Color Fantasies Lightroom Presets

Remember back in December when I gave out the Christmas freebies pack. I talked about tweaking with color and finding new ways to approach it. Well, I said then there would be more to come and the more is now here.

Color Fantasies is my new collection of over 45 brand new effects that will do beautiful things to color that you’ve only dreamed about. I won’t blather on, but suffice to say I’m thrilled with how they turned out. Here’s a link to the info page. I’ll also be posting a free sampler pack soon… Gav

by Gavin Seim: I decided it was time for some fun. And I really did have fun with this skit. I say ENOUGH of those ho hum screen casts explaining things we need to know. It’s time to do something revolutionary with photos. Lets get UGLY.

Really though. Lets remember HDR is NOT a style. It’s about light and managing it well. And once your done with this, you can find my real HDR videos right here. Or check out the EXposed Workshop and really take charge of the light.

Amaze your friends. Download the free Flickr HDR presets 😉

Brush presets, develop presets, you name it. Here it is.

My brother Grant and his Wife Aimee has a some a few days ago. Sadly, due to a rare umbilical problem at birth he passed away.

In memory of Grant IV and to help my brother and his wife with medical expenses I’ve made a special collection. These are never before released Lightroom and Photoshop effects, as well other goodies including a new HDR training video. 100% of from this profits go to help out. It’s a good cause, and a great deal that will not stay this price. More details and video here.

I appreciate all the kind words people have been sending in. I’ve also set up a special address for condolences. For those who wish to send them they can be direct to grantseim4@gmail.com and I’ll forward them along.
