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.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
