Many of you who follow me on twitter know that I’ve had many stability issue’s with Lightroom 2. I know others have had problems as well. We’ve been waiting for some bug fixes.

Well Adobe Labs made 2.1 available today. It won’t be in automatic update yet, but it’s worth getting manually. Though I have not used it much yet I do see indications that there are some good improvements. Brushes may even be working smoother now. I won’t make this long. It’s time for bed. Go get it for yourself and share a comment about what you find.

Thanks to Twitterer’s for letting us know…

At $299.00 (99.00 upgrade from V1) Lightroom two is still a Benjamin more than Aperture, but holds the biggest market share to be sure. We’re pretty excited over here. Here’s a list of some of the best new features as outlines on Adobe.

  • Local adjustment brush

  • Extensible architecture
  • Multiple monitor support
  • Flexible print package functionality
  • Streamlined Photoshop CS3 integration
  • Enhanced output sharpening
  • 64-bit support for Windows® and Mac OS

I’ve been using beta 2 myself for some time, but will defiantly be getting the full 2.0 release and getting into it. I’m eager to push the limits a but further with my Lightroom Presets We’ll also be talking on the show about it soon.

Free Lightroom Presets and Capture 1 Styles list
Get my free Natural HDR mini pack here. Natural HDR Lightroom Presets.

The Free Lightroom Presets Directory.

Hey tribe it’s Gavin Seim and it’s 2022. This post was a pretty old list and most of the presets here are for older versions of Lightroom but if you install them they will update and work in the newer version. See my Lightroom presets install videos.

I’m going to start adding new free presets for Lightroom and Photoshop RAW, Free Styles for Capture One, and more to this list and get it up to speed again. I’ll need your help by adding your favorites in the comments so I can curate them.

I’m best known for my carefully formulated Lightroom presets. You’ll find a lot of these paid and fully supported packs here on this site. But many of my packs have free mini versions so you can get some of my best Lightroom presets free. I’ll start the list with those and keep adding more.

The old legacy Lightroom presets list…

You’ve just found the biggest, best-maintained list of free LR presets anywhere. I hunt the web for these, trying to add the best and filter out the dead ends. There’s plenty to browse. And feel free to share your favorites in the comments (freebies only).

LR4 and LR5 Presets: The develop module changed in LR4 and most LR3 presets will not fully function under the new process. As more LR4 presets are becoming available I’ll add to the list. I’ll also note listings that I’ve been able to verify are LR4 Compatible. Non-marked listing may be LR1,2 and 3 only.

There are also loads of freebies (linked below). I’m fanatical about quality and honored that they’ve become so well regarded my peers. OK, now on to the goodies. Oh and if you use Apple Aperture, here’s the free Aperture presets list.
