Yesterday, I showed you this:

Today I will show you how I did it.

I’ve been in love with One Willow Studios on Flickr for a very long time. I was so excited when One Willow’s Jessica Paige announced that she was about to release her own set of Lightroom Presets to apply edits to your photos. I absolutely adore LR presets. If you haven’t used LR before and you’re wondering ‘so where’s the how-to part of this tutorial?’ I have to say…there isn’t anything easier than using LR presets. You just click one button. That’s it.

I finally got my own set of Jessica’s ‘Retro Candy Presets’ and they are f-a-b FAB! What makes them different from other presets? Well, for starters, they are buildable which I haven’t experienced with any other presets before. When you choose a base preset (for this one, I used ‘rainbow stick’), you can then add what she calls postsets to amp up or tone down different elements of the base preset. Genius! Head over to {ONE WILLOW STUDIOS} and buy your own set to start enjoying the photographic ecstasy that is Lightroom Presets. *aaaaahhh bliss*

My recipe:

• ‘Rainbow stick’ plus…
• pop it
• edge
• lights
