People have asked me about being able to do this for a long time. Now with Lightroom 7.3 and the latest version of Camera Raw the, updated presets format allows you to use your Lightroom presets in Photoshop and Camera Raw and you can start now. In today’s video, I’ll show you how.

All of our current preset collections have been updated so if you’re ready to use the likes of Natural HDR, Belladonna, Silver or our other presets in Photoshop and Camera Raw, now you can. If you like this video subscribe to my YouTube channel. Also if you installed the presets in LR 7.3 or above they should automatically appear in PS/Camera Raw. But if you don’t use Lightroom you’ll need to install the presets first into Camera Raw. Here’s a video about that.

Also if you order 2 collections you can save 15% with code: BUNDLE. Or you can go here for more bundle deals.

If you don’t have Silver 3 you can get it here. This is a free update for current owners so if you already bought silver check your email for the download link.

3.1 brings a bunch of new refinements, but rather than write about them I’ll show what’s new and some tips for Silver 3 in this video. I also made this in 4K so you can go hog wild with your full screen. You watch directly on my channel here.

Does this photo look green and ugly? Not in black and white it doesn’t. These two sliders change everything and in today’s video we’ll find out why.

This is another tip for raw processing and for (but not limited to) the new Silver 3 presets. We’re going to look at how you can take better control of your black and white process by using the white balance sliders to get the luminance and gradient mix you want in every image.

You’ve likely done this before, but I thought we would take the time to understand better how white balance effects black and white. Some of the presets in Silver 3 do this already behind the scenes, but you can tweak any black and white process to your heart’s content using this method.

The presets I’m using are Silver 3 for Lightroom. Get them here.

Behold, Power Workflow 4. It’s been a long time coming and you won’t be disappointed… Gav
