There are a total of ten desktop presets, 9 colour preset and 1 black and white preset. Included are a couple variations as well as options for bright, soft, faded, etc.
The Dream Pack is inspired by vanilla skies, soft pastels and childlike wonder. It is light, bright and whimsical – like a dream. With creamy whites and soft shadows, these presets are meant to give a fine art feel to your work.
They have been created primarily for images with even light. The tones are on the cool side, inspired by pastels and bright whites. They are airy while bringing to life creamy skin and dreamy tones. They work especially well on images with lots of light, indoor work, ethereal work, etc. There is zero grain applied in this pack.
There are a total of six colour DESKTOP presets, with two unique variations of each preset.
The Vibrant pack is dark, moody and rich.
This Desktop pack is full of magenta magic. While it is the darkest of all my packs, it keeps the greens and oranges nicely saturated and bright, leaving you with a moody but rich image.
I highly recommend you shoot on the warmer side with this pack, or play around with the white balance (mostly warming it up) and exposure as needed.
There are a total of eight DESKTOP presets, 6 colour and 2 black and white options + a toolkit to help you edit more efficiently + a video tutorial on how I use these presets.
Glow is bold and punchy with loads of colour and contrast. They stay true to TVP tones and are both bright and moody, with a dash of my special sauce for skin tones.
This pack of DESKTOP presets includes a Toolkit to help you edit more efficiently and expedite your image processing. It includes things like exposure, white balance and vignetting. For the first time ever, I’ve also included a video tutorial on how I use these presets in Lightroom as well as a downloadable PDF. These tools will help you use the presets most effectively.
I honestly can’t pick a favourite from the pack – I have fallen completely in love with all of them and I hope you do too!
There are 15 DESKTOP presets in this pack including 4 black and white presets, making them completely useful for almost all shooting scenarios.
Gold is rich in colour, warm and vibrant with just the right amount of fade, making them completely useful for almost all shooting scenarios. This pack is the fan favourite and what I call, “Old Faithful”.
They are easy to use and 9/10 times will only require adjustments in exposure, shadows and white balance to suit your image and taste. As you can tell from my “before” images, I prefer warm images straight out of the camera so I barely adjust the white balance, but if you shoot cooler/warmer than I do, playing around with it will fix 90% of any colour issues. TVP Gold 2 is one of my favourite and most used presets to date! I have fallen completely in love with this Desktop pack and I hope you do too!
This Desktop pack includes over 12 colour presets, 2 black & white presets, along with 5 Mobile presets. It is uniquely segmented to help you know exactly what to expect from each preset.
Poet is rich and moody and favours browns and warmth. This pack is inspired by the 70’s and all things avant garde.
This Desktop pack is uniquely segmented to help you know exactly what to expect from each preset. With over 14 presets, this pack is made to suit nearly any occasion, making it my versatile pack yet.
A 10 page PDF is included to show you how to get the most out of the Poet Pack. It goes over what each segment is good for and the main ways I modify my image after I apply a preset. There is also a PDF instruction guide on how to install your mobile presets.
The Crush pack is my new favourite pack of presets to play with. Expect crushed highlights (thus the pack name) as well as a TON of beautiful grain. If you’re not a grain person, you can adjust it according to your preference using the grain sliders in LR. Since creating these, I have been using them on 90% of my work. You can tweak them to suit your image using most of the basic sliders in Lightroom. I find that minor tweaking to the temperature, tint, exposure, shadows slider and shadows tint is all I need in order to achieve my desired effect after applying these presets.
The zip comes with a total of 4 presets, all similar with slight adjustments.
If your photo is overexposed or exposed brightly then adjust your exposure down more than you usually would to achieve your desired effect.
Basesets comes loaded with two hours of impactful workshop videos plus two powerful Shortstache presets (Clean and Matte), modifiers and custom tools. Everything is here to deliver the groundwork for building your own potential aesthetic. This is the base for your workflow. The foundation for your creativity.
• Looking to finally build a unique aesthetic for yourself? • Want to understand how to actually manipulate presets? • Tired of guessing your way through editing? • Don’t know anything about Lightroom? • Trying to understand more how colors work with each other?
The Basesets Workshop is key to all of the above and breaks each element down to its core. Painstakingly planned out, this workshop is built for the beginner and expert alike with detailed explanations and advice.
The Clean Baseset offers a cinematic mood that deepens the undertone of the photo while shifting the colors to a more stylistic one. The black and whites are a bit more punched and sharp delivering a cleaner feel to the image. Clean is beautiful and offers flexibility to adjust and freestyle how you want this Baseset to work for you in the future.
The Matte Baseset offers a more flattened and deepened cinematic mood that also alters the undertones of the image by flattening it out. It too has a stylistic approach to the colors and mood. Similar to the Clean Baseset, this one proves to be a bit softer in the overall look rather than the hard clean aesthetic.
Baseset Modifiers were carefully built to provide shortcuts to get the desired look you’re going for. Whether it’s quickly altering the overall temperature of the image, to slightly shifting hues within the shadows / highlights, these modifiers allow you to “modify” the Basesets within themselves and save time in your editing.
Basesets Tools were built to save time and add that something extra to your images. Whether it’s adding that custom shortstache grain or leveling out your image, these are clutch. You can quickly turn them on and off with ease. Very useful!
It’s essential to understand the tools, sliders, graphs, etc. of Lightroom to then understand exactly what “presets” even are. With the visual walkthrough and steps to using these presets, each creative will have a better understanding of what they already know or is new to them completely. This is right step in the direction in building out your cinematic approach to further your work.
The Subtle Art of the Sauce is a color grading mini-course on how I apply the 5 LUTS I created for your film needs.
From lifestyle scenes, weddings, drone footage, and everything else in between, these LUTS have you covered. They were built out to take your color game to the next level with ease. Time to dive in and mix it up!
This is for anyone and everyone, but it helps to have some familiarity with both Premiere Pro and/or Davinci Resolve. The mini-course isn’t a full breakdown on video editing, but it offers a quick guide to getting your footage corrected and then color graded with the sauce. I walk you through color correction with the included conversion LUTS for those filming in a flat color profile such as SLOG-2, SLOG-3, etc. If you didn’t film in a flat color profile, not to worry, you can just use the stylistic LUTS straight over your footage. There will also be a translated Powergrade developed in Davinci Resolve for those more well versed in that program.
This pack is a nod to the past and present. It is the perfect blend between an older film-style aesthetic and a newer cinematic softness, bringing story to your photos. Both presets are versatile and allow you to edit to your liking while keeping that distinctive style it gives. Whether you’d like to fine-tune your color foundation or transition to black and white, these presets will propel your work into a developed style.
• Experienced at editing but still want to take it up a notch? • Lost or don’t have a certain look in mind but want to dial it in? • You have the knowledge of colors but want it cohesively come together? • Got a love for the film look but not sure how to get there?
Past and Present offers a dialed-in cinematic look perfect for your editing. The color theory is well thought out within Silky allowing you to achieve a smooth and softer finish to the overall essence of the image. Nostalgic delivers range to your black and whites. Enjoy a cleaner aesthetic or dive into the grainier side for the past look of film.
The Silky preset delivers a softer cinematic look to bring that emotion out in your photos. A deeper color tone with a hint of mood sums up this overall vibe. You’ll have a wide range of modifiers to quickly elevate your photos to the desired look while keeping a consistent tone. Each of the modifiers has been developed to enhance your photos with a quick click.
Modifiers: The Cool Down, The Warm Up, Punch it, Tone Shadow, Silk Highlights.
The Nostalgic preset gives off the very essence of a film shot with the versatility of a clean or grainy look. This black and white pulls you into a past aesthetic while keeping that modern-day touch. Included are modifiers designed to give you specific control to easily tune your photos. Stay as clean as you wish or play with the fade/grain amount to your liking. Though the color is now greyscaled, the overall undertone is true to the Shortstache aesthetic with a deeper s-curve.
Modifiers: Lift It, Shade It, Soften
Past and Present Modifiers were developed to enhance your photos with a quick click giving you specific control to easily tune your photos. Whether it’s warming an image up or cooling it down or softening it, these modifiers allow you to “modify” the Past and Preset and save time on your editing.
Shortstache Tools were built to save time and add that something extra to your images. Whether it’s adding that custom shortstache grain or leveling out your image, these are clutch. You can quickly turn them on and off with ease. Very useful!
This pack is tailored to thrive within warmer scenes (red), neutral and green scenes (green) and finally cooler scenes (blue). Hence the name RGB. These presets offer flexibility and multi-functionality and give that deep cinematic tonal range while also stylizing your photos.
• Experienced at editing but still want to take it up a notch? • Lost or don’t have a certain look in mind but want to dial it in? • You have the knowledge of colors but want it cohesively come together? • Got a love for the film look but not sure how to get there?
Each group of presets and modified presets allow you a shortcut to faster editing and dialing in what your final look is. These looks have been carefully crafted to be manipulated and adjusted to your liking, and these Shortstache™ tones will keep you one step ahead.
The Coolith presets are rich with color and undertone, but can enhance your blues, manipulate them, or tone them down completely. These offer a wide range of usage and can be applied to any image. Doesn’t matter if it’s a “cool” image, these presets will dial it in and not limit you whatsoever!
The Greenith presets stand as a neutral ground between the other two in this pack. Wide range of usage and overall a strong cinematic deep tone. These presets specialize in manipulating the greens to tone them up, down, or shift in the overall hue. Such a quick fix to dial in greens!
The Warmith presets are designed to have a little more style. Rich hues and warmer undertones give off the balance of warm and cold. These offer a more vintage yet modern sleek look to enhance your images. Wide range of usage especially in neutral portraits.
