lightroom 6 beta

Amazing, better, more super, more features – Pay now or all your Adobe software will cease to function… Oh wait, Adobe Cloud already does that!

It’s April 1st – And not a very epic one at that. But since Adobe cranks out new releases as fast as my three year old fills diapers, getting us to buy all over again. It’s believable enough to be true.

That’s what I got today, but if you’re looking for something that’s actually cool, there’s a whole lot on this site. Poke around.

When you’re done, go do something productive besides stupid April fools jokes. — Gav

best-of-free-presetsWe were making presets here before selling presets was even hip. No one makes them like we do because we don’t just make presets, we’re passionate about quality and that’s why all our effects are GUARANTEED. Knowing Lightroom inside out is a start, but understanding light and photographics is what really makes great tools.

From each of our Pro Collections like Power Workflow 4, we have Light Packs so you can try for yourself. I thought, “With all the free presets we give away, it would be nice to make a one stop list of our light packs”. So here they are. Our most recent preset sampler packs, designed for with LR4 and LR5 and sure to please. This list is not long, but you won’t find any junk here. Every one of these packs is quality from the ground up and will save you time. Please share and enjoy, Gav

Power Workflow 4, Light Pack – Download

PW4 is the most powerful presets you’ll find. It’s our signature set and we’ve made it since Lightroom 1. Every version has been more refined and now it’s so well honed that it just begs to save you time. In this great sampler pack we’ve included great selections from Power Workflow 4 that will get you started. You can also get the complete collection of more than 75 perfectly prepared presets here.

We’ve been making Apple Aperture presets here at Seim Effects since the beginning, but I realized we did not have a great video about using them. While installation is easy, it’s still faster to see it done for real. In this quick video we do just that, but we also go deeper and look at some tips and tricks for using and managing Aperture Presets. When you’re done head over and check out the LightrFlow and ColorFlow preset collections we’re using here.

Enjoy, Gav
