Post Processing with Sleeklens.com
Last week I've found a web site sleeklens.com that creates workflows (presets and brushes) for any type of photography - wedding, landscape, portrait, architecture, black and white, etc...
You might have seen a lot of presets on the Internet as well Adobe Lightroom own presets. In most of the cases after you applied them you need to adjust settings to achieve the result you want.
From my experience I've learnt do not expect a lot from the presets. But sleeklens landscape presets have prove that I was wrong.
This is a panorama created in Lightroom, unprocessed, taken in RAW.
Now let's get started.
Step 1 - All in One - Warm Shadows
Step 2 - Preset Base - Auto Tone Color
Step 3 - Brush Light Darken applied to darken a pavement to direct a view toward the waterfall
Step 4 - Preset Reduce Yellow - because I was using ND filter some yellow color comes up that needs to be removed to make the photo more realistic.
Step 5 - Brush Color - Cooler - let's add some blue color to the waterfall
And 2 final steps...
Step 6 Preset - Vignette Medium Black
And the final step 7 - Brush Strokes - Light Darken to remove some overexposed spots
Done...
From this -
To this -
In 7 steps.
