Using PerfectPresets
onOne Perfect Presets are found in the develop module inside of Lightroom. These presets automatically set controls in the develop module to adjust or enhance your image. They are divided into three volumes, or folders. Described below are the details of each volume.

Volume 1 - Created by Jack Davis Designed to work the way you work, the PerfectPresets Vol 1 with One-Click WOW! tackle only one development parameter at a time, allowing you to optimize your image at each step and create the look you really want without sacricing any quality. Rather than bloated presets that control all the variables at once and make adjustments that you may not like and you have to hunt down to x. You start with adjusting your images color and tone and then can add eects like black and white conversions, tinting, split-toning and vignetting. PerfectPresets Vol 1with One Click WOW! are named using the following convention, all starting with WOW. WOW-a_WB = White Balance Adjustments WOW-b_Auto-Tone = Tone Curve Adjustments WOW-b_Vibrance = Vibrance Adjustments WOW-c_HSL = Hue, Saturation Lightness Adjustments WOW-d_BnW = Black White conversions WOW-e_Tint = Color Tints WOW-f_Vignette = Vignettes Workow Concept - Adjust one Variable at a Time. PerfectPresets Vol 1with One-Click WOW! are designed to work the way you do and the way that Lightroom recommends. If you look at the tools in the development panels they are in an order, the order that you should adjust them. Starting with tonal and hue adjustments and followed by ne tuning options like color tinting, saturation, split-toning and vignetting. Using the PerfectPresets Vol 1 with One-Click WOW! works the same way. Rather than creating bloating presets that attempt to adjust many variables at once you pick one option from each of the categories listed above. You can easily preview your choices using the Navigator panel above the presets. This will show you the eect

of the presets as your mouse glides over them. Here are some step by step instructions on how to use them. 1. Start by selecting an image you wish to work on and then switching to the Develop module. 2. The rst thing to adjust is the white balance. Run your mouse over the rst section of presets that start with "WOW-a_WB" and watch the preview in the navigator. When you nd the color balance that you prefer, simply click on that preset. 3. Now it is time to adjust the tonality. Repeat the same procedure as step two but with the presets labeled "WOW-b_Auto-Tone." 4. At this point your image should look like the scene you photographed. You can stop at this point if you wish but there are many more fun things you can do. 5. If you wish to change the Vibrance (saturation) you can use the the presets labeled "WOWb_Vibrance." 6. You can also use the "WOW--c_HSL" presets to emphasis a certain color range or remove color from all but a certain color range yielding a hand-colored look. 7. If you are looking for dynamite black and white conversions try the "WOW-d_BnW" presets which will convert your image to black and white while simulating dierent contrast or color lters to emphasis certain tonal ranges. 8. You can also add a color tint, like a lter, to your image by using the "WOW-e_Tint" presets to add a touch of warm or cool. 9. And the nal touch, a light or dark vignette may be added using the "WOW-f_Vignette" presets. Quick Tips Tip One: Remember you can save your own recipes as presets so you can always nd them again easily. Tip Two: If you change your mind on setting, don't be afraid to go back and select a dierent preset at any time. Remember that the PerfectPresets only adjust one variable at a time. Tip Three: If you ever wish to remove the eect of a preset use the WOW reset preset at the top of each section of presets.
