  • In today's video I'm going to walk you through exactly how I use the KJ Preset Process in Adobe Lightroom. I'll demonstrate how this unique preset process can be applied to any image and any lighting scenario! I even demonstrate on some Sony A7III RAW files! (Sony photos used in the demo were shot by Meredith Sledge (www.meredithsledge.com/) using a Sony A7III. Thank you Meredith for letting me use your beautiful images!!)

    I am the sucker who has bought and downloaded so many presets to help me find my style. Your process really helped with understanding that there must be that foundation of the editing process first. Usually my first go to is the do the white balance, then correcting the colors...usually oranges, even after I have used the "premium presets". You helped me so much with just this short clip. Can't wait to apply your teachings to my next set of photos. Thanks Sensei!

    Just the intro of your preset pack has me sold
    I’ve done photography and film for over 10 (more filming) years and just recently decided to start doing it for myself and I’m just getting back into editing and building my own style
    Often I have found myself shooting from the hip with my editing and developing or buying presets
    Thanks 🙏

  • @malenky4057

    Very interesting approach. The point you make at 13:13 about not being able to save a preset to only affect one of the sliders in the HSL/Color tab, I think I have a workaround.
    Say you want to have a preset that simply desaturates greens to -45, go to a fully reset image and set the green saturation to -45, then create a new preset from that, checking only the 'color adjustments' box. Then right click that profile and click 'show in explorer' for windows (I presume show in finder for mac). There you will have your preset as an XML file, which can be opened in any text editor. You will see lines that say something like crsSaturationAdjustmentRed="0". All of them will be '=0' except for your -45 to greens, which will say crs:SaturationAdjustmentGreen="-45". Simple delete all the lines that have something ="0" and save the XML file and close it.
    Now you can test it in Lightroom, for example boost your yellows to 100 saturation and then apply your green desaturation preset. If you did it correctly, your yellow saturation boost will remain while your greens get desaturated by 45.

  • @kaytlyndempster4121
    @kaytlyndempster4121 Před 3 lety +7

    I have these and LOVE THEM, I do have a question though, once you find a tone profile you like for an image do you keep to that tone profile for the entire gallery or do you personally use different tone profiles depending on the image in the same gallery?

    • @KatelynJames
      @KatelynJames  Před 3 lety +1

      Normally yes but if the light changes significantly or the outfit change changes the colors a whole lot it may switch to peachy!

  • @jamesstovall2451
    @jamesstovall2451 Před rokem +2

    Do you shoot all of your images to almost perfect exposure so these presets work or do you shoot underexposed a little?

  • @jillgum552
    @jillgum552 Před 3 lety +2

    Hi Katelyn! I have a question about the tone profiles. Do you find that you do switch between the golden warm and peachy warm in one session (or even one location?) ever, and when you do, does it feel consistent enough to you? I like to switch between them but really worry that the overall change would be visible within the same session because there is a different feel to them. Do you find yourself doing this, and think it works ok? Thank you!!

    Hi katelyn absolutely love you content and your style.
    2 questions I want to ask..but before I do I have to say that this concept is a brilliant idea so we'll done for that..👏
    1st question is do these work on adobe camera raw.
    2nd how do these work for panasonic lumix.
    Thank you 😊

      We didn't test them in ACR, but we have students who say it does work. We have not tested them with Panasonic lumix.
