Matt, used your sky preset on my iceberg shots from Alaska. It was a cloudy day and I was having trouble getting the blues to pop. Thought about your sky presets and gave it a shot. They look great. Thanks.

Matt, I just wanted to tell you that you have an amazing talent and to thank you for all your hard work with all of these presets you continually put out. They’ve been a tremendous help and brought impressive punch and drama to many of my own photos. Keep up the good work man.

Matt, sorry if this is not the place to ask for help but I didn’t see any other contact information. I’m having a real problem with the catalog in LR2 beta and maybe some other people are having trouble too. I seem to be constantly “missing” (! on the overlay) images and I have to search for them or grab them from a backup, I also have a lot of red folders in my catalog and folders that say they have zero images but I can not delete them from the catalog. The following links are screenshots.

Can you maybe do an article on fixing catalog problems? I’d also like to know if there is an automated way to reorganize the catalog. I use the “by date” structure for my folders but I now want to move all of those under a “clients” directory. Is there a way to do this without getting the dreaded ! on every image in the catalog?

Thanks for all you do!

When a preset is used how do you cut out the part of the pic that you dont want the preset to effect? Great work Matt.

Hi Matt,
This is excatly what I’ve been looking for that kind of presets. I always love the blue sky. I’ve shot alot of outside jobs with my army stuff. So keep up the good work. Whenever I go into the lightroom and mostly of the times I have use the so called Black and that makes the color come out even better as I dont use the exposure. I even notice that the LR and CS3 PS doesnt match the color when I do the printing so the LR prints are really awesome. KEEP UP YOUR GOOD JOB!!!! MANY MANY THANKS..

Thanks, Matt. This is one your best and most effective presets yet! I haven’t found a photo yet that it doesn’t do wonders on. I’ll be using it often.
