 and Lightroom4 versions.

You can download below, no strings. When you realize how powerful they are, scope out the full collection. It has over a hundred unique effects, refined and organized into the ultimate black and white toolkit. Either way, head over to the product page for the video of SS2 presets in action while you download the freebies.

Enjoy… Gavin Seim

Free Wedding, Portrait, Commercial, Contract Samples: UPDATED

Updated 08/2012. by Gavin Seim: People are often looking for a starting point to build their photography contracts. Sometimes photographers take the I’m not sharing stance. I however do not and rather than manually emailing them each time people ask, I decided to share them here. I’ve included a folder with  both PDF and DOC formats. You can start here, insert your own name and alter the text to suit your needs.

Disclaimer. I am NOT a lawyer: These are contracts I have used and I am making available free of charge. They are in no way guaranteed. I’ve written them in plain English, while still trying to cover my bases. I have not had them reviewed by a lawyer, so if you feel the need to have them checked, you’ll have to handle that on your own. OK disclaimer finished.

On a side note, if you are a lawyer and would like to help review the legal side of these contracts so we can post more official versions please contact me. Also if you have links to your own contracts (available for free) post them up so people can look at more ideas.

Enjoy… Gav

UPDATE 08.2012. Version 1.5.

Now includes…

  • Sample Wedding Contract – Updated
  • Sample Portrait Contract – Updated
  • Sample Commercial Contract – New
  • Sample Second Shooter Contract – New
