The Best of FREE Lightroom Presets:

We 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

How to Install, Better Manage & Save Aperture Presets – VIDEO

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.
