Your Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets are excellent, much deeper, and more involved than others I have seen

Charles Kinghorn

Spectacular...

Just downloaded... the presets are spectacular... thank you!

Sidney Clark

Gavin, your black and white presets are amazing! I just edited a few hundred images using them and I love the rich, bold balance it gives to my images. With your presets my images are now taken to a new level that is bound to get the attention of new clients!

Michael Anderson

Best 50 bucks I have spent in a while...

For the critics here, have you ever tried these presets, if you have not then maybe you should before you comment! Best 50 bucks I have spent in a while, but maybe I'm a dummy.

Ian Kydd

An integral part of my daily workflow....

Been using your presets and actions pretty much from the start and have become an integral part of my daily workflow.

I really love all of your black-and-white tools, they're brilliantly conceived and executed. I've tried everything on the market.

Hi Gav Just wanted to say the new updates are amazing. Love the HDR boost and curves.

Gary Davis

Seim put a lot of thought into these presets

It's clear Seim put a lot of thought into these presets.

Professional Photographer Magazine - Publisher

excellent and will save a great deal of time.

Many thanks for the presets, they are excellent and will save a great deal of time. I've used several others but most need so much tinkering I might as well start from scratch

Gary Mailer

Gavin, SS 2 is fantastic.

Paul Donihue

I absolutely love your presets

I absolutely love your presets. I'm an enthusiast/hobbyist and use Capture One (as I'm a fuji shooter). I'm tired of spending hours with plug-ins like the Nik collection, etc, and your tools have helped me avoid that 95% of the time and stay within C1.

Matt Barry

I am very pleased so far...

Bought it today and gave it a try for a couple of hours - have to say I am very pleased so far. Great starting point.

Gert Sørensen

These presets are amazing. All of Gavin's work and products are superb.

Sam Mike

You will quickly find great B&W edits...

These are the first actions I ever purchased for LR I used them today several times and I must say I am really impressed. I have NIK and a few other B&W programs for PS but these are really well made and if you follow the training video you will quickly find great B&W edits to start with saving lots of time then you just tweak them to your taste and style.

Paul Seymour

WOW THANKS!

Just bought the pack. Simply amazing. I just bought a Leica M10M and using your tools it really comes to life.

Luis Uriza

I LOVE SILVER 4!

I LOVE SILVER 4... I feel that your C1 styles give me a really professional look. The hardest part of using them is deciding which "film" to use.

Edit black and white with AI and layers in V5

Silver 5 lets you choose you look and create authentic black and white that is truly next-gen using the the latest tools. But it still stays true to the roots of black and white and lets you decide.

Create classic darkroom inspired black edits with fast Filmic presets. Use presets designed with the the latest AI and layer tools tools of LR and C1 for instant and inspired mixes. Mix and create your look. Then add easy changes with the new Mod-Kit so you have all the control, faster.

All this while maintaining legacy compatibility with older versions like Lightroom 6.

 

More Intelligent conversions instantly!

Whether your shoot weddings streets' or landscapes. Silver 5 brings you more refined black and white. Editing can get confusing in a world of so many plugins and options. Silver 5 makes it easy, because it leverages the software you already use. Advanced black and white edits are just easer with Sliver 5.  

It's not just more presets. Years of black and white shooting and development combined with the latest features and Ai tools, give you a black and white system that makes editing fast, and leaves you on total control.

Want more... After Silver, you can go further in Photoshop on your very best photos using tools like BlackRoom. I media video comparing Lightroom VS Photohop for Black and White here

* Silver 5 works in LR5+ and Capture one 12+ Ai tools work in Lightroom Classic, Web and Mobile.

 

Introducing Mod-Kit - Mix Your Shadows!

I'm excited because Silver 5 takes control to another level. But with Mod-Kit, you creates you look then control smaller elements like curves, grit intensity and dyanmic range with just another click.

Silver is not just more black and white presets. Each recipe is new and you have all the ingredients prepared. But then you add Mod-Kit. This separate included pack  lets you mod any look from any recipe or preset in an always handy way. You're the chef and Mod-Kit your recipes easier.

My mentor taught me that tone is the most misunderstood element in photography. I've learned that is especially true with shadow and the great black and white photographer always focused on their shadows.

Mod-Kit uses the latest Ai tools of LR and layer integrations of C1 to create fast complex edits without the hassle.

 

Advanced layers and Ai: Silver 5 gets you better faster results than plugins knows that the native latest tools in our Raw apps naturally. That means you have more control without wasting time.

Darkroom Inspired: The new darkroom inspired mixes are second to none. These take the detail, atmosphere inspired by film, but with the clean control of digital

Made by a master Photographer:  Gavin is a PPA Master photographer with 20 years of shadow hunting and software. Silver 5 is his baby and V5 makes perfect conversions a snap.

           

I'm Gavin Seim. I'm a Shadow Hunter

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
