I will be on vacation until Monday, July 7. Any orders received in the next few days will be filled then. Thank you!

I went hunting for new subject to photograph tonight. My daughters are sick and my client work, while fun and rewarding, doesn’t always feed my need to create. And since my own computer is down, I’ve been neglecting my photography since my husband needs his laptop for school. But I digress. . . .

I was planning on just snapping a few photos of some pretty flowers, wandering around a local park and just generally enjoying the spring, the colors, the forms. But as I took photo after photo, I started noticing a bit more–lines. The curve of a bough reaching toward a solitary bud. The strong, upright angles of the daffodil. The flowing, weeping blossoms of a gorgeous tree. These were all edited with my Lightroom Presets (soon to be available for Adobe Camera Raw!). . . . Enjoy.

Both the Color and Monotone Lightroom Presets are now for sale. Each set contains 12 distinct color or monotone treatments as well as an adjustable vignette that can be applied with any of the other presets to create a broad range of photo treatments.

The color presets can also be seen larger here. (double click to see the large version.

The monotone presets can be seen larger, as well. 

Each set sells for only $15 or in combination for $25. I am constantly making updates to the sets, as well, and adding new presets, so any new additions will be emailed to buyers within 30 days of purchase.

The PbJ Designs Lightroom presets are designed to stand alone or work beautifully with the Tea Stains and Not-so-Adult Beverages action sets. For samples and ideas, please visit our album at http://www.photographybyjaniece.com/pbjpresets/.

For those who purchase, please check back on this blog for news of updates to the presets. 

 

Just as a little teaser before I release the presets tomorrow, I’ve uploaded a preset sampler to share with you. The sampler includes two presets each from my Color and Monotone sets.

You can download the presets here. Just a reminder, these are Adobe Lightroom presets for processing images. They will not work in Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, or Adobe Camera Raw. I’m working on getting them transferred into ACR presets, as well, but I do not have that capability right now.

If you like what you see, please share your work in our Flickr Group. Thank you! 

Just one image to share today, processed with my "contrasty warm and cool" (that’s the technical name, thankyouverymuch) preset.

I’m in the final stages of beta testing on these presets, they’ll be announced with a contest over in my PbJ Designs Flickr group, so check it out! 

My new Lightroom Presets are almost ready to roll out! Heehee, and of course that means I may need a few people to test them out for me. I’m looking for people who already know a bit about Lightroom and how it works and are willing to give me feedback on the application of these presets. Just a few examples:

using "Soda Punch" and "Vignette" presets from my PbJ Color line

using "deep strawberry" from my Monotones line

"strawberry fizz" + "vignette"

"deep chocolate" + "vignette"

The cool thing about each of these sets is that they include numerous color or monotone treatments and a separate vignette preset that you can apply to any of them. Makes it fun to play! Let me know if you’d like to test some out. Email me at photographybyjaniece@gmail.com for more info.

And since it’s been a while since the freebie train visited this station, go here to download the frame I used below!

I’ve spent the last several weeks working on my new Lightroom presets. I’m not quite ready to go public with them yet, but this blog has been a bit neglected lately, so it’s time for another freebie!

The sloppy borders have been a hot item, so I thought I’d design another border for you. I was always looking for good squares before I started designing my own, so I hope you enjoy this one!

Download the frame here and enjoy! It’s sized for 8x8 squares at 300dpi, making it super easy for you to use and play with! No derivative works, please.

Remember that the introductory rates on all our products end this Friday, the 15th, so take advantage of those prices now! I’ll be taking down some items and offering a few new things (hint, hint) after that, so if you’ve got your eye on any of our products, now is the time to buy!

 

All three free sets of borders have been claimed! Congrats Melissa, Mandy, and Jamie!

 

I’ve been working on these borders for weeks! Whew, I’m SO excited to share them with all of you.

You can view a larger version or visit my private set in order to see these a bit better.

Price for the sloppy borders is $20. Use is limited to personal and professional use by you for your  portrait photography business. If you wish to use these borders in templates or other photoshop designs that you wish to sell as templates, please contact me to discuss licesing options.

Thank you to Sarah Wheeler for submitting the following review of the PbJ Designs action sets, Tea Stains and Not-so-Adult Beverages.

    "I really loved all of the options that you have with them. One of the best things was how easy these were to tweak. The black and white actions are also really great. It was wonderful to see how much variety they give you. Best of luck!"

She also shared a few examples with us.
