As promised I’m not leaving users in the dust or making you buy new presets just for LR4. I’m proud to announce that PW3.5 is here. Power Workflow 3 is our flagship product for LR. If you only buy one collection of presets ever, Power Workflow is probably the one you want. It has some of everything from batch processing, to black and white, to creative color blends and it just got better.

Fully revised, PW3 is now fully compatible with LR4. More than that, there’s been extra refinements to the collection and those apply to both the new LR4 version, as well as the LR1-3 version. Both sets are included in the download.

  • Updated for LR4.
  • Series Refinements.
  • Three New presets.

Did I mention this was free. If you own Power Workflow 3, you should already have your download. If you didn’t get it, or you have an old version of PW and need an upgrade discount, just email me, effects@seimstudios.com. Send me your purchase name or email and I’ll hook you up.

Don’t have PW3? You’re missing out. Check out the presets here. And just in case you missed it, Silver Shadows 2 black and white presets have also been updated for LR4 and the Color Fantasies update will be coming next.

I’m thankful for my customers and happy to be able to make Seim Effects even more versatile. I hope you enjoy… Gav

Mouse over for before/after effect of Lumen Modified.

Silver Shadows 2 is a complete black-and-white system for Lightroom users. We released it a few months ago it’s has received a resounding thumbs up in reviews and feedback across the web. That’s cool, but it gets better.

Today I’m proud to announce Silver Shadows 2.2. It’s a FREE update for existing v2 presets users. In fact, you should already have received an email with your download.

What’s inside. Silver Shadows 2.2?

2.2 features FULL compatibility with Lightroom 4. A separate set, revised for use with the LR4 2012 process and the new adjustment features. With that however, Silver Shadows 2 remains compatible with older versions, and includes a set for LR1-3 users. Both sets have all the Silver Shadows 2 presets effects.

New Effects & Refinements:

Silver Shadows 2.2 also includes three NEW presets including, Lumen Modified #1 and Light Modified #2 (Cp). Both are versatile creative effects to go with the more than 100 existing black and white presets in Silver Shadows 2. They give you rich tones and bold notes while maintaining dynamic range. Another new effect is Dynamic Dark Boost, a conversion meant for images that are a bit too dark. With this effect you can quickly bring up tone without altering exposure. It can also be used on lighter images for an ultra high key effect.

There’s lots of little refinements and updates throughout Silver Shadows 2. You can find a full list in the release notes of the info page that comes with the download. If you don’t yet own Silver Shadows 2, head over and check out the demo to see why it’s the only black-and-white toolkit you need. If you already have Silver Shadows 2, get your download now. This version completely replaces the previous. V1 users of Silver Shadows can also get a discounted upgrade to V2. If you did not receive your download or have press/support related questions, contact us, effects@seimstufios.com.

I’ve worked hard to make Power Workflow the set of presets that sets the gold standard for LR presets. PW3 has been out for almost nine months now and has been a home run so far. Well 3.2 just went out, free for you PW3 owners. This update includes some new presets, including a few cool ones dealing specifically with dynamic range. There’s also lots of little tweaks to make the collection more powerful than ever. You can find a list of the changes in the Tips & Info page of the download.

If you own PW3 you should already have an email with your new download. You can simply delete the old ones and install the new. If you didn’t receive them, shoot me an note (effects@seimstudios.com) and I’ll hook you up. And if you don’t own PW3, you’re missing out. Give them a try and if you don’t like them, I’ll give your money back. I can tell you that’s something that happens very rarely.

Best… Gav
