THE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 5 BOOK 349
Figure 4.135 You can use the
contextual menu to import new
presets. If you have been sent a Develop
preset or have just downloaded one,
use the contextual menu shown here to
select Import and then locate the preset
(or presets) you wish to add. You can
also use the above contextual menu to
add a new folder to the Presets list.
Lightroom provides you with several preset folders containing some presets to
get you started. By default, new presets are automatically placed in a folder called
User Presets. But if you prefer, you can organize your presets into different folder
groupings. For example, in Figure 4.135 I added a number of preset folders that
always appear listed in alphabetical order in the Presets panel. To add a new
folder to the Presets list, right-click anywhere inside the Presets folder to open
a contextual menu like the one shown in Figure 4.135, and choose New Folder,
which opens a New Folder dialog. Give the folder a name and it will appear added
to the Presets list. You can now organize your presets by dragging them into the
folders that you have just created.
Auto Tone preset adjustments
The Auto Tone option is potentially useful for those times when you want to
include an Auto Tone adjustment as part of a preset. In some instances this might
be considered useful, because you can get Lightroom to combine an auto correc-
tion in combination with other types of Develop adjustments. On the other hand,
because it can lead to different tone settings being applied to each image, this
might not always produce the results you were after (even though the Auto Tone
logic has continually been improved in Lightroom). So just be aware of this when
you include Auto Tone in a saved Develop preset setting; the results you get may
sometimes be unpredictable.
The art of creating Develop presets
Lightroom Develop presets have proved incredibly popular. Lots of Lightroom
users have gotten into sharing their preset creations. While it is possible to encap-
sulate a complete Develop module look in a single preset, it seems to me that the
best way to use Develop presets is to break them down into smaller chunks. In
my experience the trick is to save as few settings as possible when you create a
new one. What we often see are Develop presets where the creator checks too
many boxes and ends up with a preset that adjusts not just the settings it needs
to adjust, but other settings, too. In many cases it is not always obvious which
settings a Develop setting is meant to be altering, and applying the preset may
overwrite settings that it shouldn’t. Or, the creator includes White Balance or
Exposure settings that may have been relevant for the pictures the creator used
to test the develop setting with, but are not necessarily suited for other people’s
photographs (in the following section I have provided a quick guide on how to
create neatly trimmed develop presets). More important, the new Process 2012
has had a significant impact on Develop preset compatibility. However, if you apply
a legacy preset to a Process 2012 image, the absence of a process version tag
should mean such settings still translate okay to a Process 2012 image (except for
those settings that are specific to Process 2003/2010, such as Fill Light). In Figure
4.134, where the Process Version box has been deliberately unchecked there is a
reminder that you should include the process version when saving new settings.
NOTE
If the Process Version box is checked
when you save a preset, the process
version is included when applying the
preset to other images. If the photos
you apply a preset to share the same
process version, no conversion will
take place, but if they don’t share the
same process version they will have
to be converted.
If the Process Version box isn’t
checked when you create a preset
things become more unpredictable.
In this situation the process version
will not be referenced when applying
the preset. Therefore, if you apply a
Process 2003 preset to a Process 2012
image, settings such as Recovery
or Fill Light won’t be translated.
Similarly, if you apply a Process 2012
preset to a Process 2003/2010 photo,
settings like Highlights and Shadows
won’t be recognized either.
