How to use LIGHTROOM PRESETS in PHOTOSHOP

 

How to Use Lightroom Presets in Photoshop Good day Cafe crew. It's Colin Smith here from Photoshop Cafe and this week I'm going to show you how to do something super useful. I'm going to show you how to take your Lightroom Presets and be able to use them inside of Photoshop. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start with an image here that I shot recently ofLina and I'm just going to apply an effect. So let's just go to a split tone and we'll create some kind of a vintage effect to it pretty quickly. So the way to do that is we're just going to pull up our saturation and our highlights. We can see our colors. Let's go to a nice kind of golden color that looks good and let's push up our saturation in the shadows, maybe go for a blue. Oh, that's kind of nice, so bluet green. And now we just play around with the saturation to decide how much of that shadow do we want to put in and how much of that highlight effect do we want, and then we can push the balance to push it more bias towards the blue greens or more towards the golden colors. Let's grab that one there. I kind of like that. It's pretty neat so we're going to set it as a preset and we're just going to go overto the preset panel here and just click plus and we'll call this one-- let's call it flamage. Okay, there we go. I just made that up so it's glamorous vintage so we'll call it flamage and then we're justgoing to create it. So what we've done is we've just basically created a preset on top of this. So to bring it into Photoshop, what we're going to do is we're going to right-click and we're going to choose Edit In, but don't edit in Photoshop. Go down to Open as a Smart Object. Now what it's going to do is it's going to launch Photoshop and it's going to bring thatin as a smart object. Now that's important because that keeps all of our adjustments from Light room in there. So if we double click, it will open up Camera Raw and then once we're in Camera Raw, wecan go down to our Presets right there. You see those ones?And then we're going to click on the plus and it's going to snatch all the settings,and we'll just call it glamtage once again and we'll click OK and we're done. So what it's done is it has actually taken all those settings that we had in Lightproof has applied them here inside of Photoshop. So let me just close this and let's apply it to a photograph. So let's open a photo right here. So there's a photo and let's see what we can do. All we need to do now to apply these presets is go to the Filter. We're going to go into Camera Raw, and then, under Camera Raw we can jump over here backto the Presets panel and look at this. There's our flamage, apply it, boom; we get those settings right there and, of course,you know we've got other ones that we could have applied. There's a cool tone one that I did earlier on, you know, there's a little DGI one and different things like that. Now if you get it a little hot, you just go over here and you can just pull down yourexposure because no two photographs are the same so you may need to tweak them a littlebit, maybe just click okay and you can apply those in one click. As you can see there, all those presets can easily be copied here into Photoshop.
