Damien Symonds Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 This is the Photoshop solution, of course, but you should be able to adapt it to a raw preset fairly easily if desired. Download PSD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Burgy Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 This one really interests me. When you do creative edits like this, does skin just go out the window? I currently look at CMYK values as I do your Skin action to help me judge. When you use a "preset" or effect like this, do you just ignore those values? Also, if you were going to adjust this to an ACR preset, would you just mess in the Hue/Sat tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Burgy Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am looking to find some presets for my personal "non masterpiece" work (as you call it) to help speed things up. However, I can't get past the contrast to the skin in most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chablis Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Mary - I like what it does to the background colours - particularly the greens and maroon type colours. I don't like what it does to skin, so if I were to use this I would only do it to the background and the strong colours, not the skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Burgy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I am wondering if this could work on the pic I am currently working on. Is the PSD still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
