a shout out

…to my friend Jessica.

She has got some crazy skillz. And she created an outrageous bunch of presets for Lightroom. For jpg picture-takers, like myself.

And this Triple Set? It rocks.

Why, exactly, am I talking about jpg pictures and post-processing today?

Because my sister left. And took her precious kiddos with her.

I am in denial.

Soooo, to cope with it all, I’ve been up to my elbows messing around with the One Willow Triple Set all afternoon. Seriously, I could stay in Lightroom forever, playing with all the stunning presets, tones and post (this set has 60 presets, 41 posts and 5 tones… what?!?), but decided to come up for air to share these with y’all.

And to clean a few inches of crumbs off my kitchen floor.

Pictures first, crumbs later….

SOOC (straight out of the camera)
One Willow Preset – Marshmallow
Post 1 – Edge
One Willow Preset – Mirror
Post – Vignette
Post 1 – Curve
One Willow Preset – Enchanted
Post 1 – Edge
Post 1 – Curve
Post 1 – Pop II

One Willow Vintage B/W – Tatum III
Post 1 – Clearly
Post 2 – Washed Edge

Right now Jessica is even offering three of these Triple Sets to folks who sign up to sponsor through An Orphan’s Wish.

Mad skillz and a heart as big as Texas. I just love her.

And I just love the way her presets can transform an ordinary picture.

I can’t seem to decide which I like best, though. Do you have a favorite?

    I don't know a thing about presets, but I love the look of "Enchanted". It really makes the boy 'pop' and gives the feeling of an overcast day, with the sun just pooping through for a minute. Love it!

    OK – wow – but honesty time – let's start with you "saved" this shot in the camera with the fstop set to make the depth of field 'work' – so the SOC is great! Marshmallow is clear and away my fav – but only because I've got the SOC for comparison. I'm not a big 'B&W' guy – so we can forget that one – but I do LOVE they way that preset mimics the 'light leak' that you got with so many vintage 'box' cameras! Mirror and Enchanted both 'dumb down' or 'tone up' the blues / green-yellow and natural lighting too much for my taste.

    Marie got a copy of LR for her birthday – now all she needs is some 'calm time' and a right arm that's working better to install and dive into the program….in a way maybe I'm glad that she hasn't yet – I like seeing her sometimes!

    hugs – aus and co.
