Hey Matt

Would it be possible to make a preset with other colours e.g. blue instead of red?

I really miss that 400 Tri-X BW grain since moving to digital. Any good way to do it in LR? perhaps there is a preset.... :) kind of off topic - but does anyone know the best way to ADD grain to photos?

I have downloaded all of your presets and use it more often than changing settings myself. It helps me quick turn around. Thanks a lot Matt. Keep up the good work. Thanks Vish Dear Matt,

A bit off topic but perhaps could be a subject for a future tip or tutorial. Could you give us a workflow suggestion when importing photos from a card that have been taken from a variety of different "themes". An example: I have my sons track meet, shoot a few frames. On my way back to the studio I see some fantastic landscape photos I can use for a client design, shoot a few frames. That evening I go to a Cub Camp with my other son, snap a few frames. When I get back it's my daughters birthday, snap, snap. The card finally gets full and then I dump onto my photo drive. The folder is named 100D200 and has a bunch of photos from different events and purposes. These are my questions: 1. Do you separate the images in the 100D200 folder into folders with appropriate heading, birthdays, camps, etc? 2. Do you have folders on your photo drive with all these different type of family events you put photos into? 3. Do you forget about separating photos on the drive and do all that catalog work in LR? If so that does that mean that all you folders on the photo drive remain the generic 100D200 name or do you give it some name like the current date? Does this also mean that there would be little chance of finding photos on the drive unless you booted LR as photos would all have similar names and generic folders? 4. Do you ever rename the photos? If so, what naming scheme do you use? If you could roll this into a tutorial of best practices that would be appreciated. If you have already covered this topic I would be grateful if you could direct me to that tutorial. many thanks, RD Hi Matt, thanks for the preset.
