And now for something completely different. I’ve been playing with some new Lightroom Presets. I’ve had them for a little while but haven’t used them before.
Here is the original photo, edited how I would usually edit it:
Although, this is a photo that I would probably edit in black and white usually, so:
I find that it doesn’t have a lot of depth or contrast even, in black and white. I’m not sure, I don’t like the black and white very much, so I decided to try some presets.
And then the fun begins. I feel like this edit has an early 20th century feel to it.
And my favourite edit:
What are your thoughts? Which one is your favourite?
Anyone want to join me in this? #OnePhotoThreeWays.

Interesting subject and treatment, I love the one with the pop of red too, seems to more contrast. Which Lightroom Presets are they? Something you created, purchased or freebies? I seem to collect them and have some many, but I invariably fall back on a few old favorites

I actually prefer the black and white version – more contrast.

HI Desleyjane- I’m with Jude– the B&W, but the faded first is nice, too. I have so many LR presets and like you, don’t use them much. I usually go to Nik first and I am trying Luminar out a bit, too.

Another vote for the B&W, Desleyjane, but the last is quite stunning in a way. Cheers, Ken

Decisions, decisions! The first one would be my preference, if I wasn’t a Scorpio. Since I am, your favourite is mine.

I actually like number three the best. I like the simplicity of the colour palette.

#3 for me – love the faded 1950s colouration as I must have seen the world then!
