Coming Soon. LightFlow. The Ultimate Aperture Presets.

This has been a long time in coming. With Apple’s Aperture finally getting presets in v3, Aperture users can now use develop presets and harness that power in their workflow. LightFlow has been in the works for awhile, but it’s nearly ready to release.

I’ve been making Lightroom presets for years and that knowledge crosses over. But it’s still different software and all new presets have to be designed. While I’m eager to release a defining collection of Aperture presets, I did not want to rush. I started by making a freebie pack called Light Study, to test the waters and see what Aperture users like. The feedback was positive and I went to work developing a complete set.

LightFlow is a collection of Aperture presets for every photographic situation. Essentially this set is to Aperture what Power Workflow has been to Lightroom.

It will feature more than 40 presets for batch corrections, subtle tweaks, silver conversions and color tones. It’s going to start as a simple well organized set that gives Aperture users quick control over a broad variety of refinements and processes that they can use as applied, or tweak for any specific need.

LightFlow is scheduled for release in Feb-Mar 2011. You can subscribe to the SE newsletter on the right to be updated when it launches, or watch the FB page.

About the Author

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
