I’m starting to experiment with the new Totally Rad Actions or I guess presets for Lightroom. Up to this point almost all my black and white and other effects were done using TRA1 and 2 for Photoshop. I love these tools I use them constantly. I’ve had people ask me how I get some of the effects on my images, don’t tell anyone about my secret. Lightroom is much different and in some ways limited software compared to Photoshop, it’s not something easy to explain here. But the TRA for Lightroom has some really great settings that I think may let me do a lot of things I used to go into Photoshop for and this would speed up my workflow a ton. It’s funny I’ve been using Lightroom since it came out, I never once used the Graduated Filter tool until now, I never really made much use of the Adjustment Brush tool because I did all local adjustments in Photoshop. I might start to change that at least somewhat now with these new presets. Anyway, below are two images. The first was done in Lightroom only, and the second in Photoshop. They are both nice effects, I would appreciate comments on which one you prefer.
