Step 1 - Install Presets and Open Image

This version of Sean Archer Presets is organized into four categories:

1. Light (3 choices + Reset)
2. Gamma (4 choices + Reset)
3. Tone (20 choices +Reset)
4. Brushes (3 options + 10 Local Adjustment Effects)

For each category, select 1 option and tweak as necessary.

Each category has a RESET which removes the adjustments specific to each category without
affecting other settings you may have added to the image.
Step 2 - Select A Light Option

• Select either Light 1, Light 2 or Light 3

• Each one gives you a greater intensity of
relighting
• The information in the parenthesis is the
instructions on where and how to position the
lights
• To remove a Light setting after selecting it,
click Light RESET

Step 3 - Click ⇧M (Shift+M)

• After you select a Light, click Shift + M

• Three Radial Filters will appear over your image in the shape of a CLOCK
• You will move and resize these 3 Radial Filters to affect key parts of your image
• If you select a different Light setting after you have positioned the Radial Filters, Lightroom will
reset the Radial Filters into the original positions and you will have to reposition them again
Step 4 - Select Dot 12 (o’clock) Head

• This is the default position when the Preset is selected

• Your mission is to re-size and re-shape this Radial Filter to highlight the key part of the subject’s
head or more specifically, face
• For a more dramatic and natural effect, try to stay inside the head and not bleed into the
background where it will appear as a halo
• Highlight the part of the face you want to bring forward
Step 5 - Select Dot 3 (o’clock) Near Head

• Move this dot from the default position at 3 o’clock to a place next to the subject’s head
• Test this Radial Filter on either side of your subject’s head to see which looks better
• Try moving and re-sizing the shape to keep it off the face
• This Radial Filter acts like a new light source for the image
Step 6 - Select Dot 6 (o’clock) Body

• Move this dot from the default position at 6 o’clock to a place over the subject’s body
• Re-size the shape and angle to isolate the body and try to keep it away from the background so it
doesn’t add a “halo”
Step 7 - Select a Gamma Punch

• Go to the next set of presets called Gamma Punch

• You can roll your mouse over each one to preview
how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove a Gamma Punch setting after selecting it,
click Gamma Punch RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not
effect your other presets

Step 8 - Select a Tone

• The next set of presets are called Tones. They are

basically different color settings
• Roll your mouse over each one to preview how they
look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove a Tone setting after selecting it, click Tone
RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not
effect your other presets
Step 9 - Eye Enhancements

• Enhancing the eyes with the Sean Archer Preset is easy with 3 easy steps. Make sure you’ve
copied the LensLab Brushes into the Lightroom “Local Adjustment Presets” Folder. (Refer to this

2. Step 2 - Select an Eye Brush from the Effect drop-down with the appropriate color
3. Step 3 - Paint the effect on the eyeballs

• Keep in mind, you can further adjust the Eyes settings by changing the settings below the Effects
pulldown.
Step 10 - Lash & Brows

• Next paint the Lash & Brows effect in and around your subject’s eyelashes and eyebrows.

1. Hit the letter “k” to bring up a local adjustment brush

2. Make sure you click “New” Mask
3. Select the LensLab LASH & BROW Sharpen Brush from the Effect drop-down
4. Paint the effect on the eyelashes and eyebrows
Step 11 - Skin Enhancement

• Next, if needed, use the Enhance Skin brush to shrink pores and reduce imperfections.

1. Hit the letter “k” to bring up a local adjustment brush

2. Make sure you click “New” Mask
3. Select the LensLab SKIN Enhance Brush from the Effect drop-down
4. Paint over the areas of the skin where needed
5. Caution - don’t use too much or it will flatten the subject
That’s it!

Remember you can always tweak any of the settings in the Develop Module to suit each image and
your individual taste.

Good luck!
