It’s Good For You {Lightroom Preset} & a Photoshop Frame

Filed Under: Freebies, Photography

Ashley has been inspiring me to try and use Lightroom more. I used to use it till I came across Elements. Then upgraded to CS5. Well I decided to give Lightroom another try and I made my own Clean Preset called “It’s Good For You” {Ashley helped with the name}. I also made a Photo Frame to use in any Photoshop Program. It has a drop shadow  that you can turn off if you want and a place where you can add words. It has a box to do a clipping mask. Enjoy them both. Send me a link to your post if you decide to use them. I would love to see what you come up with.

All I did to this photo was open it up in Lightroom 2 and ran my new  preset. Then I opened it in CS5 cropped the photo, then re-sized and sharpened for the web.  Then I just added it to my new frame and added the Happy Birthday writing.

    i know NOTHING about lightroom. is it something you use in addition to CS5, & why?
    • NapTime MomTog says

      August 18, 2011 at 7:21 pm

      Thanks Amy. Some things are easier in lightroom. Like editing multiple photos. But it is definitely different. Takes so getting used to.
