35 Adobe Lightroom Presets – Adding Professionalism to Photography
Lightroom is a very powerful image management application database from Adobe, it not only allows professional photographers to manage hundreds and thousands of images, it also allows you to to do high quality post production work, you can also create time saving preset effects that you can use over and over, or you can download some of these professional presets below, and really give your photo some life. 300 Movie Style 6 Black & White A preset that goes dark in black and white
Timothy Armes' LR/Enfuse
LR/Enfuse is a Lightroom plugin that allows you to blend multiple exposures together directly from within Lightroom by using the open source Enfuse application. With LR/Enfuse you can: Blend images of different exposures together in order to create a natural looking image with a greater dynamic range. Blend a series of images where the focus point is difference in order to create an image with a greater depth of field - this is a common approach when creating a macro image. Blend a series of images for night photography image stacking in order to create an image with a longer exposure than is possible with a single frame.

I’m excited to announce that Lightroom mobile now includes the ability to capture raw, high dynamic range (HDR) images! In the Lightroom mobile app, tap the camera icon and then choose HDR from the drop down at the bottom of the screen. Lightroom mobile automatically analyzes the scene to determine the appropriate spread of exposure values over three shots (most other apps only average two exposures). Then, Lightroom automatically aligns, de-ghosts, and tone maps the image, creating a 16-bit floating point DNG file which can then be edited as desired. The resulting DNG file offers a much larger dynamic range than a singe raw file while maintaining all other advantages of a raw file such as higher bit-depth per color, lack of JPEG compression, and the ability to address white balance after capture with no loss of information! Although, HDR files are larger, I believe the superior image quality and greater editing flexibility are well worth the increase in file size.

This is a set of 2 presets with a wonderful warming effect. The resulting warm look is further enhanced with a vignette.The preset works equally well with JPEGs and Raws. As the name implies, it adjusts the white balance to add a wonderful warm tone to the image. It “tightens up” the dynamic range by applying a little fill light and recovery, boosts the saturation and then “sharpens” the overall image by using a combination of Clarity (mid-tone contrast enhancement) and sharpen sliders. There are two presets in this pack. A “regular” version and a “lite” version which just adds a little less of the warming effect.
Plug-ins – John Beardsworth
I create and maintain a range of Lightroom plug-ins, mainly related to improving and manipulating metadata entry. I also do some custom development and have practical experience of a wide range of tools (I used to be a financial IT consultant specifying and implementing business systems) : XML, XMPPHP, JavaScript, AjaxExcel VBA developerSQL Server, some Oracle Custom scripts can be quick for me to write but can save you lots of time.

Lightroom Tip - Using Snapshot record sequence of edits
Lightroom v1 has a powerful new feature called 'Snapshot' which allows you to save and re-apply a sequence of edits on any image. It's a bit like Photoshops' Action but far easier to use. It can be found under the History Panel on the left hand side of Develop Module. Snapshot Function in Lightroom It is used as follows:

How to Make Your Portraits POP with Lightroom
The other day I wrote this Lightroom tutorial on my blog . I thought I'd share it here and see if anyone finds it helpful. I'm using a quick photo I took as an example for importing photos into Lightroom. So I didn't get the exposure right and I didn't find the best direction for the light. As a result she is a little too dark, her eye sockets have a little more shadow than they should, and there isn't quite as much pop. But hopefully it shows some things you can do to "save" a photo.
