Making a Rich Black and White Preset in Lightroom 3 from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

In a previous Lightroom Podcast, I talked about making great black and white images in Lightroom 3. Now, you need to make a great black and white preset in Lightroom, so you will never again have to touch all those sliders. In this follow up video, you will learn to make a intelligently designed preset to add a rich black and white effect to any image at the touch of a button.

If you are a photographer, take note of the Pictage User Conference in New Orleans.  I’m going to be speaking there on Wednesday, November 4th.  This is going to be a great conference, but it is going to sell out.  If you want to come, you best get online and sign up now!

Also, I will be doing a Lightroom Workflow Workshop on Monday the 2nd of November, so come a day early and learn how to turn your workflow around!  Sign up now for both Partner Conference and for my Lightroom Workflow Workshop now.  Seats are going to sell out fast!

I can’t wait to see you all there.
