It’s been a busy week, along with a bum hip and a stomach bug, but I managed to finish Just My Luxe Photog Freebie number 5 for you guys.

This freebie is a 10-in-1  3×3 Vintage Painterly Styled Luxe Sticker with a variety of color adjustment layers which are all editable to make pretty much an unlimited number of different color combos. I started you out with 9 (plus the original).  I decided to call it “Purrfect Christmas” for the vintage storybook line drawing of  a Momma Cat and her kittens included on the sticker. These free holiday stickers are great for Christmas gifts, closing envelopes or general Holiday Decor.  Fonts are not editable, but I have included the font name for you to download, install and use on your own stickers.  Font instructions are available on my facebook Wall.

Please remember to read terms included in zip file. Stickers are MillersLab Specs.  These were made in CS5, and I am unsure whether they are compatible with lower versions of Photoshop due to the adjustment layers.  If anything the original color/base sticker is still usable.

 

Here is the preview of the new photog freebie luxe 3×3 ornate vintage holiday stickers:

Just uploaded a new facebook freebie for photographers (or anyone with photoshop knowledge).  I am usually an admirer of everyone else’s templates because frankly, my A.D.D. and O.C.D. get in the way and I am never satisfied with my own, lol!

Well, I decided to get with the program and make a few and lo and behold, I liked them – who knew?  I have more – that are not quite finished, but I wanted to see what you all thought of this one first.

So go ahead to http://facebook.com/candidhamsphotography, (or click the image) click on ‘LIKE’ and visit the Photog Goodies Tab, where you can download your 4×8 holiday luxe card freebie.  Specs are for Miller’s Lab.  Please read terms included in zip file.

Today I am also releasing another brand new set of Lightroom Presets I decided to call Vintage SoftHues.  They add just a little something to your photos giving them that coveted, soft, nostalgic feel.  I developed them while processing a recent photo session for my husband’s family of them and our son on father’s day (which I will be posting a sneak peek of asap).  I always inevitably develop my own lightroom presets and settings when I work in lightroom.  In fact, I have sets for each of my photo sessions that are tailored to the photos in each session, but something was different about these — it wasn’t just a tweak or a brighten, I wound up making a few vintage-toned presets, and loved them so so much that I wound up going nuts and making a BUNCH — 45 presets PLUS 11 helper presets to go along with the set.  A few of the helper presets were made to help ‘rescue’ photos that might otherwise be tossed. You will find that some of the Vintage SoftHues are only slightly different, but sometimes that’s all it takes for the perfect setting — just a tiny tweak. :)

Regular price for these presets will be $35 -
but I am offering them to the first 20 customers for $20 – so Git em cheap before someone else beats ya to it! ;)

As with all lightroom presets — not every preset works for every photo and many will need an adjustment here or there, but I do think you will enjoy this set — I know I do.
(sorry about the lack of an easier-viewed slideshow – working on it. :)

I have been using Lightroom for quite a while – incidentally, I have been using Photoshop since version 2…but like with everything else, I tend to stay in the background, observing, learning etc.  I thought about offering my custom presets long ago, but either never got around to it or one hurdle or another jumped out in front of me.  But recently when I was processing my in-law’s photo session with my husband and son, I as I always do, began making lightroom presets geared toward the look I have come to love – the subtle vintage look.  Not to gaudy, not too little, just enough to give my photos some umph…er oomph…er however you spell that, :) …to get hat soft look I love and Vintage SoftHues were born.

What about the Vintage MonoSoftones? Well…Ya can’t have a color set without a matching black and white one, right? lol — that’s how Vintage MonoSoftones came about.

Mind you, I have an arsenal of my own photoshop actions and lightroom develop presets, local adjustment presets , textures — but I am going to start out with these two Lightroom Preset Sets, Vintage MonoSoftones and Vintage Softhues.

The Vintage MonoSoftones Lightroom Presets Set includes 25 monotone and black and white presets to give your photos an old world, vintage or antique look.

As with every Lightroom preset, not every preset works on every photo, but these are pretty versatile and should do well on most photos with a little tweaking here or there.

Along with the 25 vintage presets, I have included 6 other presets or tools for tweaking your photos quickly -
Auto tone, Add Grain, White Balance, Subtly Sharp/Reduce Noise and Add Vignettes (light and Dark).

Introductory Price for this set is only $15 for the FIRST 15 customers! – grab yours now and let your friends know!

you get 31 Lightroom develop presets to speed up your workflow for only$15 (reg price is $25)

If you like the presets, I would LOVE to hear about it and see what you do with them!
