So my friend has ask me how to fake cross processing in lightroom….given I had to google cross processing, so I think it was pretty safe to say that I am not a master in the matter. Perhaps something is better when you actually look at the develop panel…

Download all 4 cross processing preset here

Oh, and for those who have an issue with me using FREE file sharing site to let you download these FREE presets just because you have to wait 10 seconds…you know where to stick it…and please visit SOME OTHER site that ask for your money….I am not doing this for the money..fame may be, but definitely not wishing to gain money…so please FORGIVE me for not PAYING for file sharing just so you don’t have to wait….sorry I wasted your 10seconds, but in retrospect, understand that I had to spend a lot more than that of my time to adjust, export and post these for others to download….move along now.

Peace offering ~ ass kicked retro lightroom preset Tuesday, Oct 6 2009

I am up to my knees with the wedding photo editing, luckily with the wedding season almost winding down I am taking a bit of break from editing all the happy smiley photos.

So, judging from how popular the Retro preset are (4000+ download!),  I venture out a bit and give you the ass kicked retro and amp up retro.

The amp up retro are use for underexposed shoot, and the ass kicked retro turn down some of the color intensity .

B&W baby beauty & Pink new skin Monday, Jul 6 2009

The heat wave arrive in Vancouver during the weekend, and thus I can finally do naked baby beauty shoot. I had been waiting FOREVER, since when Aidan was born, it was in the dead of winter, and then by summer time, the 7months old was pretty oppose in nakedness..

These were shot with a navy blue blanket lying on the day bed..with me hovering on top of Don…
Speedlite place on CL. Window light as fill.

I was trying to copy the concept from the photos of No.1 fan Using a hard light (speedlite with snoots on one side) to get a really sudden transition area of the baby’s hand; yet use a huge and soft light source (window light) to light his face.

Donovan Thursday, Jun 4 2009

Don 2 weeks-23-Edit, originally uploaded by Vivian Chung Photography (KJmeow).

I had mostly use my skin tone only preset for baby Don’s photo…I just like the effect, and hey my kid has a dark yellow skin tone..(olive-ish yellow) and with my pasty white skin (blood lost and sleepless night) it seem to be the only thing that I can do to balance the two out…

I did change the tone curve and saturation up a bit from the “MB photobooth skin tone only” preset, but the merit are the same. Bare in mind that you will have to work around the WB and the hue in HSL for each different situation. I had use bounce flash with these raw, but because the blind that I bounced it on had a light cream color, the WB was not too out of wack.

Introducing…… Sunday, May 24 2009

Don 3 days old-1, originally uploaded by Vivian Chung Photography (KJmeow).

He came out early!! Guess he can’t wait for the planned c-section date. Actually he is about 2 weeks earlier than his due date…

We are still pretty tired but excited. Aidan kept telling me that ..er…baby is crying..may be we should go check?

With this exciting addition, please note that I might not be able to keep the usual response time with emails. I will try my hardest to reply but it may take up to a few days~

A very tired Vivian.

RS party animal & Retro normal preset Wednesday, May 13 2009

RS wedding-0279-Edit, originally uploaded by Vivian Chung Photography (KJmeow).

I usually will like to develop a couple of different special toning effect for each wedding, because I believe each couple has different taste, so like B&W, some like color manipulation, some like Sepia.

Tailor to Randi’s taste, I re-develop the party animal and the retro normal presets so they will work really great for her wedding photos. These version are more tame…and while it still leak through some of the red, they are not as pronounce.

You can download the preset here : RS party animal & Retro preset

Rings as eyes, waiting for a kiss Wednesday, May 6 2009

Rings as eyes, waiting for a kiss, originally uploaded by Vivian Chung Photography (KJmeow).

I am NUTS about ring shot. As with Michelle and Brads’ wedding, the first batch of photos that I edit will always be lensbabies because I want to see how cool they are…and then it will always be the wedding bands shots.
Take this photos as an example, I didn’t plan it when I was shooting but I was trying to do something a bit different other than sticking both bands into the rose bud, but somehow I like this composition. It’s like a red princess with pearl crown, pouting out her lips, awaiting for a kiss.

So I have a group of presets for download: halogen lighting as available light.You can download the zip here, it will contain 2 for still life, and 1 for portrait.
