Before & After – Recovery with ‘Pop it Lots’

February 12, 2010 Posted in Editing & Tutorials, Lightroom, Textures, Actions & Presets

See why I love presets so much? I was messin’ with this shot of Gracie pre-oatmealface to see what I could do about the lens flare caused by the morning sun streaming through the window. What a lovely surprise to find that one click of Retro Candy’s ‘pop it lots’ and problem solved! ‘Pop it lots’ adds a really interesting s-curve and amps up the blacks.

    I love it when you share your goodies! Your daughter is beautiful. Your work is outstanding. But even better, you make it all seem attainable.

    Thank you so much Elizabeth and Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Elizabeth, anything would look great with that little face in the picture! You should make some actions/presets of your own and use Gracie’s photos to demonstrate them….you’d be a millionaire in no time!

    I am an aspiring photographer and I have learned everything by reading and DPS. I have not heard anyone ever mention retro candy presets.I am very interested. Thanks for the posts. Very easy to grasp the concepts. Thanks
