Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I really love this present too, thanks Hi Matt,

Is that set by the curve? I'm getting double edges in cases where the contrast was already high and I'd love to turn the edginess a bit. Otherwise this is one of my favorite presets yet! :-) Matt: What component of the preset causes the harsh edges. Is that set by the curve?

We all know the limitations of lightrooms noise reduction... I was wondering if a program like DeFine 2.0 could be incorporated into lightroom. It's a software program that is supposed to be an add-on to Adobe photoshop.... why not an add-on in Adobe Lightroom Can that be accompolished... Please advise. Matt,

I have looked in the posts and have not found the answer to this. When applying the presets, does the current preset sit on top of the previous selected preset or does it cancel them out? What if you are applying multiple ones and decide you do not like one of them? Do you have to restart from the original image? Not much of a difference on ones like todays posts but can make a difference when applying contrast style ones. Just thought a post on how to apply multiple presets could be useful. Thanks again for all that you offer and just so you know your page is the start-up page for my browser and has been for over a year. Look forward to what's comes up each time I open a new page.

I find it useful for the gritty effect when I need to make something look surreal. I crank up the noise reduction to give the skin tones or whatever tones a more painted look to make it even more surreal. I never printed it to compare though. Never used the Camera ACR stuff as well. Did play with it but it feels like playing with split tone. Anyways, I love everything your doing and the photoshopuser crew. I watch the episodes every week. I also purchased your book layers, and Scott's 7-point system. These 2 books have been a great help in terms of my post process work. I 200% faster and more efficient than before. So thanks.

I've bought your Power Workflow set and really appreciate having a set for RAW files and a set for JPEGs. I just got to remember to use the right ones! Excellent work from both you guys, Matt and Gavin. Kind regards, mcv Hi Gavin,
