Using Custom Presets

Thus far, I’ve covered develop presets in a couple of different places in the book, so you should be familiar with how to create your own by now. But did you know that you can upload someone else’s presets? Tons of presets are available on the Internet; some are for purchase, but many are free and cover all sorts of looks and effects that you can add to your own images. Two good sources for presets are www.adobe.com and Matt Kloskowski’s Lightroom Killer Tips blog (www.lightroomkillertips.com). To find them on Adobe’s site, type Lightroom Develop Presets into the search bar at the top of the home page and then look for a link in the results (it’s usually the first result). To locate them on Matt’s page, click the Presets link in the Categories box in the right sidebar.
