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

The Sale ends April 3oth 2012..
by Gavin Seim: Lightroom 4 released during our three month winter tour (more on that here), as the family and I road tripped for the best views America has to offer and recorded segments for the new EXposed video series.
Weeks updating presets on the road. From the camper, beside lakes, in parking lots and at picnic tables. But all three Seim Effects preset collections have been updated. Each refined and each better than it was before. Each fully Lightroom 4 compatible and still equally compatible with earlier versions of Lightroom.
To celebrate the updated Seim Effects Lightroom collections and the coming of Spring, I’m starting a SALE that only lasts through the end of April. With it you can get in instant $10 off any Lightroom Develop collection I offer. And I’m also extending that special for Lightflow, my Aperture collection (don’t want to leave Aperture users in the dust). Every collection is ready for the toughest critics and guaranteed quality.
The details are below. Hope you enjoy. Now we can once again hit the open road… Gavin

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
