Hey Matt,

Keep them coming.

One thing people may want to keep in mine is that if you cropped the image you may remove part of the effect.

One way around is to crop in Ps and then import back into Lr then apply preset as needed.

Shouldn’t be a problem with Lr 2.0 from what I have read due to the application of vignetting on cropped images.

I love taking a look here every morning, thanks.
I have had lightroom since its release. And, recently purchased element 6. I have your book with Scott Kelby. But, having never worked in elements before, I am having a hard time grasping the concept. Is there a book you coul reccoment for total newbies like me? Additionally, I am trying to creat the watermark, and following instructions. Was there a step skipped? From step One to step Two?
Again, thank you for your tips and videos, I enjoy them so much.

Funny enough I created the same presets for myself awhile ago when trying new things by doing the inverse of usual habits.

When it works, it really works and makes the photo pop

Cool Matt. I always like working with edges vignettes. I’m with you. Usually I use dark ones to draw the eye, but a light one at the right time can be cool.

I find they should be used sparingly compared to a darker edge, but who knows. It might be the next trend.

These presets are so cool however when I download them they are in a Zip file and I am having a hard time opening them as a zip file. Any ideas out there? Matt your presets look cool and I would love to put them in my Lightroom program. Can you or anyone out there in Lightroom help me with this? Thanks and keep up the great work.
