FREE Presets from Silver Shadows 2 – Updated for LR 1-4.

NOW UPDATED for LR1-4 | Silver Shadows 2 came out in Nov 2011 and has been a huge success. It represents years of LR refinement since version one. It may blow you away when you see the efficient high quality silver conversions possible without ever leaving LR.

With the release of LR4 came some changes that made old presets not work so well. Users of my current presets collections are getting free updates for LR4 and the first of those was for Silver Shadows 2. You should have already received it if you own them.

I always make up a free sampler pack and I wanted to release an updated one that reflects the changes that came in Silver Shadows 2, for those of you that don’t own the full pack. So below is a free sampler kit that includes 7 presets. For both Lightroom 1-3 and Lightroom4 versions.

You can download below, no strings. When you realize how powerful they are, scope out the full collection. It has over a hundred unique effects, refined and organized into the ultimate black and white toolkit. Either way, head over to the product page for the video of SS2 presets in action while you download the freebies.

Enjoy… Gavin Seim

Lightroom 4 Is Officially Here

by Gavin Seim: Adobe wasted no time getting out of the beta phase. It seems they wanted cha’ching sounds a ringing.

Lightroom 4 is hitting desktops as we speak. Thankfully Adobe did drop the price a good bit to $149 ($79 for upgrades). Something we can probably credit to the Aperture price drop in 2011. Thanks Apple.

All told. LR4 looks pretty good. Not Earth shattering. But good. Sadly there seems to have been few changes from the beta. There were areas some were hoping would get more features. But LR4 has some new develop tools, some refinements and some new modules that will keep us busy.

A few major things to look for include…

  • Changes to the Develop settings, including Shadow, Highlight, White Point and more.
  • Video playback and basic editing support.
  • The book maker module (limited but interesting).
  • More control over Brush and Gradient settings, including localized White Balance.
  • Built in maps module.

Of course there’s more. I’ll be back with some thoughts soon. For now go check it out and let us know what you think in the comments.

More detailed review in the works. This post will be updated… Gav
