A lot of this celeb photographers have access to the best of the best gear too. That camera Jill G. Is shooting with is atleast 50K. The photos almost come out instantly looking like a HDR photograph. If only we could all have access to this kinda stuff.

any any chance you could take a shot at a “30 days of night” or “300 - in the snow vs the wolf scene”…basically a dramatic preset, but very cold.

ive had very little luck trying to tweak the colors to try and get it right.

thanks for the help and for offering all the free presets. i just downloaded a huge chunk of them and im about to give them a whirl.

Hi, I am wondering, since you’ve done a Bleach Bypass “Saving Private Ryan” preset, and a 300 preset, how about a “Golden Compass” preset?

The look follows the poster art for the movie, which has a lot of soft grays, skin tones are natural and soft, but gold and yellows are strong.

Hi, Matt. The “Auto” Tone command in LR seems to be useless. It always blows out the highlights to one degree or another. Is there a way to use this tool that gives a better result (some hidden highlight/shadow adjustment defaults or whatever)? As I scan hundreds of photos, all with different tonal ranges, it would be very helpful to have this work properly. Thanks, Dick.

There are several very nice holga presets for photoshop. It would not work in Lightroom as you need a radial blur and I pretty sure Lightroom does not support blur (yet?).

The quality of the screen caps on IMDB are terrible BTW now that I look at them. You would need to see the movie to get the feel for it.

I love the look of the movie Amelie.

I’d love to have a preset for this.

Though I feel Underwater shots would be hard to make a general preset for since a slight change in depth can make a difference in the color, I guess it would not hurt to try. There here is a link to a YouTube slide show I put together from a recent trip to Maui. If there are not “bad enough” just ask….I have plenty that are out of whack….
