THE EARTH’S TERRAIN

-- the face of our beloved Home. Here we find both sustenance and repose
in the familiar, known beauty around us, and a fresh muse and catalyst
for our craft fostered by the unfamiliar discoveries made in venturing
our own frontiers. Her textures, colors, elevations--a frost covered taiga,
spotted with white spruce trees; the scant, barren tundra bursting forth
with brilliant wildflowers of Spring; the eternal motion and endless shaping
of her oceans-- compel us. We sense a responsibility to her to document,
to preserve and to protect her revered Terrains and the people who
inhabit them. These Lightroom presets and creative profiles are designed
to complement the complex and majestic grace of our Earth as captured
through your lens while respecting the unique and delicate skin tones and
colors found in your portraiture. Each preset is accompanied by profiles to
achieve a customized aesthetic.

 THE TERRAIN PRESETS & CREATIVE PROFILES

What are Creative Profiles?

Profiles themselves are not new to Lightroom or Camera Raw, but with the release of Lightroom 7.3 and Adobe Camera
A R C H I P E L A G O T E R R A I N L I G H T R O O M / A C R P R E S E T S & C R E AT I V E P R O F I L E S

Raw 10.3 we can now “interact” with them by using the new Profile Browser! The Archipelago Terrain Presets and Profiles
are designed so that they work in unison with one another, however the profiles can also be used independently or with
other presets. (Just think of the combination possibilities!) Creative Profiles now utilize 3D Look Up Tables or LUTs and apply
an effect without changing the slider values. Think of them as a layer that can be applied on it’s own or “over top” of a
preset, and controlled with “Amount” or intensity slider! The Terrain Profiles have been made from scratch and tested
on thousands of images from photographers all over the world. They are developed using tonal gradients designed to
enhance your images while maintaining beautiful skin tone.*

*Achieving great skin tone is also dependent upon proper lighting, exposure and white balance.

Included with the Terrain Presets are eight corresponding Profiles. As you 0
click through

the Presets, you will notice that a profile is loaded,

profile browser. The best part about profiles, is that they act like a “layer” above your
presets, and allow you to adjust the strength or amount! So for instance, when you click
984.2 on Terrain 01, it will load the “Tundra” Profile, which you can then adjust the amount slider
990
on, increasing or decreasing the effect.

The Terrain Profiles can also be used on their own without a preset, or they can be mixed/
matched with other Terrain Presets, even different sets. When using the Terrain set, you can
choose a different profile by simply clicking on one of the Terrain Presets, then accessing
the Profile Browser, and selecting a different profile.

990
INCREASE OR DECREASE THE PROFILE EFFECT BY USING THE “AMOUNT” SLIDER.
