Curves Presets for Lightroom

Curves Presets for Lightroom

Today I created a few curves presets to be used in lightroom: Curves.zip

To use them you just need to unzip the file into C:\Users<YOUR USERNAME> \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Curves and restart Lightroom.

Most of them can be used to give your pictures a special toning: The first 8 are S curves (or inverted S curves) based on the color chanels. The naming pattern means that the color in upper case letters is boosted in the highlights and reduced in the shadows. Here are some samples:

The base Image is:

At least there is one preset which is special. It’s called FindErrors and can be used to find errors like dust on the sensor or the lens:
