Get Takahiro Sakai’s preset and try out how it appears and makes differences when editing your pictures!
This collection includes 5 presets:
01 Nostalgic & Clear
It creates a fusion of the nostalgic atmosphere as if the picture was taken with a film camera, and the clear and sharp texture unique to digital photography. It’s suitable for portrait pictures since we have made an adjustment for skin tone and color. However, for sceneries, it generates a nostalgic taste highlighting vivid color with a bit of noise.
Since using this preset is apt to turn the color warmer, please adjust it afterwards depending how you favor it.
02 Cleary Cloudy
This preset id recommendable for the pictures being shoot in cloudy weather, since it makes the color clear and express the softness of the skin, which normally is difficult to portray under those conditions. It emphasis the contrast and makes the flat texture of the cloudy day pictures more attractive. It’s not only useful for cases like that but also effective for whitening the skin and balancing the light/shadow proportion.
03 Emerald Green
This preset marked by emerald green color helps you edit the picture with outstanding contrast releasing unique color and create a truly impressive one. Applying to portraits, it makes the skin tone and hair silky.
Lowering the exposure of the picture makes easier to express vivid color tone.
04 Emotional Sunset
It is a suitable one for editing sunset light more emotional and impressive. It adds fade effect and noise on your picture and express the “longing” and “lonesome” feeling unique to those situations. Adjusting WB into warmer color makes it reappear the setting sunlight’s tone.
05 Brilliant Light
This preset is useful for cases editing backlight photos impressively.
It fixes the volume of light and shadow which normally tends to be unbalanced because of the backlight, and creates contrast accentuating the light and toning the other parts. Please adjust the highlight and shadow by yourself depending what you want to express.
The effects caused by applying the preset differs a little depending on your Lightroom’s Profile Settings.
