I am not sure if you are still taking suggestions but one that I would love to see for Lightroom is a Muted Color Preset as seen here: http://flickr.com/groups/photoshopsupport/discuss/72157594475266866/ This link shows how to do it in Photoshop - maybe there is a way we can achieve this look in Lightroom as well? Thanks again and keep up the good work. -Nick Hi Matt,

I'm an old film guy (no pun intended) and wonder if you have a Velvia preset up your sleeve? Matt, Love the presets.

I just finished packaging a wedding that this would have been perfect for. What to do... do I redo it or just wait for the next one??? Man!

It's not that I'm lazy or anything like that but as a Lightroom novice there's just so much to learn and Lightroom is so jam packed with good stuff I wonder how I will ever learn it all. We are all very fortunate to have someone available like you that has such a passion for this product and you're more than willing to share. I know it's probably beginning to sound like a broken record but thanks for all you do for those of us who read your blog daily. What do you think will happen with the Slideshow module? It is lacking a little bit. I think I would prefer something I could export photos out of Lightroom to to create a DVD based slideshow I can run on any DVD player anywhere. Any hints or advice on something like that? Regards, Dennis D. Like many I also appreciate your work to bring us some of the best presets for Lightroom.

This is one of the things I really like about LR—the ability to easily share things like presets, templates, etc. I, also, look forward to reading your blog with your no-nonsense approach.

Here's a few answers. Steve: I think I have a video called Creative Printing that should help. Here's the link: http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/2007/video-creative-printing/ Essentially, use the layout options on the right hand side to make your print look the way you want. You can use the Page Setup button to change the size of the page if you want. Then go on the left side to the templates and click the Add button to save it. Mark: Yep, I used to use a Dell. It is far from a sponsorship. Apple has no idea who we even are let alone sponsor us :) Basically, I needed a laptop that ran both Windows and Mac. I still do lots of Elements training (Windows only for the most part) but I have to be up to speed on programs like Aperture to be able to fairly compare it to what I use. If Aperture made a better program I'd use it and I'd have to be able to tell the viewers that or I'd lose credibility. So... I got tired of lugging around 2 laptops all the time and got a Mac Book Pro that I set up to dual boot Windows and Mac. Vista came out and I actually liked it (I know, I'm one of the few it seems) for a while. But after working on the mac side often enough I grew to like it even more. It just seemed easier to navigate around and get the job done. So... that's the long answer to a short question. Nobody asked me to switch or paid me anything. After using both for a while I just found the mac OS to be more user friendly so I stuck with it. As for the Detroit thing, I have no idea. I'll let our seminar guys know you're asking though. Matt - Mostly, I try never to adjust the main tonal settings (exposure, recovery, white balance, blacks). I usually assume you've developed your photo first and then are applying effects to it. That said, it doesn't always happen that way (like this week), but it's a good bet that I leave those main settings alone in my presets. Thanks everyone. Matt K Hey guys. Here’s a few answers.

I have a question for you. Sometimes you say to adjust the image before applying the preset. But some presets wipeout all the prior adjustments that have been made, and some presets add to the adjustment that have been made. How can one tell if a preset is going to add to the previous adjustments or wipeout all the work already done to the image? -Matt Thanks for the presets! I have a question for you.

I have a question that comes out of left field a bit, but I've been wondering nonetheless: At the beginning of Photoshop User TV, you used to use a PC. I don't remember when you switched to a Mac, but I actually enjoyed that there was a mix of platforms among the Photoshop Guys. Can you please enlighten me on why you switched? Ease of use? using mac at home? some kind of sponsorship? I'm not looking to start any kind of Mac vs. PC thing here in the comments, as there's plenty of that already all over the web, I'm just curious why you yourself switched. Thanks, and I hope to meet you one day when you do a work shop in Detroit, which is a city that is curiously omitted from every single event ever produced by NAPP. ;) Thanks, Mark Hi Matt,
