    HOW TO EDIT WITH LIGHTROOM PRESETS
    Step-by-step guide by Tomas Havel | ​@tomashavel

    I hope that this tutorial can help you understand my presets and take your
    photo editing up to the next level with just a few clicks.

    This special portrait collection by @


    ​ tomashavel ​together with​ @evewithcamera
    is designed to match portrait photographs and help you to reach enhance colors
    and natural skin.

    Please note that because every image is different, every preset is meant as a
    starting point. Most presets work differently on every image depending on the
    exposure, lighting, colors in the image, etc. Therefore I do not include the
    correction of the exposure and white balance to make presets more versatile.

    The portrait collection includes also Split Toning and Vignette Presets and give
    you the freedom to create. Based on those structured filters a desktop version of
    Lightroom is recommended for the best results.

    To get the most out of my presets, do the following:

    1) Apply one of the main preset looks (presets: 1.1 - 1.25) .

    Each preset gives you a different color scheme and atmosphere, adds vibrancy to
    your portrait images and brings out natural skin.

    Before applying them, please adjust exposure properly to get the most out of the
    presets. It’s best to get the correct exposure in camera when shooting. However,
    you can adjust it in Lightroom if needed. The second step is to make sure your
    white balance is spot on, then my presets give you the look you’ve been trying to
    achieve.

    2) ​Add Vignette or custom Split Toning (presets: 2.1 - 4.1).

    Vignetting​ - This collection includes four types of realistic vignette. Which


    vignette you choose is entirely up to you. Vignetting adds drama, brings the
    mood to your photos, and above all, sets off the main subject and makes your
    pictures pop.

    Split Toning -​ Split toning adds a level of visual sophistication to a photograph.


    Add emphasis to certain features and enhances natural light and skin
    wonderfully. Complete whites and complete blacks will remain unaffected.
    3) Sharpening

    The secret to doing sharpening without introducing noise is to hold alt / cmd key
    and drag the masking slider to see where the sharpening is being applied to. Set
    the masking slider around 50-75 for great sharpening of the edges only.

    Now the image is crisp without any noise on the sky or on spots without any
    texture.

    Here you can see the application of presets to my certain photo.
