Lightroom 5 - Presets (Vintage)

Badger8 · 23 Apr 2014

Good Evening Everyone.

I was wondering is anyones uses presets in Lightroom, or do people like to do things from scratch? I like the vintage look for wedding / Engagement shoots. Does anyone know of any good sites where I can purchase presets?

Just Google "Lightroom presets" and there are hundreds if not thousands out there free of charge. Ensure the reputation of the site though.

Have a look here - I think the Nicole Young set may be what you're after.

Thanks for the link Toni, the Nicole Young presets are pretty nice. Also downloaded some of the others and just installed the ones i thought i might like to try.

Much appreciated.

why not develop your own? Even if you use bought or free ones as a starting point you'll have a much better idea of how to do things in LR in the future?

I like the one willow presets - I use one called 'beauty' which I use on 90% of all my portraits before they go into PS.

When you say vintage what exactly are you looking for? As it seems to cover so many styles now.

Film look?
Early 1900's sepia?
Or just a style that isn't bright?

The example you've posted doesn't look 'vintage' if I'm honest, just stylised.
