Where do I find good free Lightroom presets?

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
Can't find em on the bay, can't find em anywhere. My wife just upgraded to a 60D and her new business is rockin'. I need some presets designed for portrait photos, where is a good source for free presets?

Is it possible to trade/transfer presets? If so would anyone be interested in such a proposal?

I would tend to agree with all of this if I was the photographer in the house. My wife is starting to shoot professionally and says the presets save her a lot of time. She said the ones she could find from google searching didn't yield good results, that the good ones are for sale. I can't even comprehend this, is it not just a few settings and you can make your own preset? I think that's what I'm going to have to tell her to do.

Just figured I'd drop a line in here and see what other photographers thought about the whole thing..

Free good presets? I don't know of any but have wondered my self.

Presets do really save you a lot of time. Often they are great to apply a general skin sharpening, baseline vignette or have a few versions to get you close and save a lot of time in the overall process when you have multiple photots to work with and if these are the looks you are going for.

I know they have some presets here for under $100 for lightroom: http://www.behindtheshutter.com/btsstore/

Its litteraly just a bunch of settings. Some presets have more than others. The ones for sale are just "effects" that make an image look a certain way but its fairly easy to look at the image sometimes and copy the same effect. Not saying it will work for all but most its just people taking advantage of people with less editing knowledge. Its pretty simple to be honest you're better off getting her a book about advanced editig or for lightroom in specific.

Just find a bunch of presets and tweak it! Presets make you life easier if you are shooting a wedding. But for portraits i tend to take more time editing.

One main preset I always have is my import one. I have it set to enable camera lens calibration and automatically add my metadata, and rename my images upon import.
