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.

Power Workflow 3.5 Presets Update – NOW Lightroom 4 Compatible.

As promised I’m not leaving users in the dust or making you buy new presets just for LR4. I’m proud to announce that PW3.5 is here. Power Workflow 3 is our flagship product for LR. If you only buy one collection of presets ever, Power Workflow is probably the one you want. It has some of everything from batch processing, to black and white, to creative color blends and it just got better.

Fully revised, PW3 is now fully compatible with LR4. More than that, there’s been extra refinements to the collection and those apply to both the new LR4 version, as well as the LR1-3 version. Both sets are included in the download.

  • Updated for LR4.
  • Series Refinements.
  • Three New presets.

Did I mention this was free. If you own Power Workflow 3, you should already have your download. If you didn’t get it, or you have an old version of PW and need an upgrade discount, just email me, effects@seimstudios.com. Send me your purchase name or email and I’ll hook you up.

Don’t have PW3? You’re missing out. Check out the presets here. And just in case you missed it, Silver Shadows 2 black and white presets have also been updated for LR4 and the Color Fantasies update will be coming next.

I’m thankful for my customers and happy to be able to make Seim Effects even more versatile. I hope you enjoy… Gav

Power Workflow 3.2 LR Presets. Free Update.

I’ve worked hard to make Power Workflow the set of presets that sets the gold standard for LR presets. PW3 has been out for almost nine months now and has been a home run so far. Well 3.2 just went out, free for you PW3 owners. This update includes some new presets, including a few cool ones dealing specifically with dynamic range. There’s also lots of little tweaks to make the collection more powerful than ever. You can find a list of the changes in the Tips & Info page of the download.

If you own PW3 you should already have an email with your new download. You can simply delete the old ones and install the new. If you didn’t receive them, shoot me an note (effects@seimstudios.com) and I’ll hook you up. And if you don’t own PW3, you’re missing out. Give them a try and if you don’t like them, I’ll give your money back. I can tell you that’s something that happens very rarely.

Best… Gav

Webinar Workshops. A new way to learn coming to Seim Effects

You users been asking about these for a long time. The truth is I’ve avoided it because I really like teaching photography workshops in person, and for some, like my  Lights & Shadows workshop, it’s the only way to fly.

But reality says I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve that I can teach online. With that in mind I’ve decided to stop resisting it. Coming soon is an all new series of digital learning workshops. Separated into bite sized chunks, inexpensive, live and online.

It’s going to start with a Lightroom Power learning series. Workshops that start at basics and work into very advanced editing skills. You can pick the sessions you want based on your current skillset. Cool part is these will be about 90 minutes each and will only cost about twenty dollars. Spend an evening at the live online workshop, then take time to let is soak in before the next one.

After Lightroom I plan to take it further. I may even do a seasonal series. Focused workshops on things that seem simple, but can go so deep. Burning and dodging, cloning, prepping files for print. I’m getting excited because with this online format I can host a workshop on nearly anything, no matter how focused, because there’s no travel and no venue overheads to take into account.

Stay tuned for more details. Registration for The first webinars will be opening soon… Gav

You can follow the Facebook Page. All workshops will be announced there. You can also join the newsletter over in the sidebar >>
