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

by Gavin Seim: Silver Shadows 2, my new black and white toolkit for LR is finally here. This is a really exciting release for me. I’m passionate about black and white, and the refinement that has gone into Silver Shadows 2 has been years in the making.
SS2 has been expanded and revamped from the ground up. I think it will blow you away when you see the efficient high quality silver conversions you can do without leaving LR. I can’t tell you how proud of this set I am. So let me show you. Head over to the SS2 page and check out the brand new video, freebies and more, plus get the special introductory price if you get SS2 before Nov 30th. I may also talk about this new video later. It was quite a project… Gav

I’ve been refining a new effect for a gentle warm sunset feel. This result is something that may well find it’s way into my Color Fantasies and Lightflow collections in the future, but I thought it would make a great freebie for you readers today.
It was interesting making the same effect side by side in both LR and Aperture.I don’t plan to do that with everything, as both my Lightroom and Aperture preset collection have their own effects that suit the tools available in each. But it was a good challenge to use the varying tools of both applications for the same effect. While their not identical, the preset should run very close on a RAW file in Lightroom or in Aperture. Cross platform. Oh yea.
This effect is gentle. Well suited for pictorial or portrait work, where a warm gentle process is needed. It’s meant to be used like a summer breeze. Not sharp, but not dull. Not too hot, but enough to make you smile. I really like it and I hope you will too. Below is a quick example of what the preset does. You can download it via the link. Enjoy… Gavin Seim
