Free LR Workshop – Gavin Seim’s Lightroom Essentials, LIVE

Sometimes mastering basics is the toughest and most foundational part of learning a your software. I do offer a complete LR training series called LR Ninja, but I had this live recording from a webinar I did last year and thought I would share with you all. It’s the complete workshop covering LR Essentials and is about an hour and a half long.

Be aware that since it was live it includes the quick breaks, questions and the like. It was made in LR3 so some minor things are different, but most things work exactly the same. In this workshop we cover Catalogs, Basic Tools, Grid Editing and more. Dive in and enjoy. You can also open it in YT and watch in HD. Start using LR today, or brush up with some new techniques. And if you want more structured and advanced workshops check out LR Ninja.

Enjoy… Gav

Elegance Brushes, Essentials – A Free LR4 Presets Pack

by Gavin Seim: Sometime back I made a little pack of brush presets for Lightroom and it got download over 25,000 times. With the release of Lightroom 4 and it’s new develop tools, I decided it was time to revisit brushes. I started over and made a brand new pack of  free brush presets for LR4. There powerful new tools in LR4 brushes, including white balance, better softening, better tone control and more. If you still use LR2-3 check out the old brushes.

This FREE Essentials pack has six brush presets that cover, well the essentials. For some of you that may be enough. But for the rest..

 

..This time I went further. I made the The Elegance Brush Collection. A complete pack of more than 20 LR4 brushes that cover everything essentials to creative tools like the warming brush, a highlight brush, the HDR brush and lots more. A simple elegant, reasonably priced brush toolkit for those of us that want more and to support my work. You can see a complete list of all brushes and the first 6 that are in this free pack on the product page.

 

You can download the FREE essentials set below. As you do please share this post with others.

Gavin Seim’s FREE LR4 Video Editing Presets Pack.

So now that my official preset collections have been updated for Lightroom 4, I’ve had a little more time to experiment with video and what’s possible in LR4.

I’ve also been recording a lot of footage for my new EXposed workshop series and have been utilizing the simple video tools in LR to save me time. So far I’ve been pretty happy with the results.

While we don’t have full develop module control over video, there’s a lot we can do beyond Quick Develop, if settings are placed within presets.

So with that, I’m releasing a sampler pack of presets, each of which will work on video and give a variety of simple but useful effects from quick tonal boosts to bleached color.

This is really a test pack to experiment with what’s possible. If there’s enough interest, I may release a full editing collection for video in the future. Of course these presets can also be applied to still images, but they were designed for video work.

Also note that these are preset for LR4 only as you cannot edit video in earlier versions. OK, here’s the download. If you like what you see, check out my other editing packs and workshop on the homepage. Enjoy… Gav
