Theres a never ending debate about which is better or more practical. Though many pro’s shoot in RAW there are also a lot of great JPEG shooters.
I want a quick easy workflow no matter what I’m editing. The problem with presets, is that a preset made for RAW (and most are) will work lousy on a JPEG file. Most of the time this is not even addressed when presets are given away or sold, so a user may find presets that work lousy and not know why.
Today we want to plug our sister site Seim Effects. They’ve been selling photographers Lightroom presets to speed up their RAW workflow. Today marked the launch of the latest Power Workflow set that’s entirely RAW & JPEG compatible. This requires two completely different sets that are each modified for the file format their to be used with.
The good news is they both come in the collection so now whether you shoot RAW or JPEG you can have great presets, and speedy workflow.
Gavin,
I use both your Power Workflow and Black and White presets and I think they are superb.
One area where I do get slightly confused (particularly in the Power Workflow set) is in terms of interopability of the individual presets. E.g. Set 0 is for resetting, 1 is White balance, 2 is basic colour etc
What I don’t know is that is I select preset 3.xyz does it wipe out the effect of preset 2.abc? For instance to re-apply the “finished look” do I simply go straight to the last preset applied - or am I applying the presets almost like layers building up on each other?
Hope you can find time to answer this one.
Cheers
