 B&W Infra Red Like |
Another B&W conversion with the feel of infra-red. This one is a bit stronger than the one above.
Landscape
|
Before |
 With the Landscape Preset |
Designed especially for landscape photos. Gives a pleasing result in sky, grass and overall clarity and saturation. It’s a subtle look, but ads nice tones and generally enhances the image.
HDR Like
 Original (street scene) |
 With the HDR-Like Preset |
Many people like the “look” of heavy tonemapped High Dynamic Range images (HDR). While Lightroom does not produce HDR images, one can simulate the look do a degree.
This Preset does not work on all types of images. Dark images will look downright aweful and images with lots of blue (sky and water) will not look right either.
However, it provides great effects when used for buildings, street scenes and even some landscapes.
Polaroid
|
Before |
 With the Polaroid Preset |
Just a fun preset for those with nostalgic memories of their polaroid camera. This preset gives a somewhat washed-out blueish tone to your photos. The effect works better on some images than others so some experimentation is in order.
Negative
|
Before |
 With the Nagative Preset |
This unusual preset creates an effect that cannot be created by using the Lightroom user interface.
It inverts the image, turning the entire image into a negative. Can be useful when dealing with scanned negatives you may have lying around.
