» Wednesday Newsflash

 It is once again Wednesday and this time it is before a long weekend here in Sweden so I have the entire week off form school at least. There is no time off for blogging (it’s fun) or from web design work. I’m also brought in to work in the camera store on Friday and Saturday. Makes for a pretty good long weekend.

• The guys over at Layers Magazine has got a new issue out today. It’s looking pretty cool and has got some really nice articles in it! If you are not a subscriber, definitely go to the Layers Magazine website and check it all out.
   
• A little self-pimping. XLD Studios has revealed a brand new version of their website and client center which are now all fully integrated into the same look and feel. It’s been a lot of hard work on it and there are still a few more goodies to come online for the big hosting anniversary coming later this month on XLD Studios where there’ll be specials the whole month, starting tomorrow!
   
• If you are a Firefox user and wants to be able to view EXIF data for photos on the web, then check this little plugin out. It is called Firefox exIF and once installed you’ll be able to view EXIF data on photos right in the browser, it’s pretty swell.

Also do check out the post before this with a cool old bleached preset, for free. You’ll be seeing about a new preset per week here on the blog and later collected in a resource center. I’ll be spreading the presets over ACR and Lightroom and sometimes perhaps release for booth.

» ACR Preset: The Old Bleached

 

Here is a little cool newly created Adobe Camera Raw preset. We have a ton floating around for Lightroom so I figured I’d create a few for camera raw, because it is just that nice to have presets.

It is called "The Old Bleached" just because what it will do (as you see on the preview up top) is bleach out the photo a bit as well as giving it a higher contrast and shift the tint to a little more yellow look. It’s a little all-in-one.

To install it, open any photo inside of Adobe Camera Raw. Click the little flyout icon in the sidebar at the right of the panel name and in it, choose Load Settings and load the .xmp file that you’ve downloaded into there. You can also copy the downloaded files to the Settings folder, on a mac located here:

Users > [username] > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Camera Raw > Settings
