This version of Sean Archer Lightroom Presets is organized into the following six categories of presets:

A - RELIGHTING (6 Options + RESET)
B - STRUCTURE PUNCH (3 Options + RESET)
C - GAMMA PUNCH (4 Options + RESET)
D - SKIN CALIBRATION (4 Options + RESET)
E - SKIN TAN (4 Options + RESET)
F - COLOR TONES (20 Options + RESET)

For categories A-F, select 1 option and tweak as necessary. 

Each category has a RESET which removes the adjustments specific to each category without affecting other settings you may have added to the image.

Steps A1-A6 only guide you to use the effects in those categories. Clicking them will not produce or delete an effect.

 

Step 3 - Select A RELIGHT Option

• Click one of the six Relight options. Each one gives you a greater intensity of relighting.
• To remove a Relight setting after selecting it, click AA7 RELIGHT RESET

Step 4 - Click the Radial Gradient (R key)

• After you select a Light, click "R" - and make sure your curser is over the image
• Three Radial Gradients will appear over your image in the shape of a CLOCK
• You will move and resize these 3 Radial Gradients to affect key parts of your image
• If you select a different Relight setting after you have positioned the Radial Gradient, Lightroom will reset the Radial Gradient into the original positions and you will have to reposition them again

 Step 5 - Select Dot 12 (o’clock) Head

• This is the default position when the Preset is selected
• Your mission is to re-size and re-shape this Radial Gradient to highlight the key part of the subject’s head or more specifically, face
• For a more dramatic and natural effect, try to stay inside the head and not bleed into the background where it will appear as a halo
• Highlight the part of the face you want to bring forward

 Step 6 - Select Dot 3 (o’clock) Near Head

• Move this dot from the default position at 3 o’clock to a place next to the subject’s head
• Test this Radial Gradient on either side of your subject’s head to see which looks better
• Try moving and re-sizing the shape to keep it off the face
• This Radial Gradient acts like a new light source for the image

 Step 7 - Select Dot 6 (o’clock) Body

• Move this dot from the default position at 6 o’clock to a place over the subject’s body
• Re-size the shape and angle to isolate the body and try to keep it away from the background so it doesn’t add a “halo”

Step 8 - Select Structure Punch

• Go to the next set of presets called B Structure Punch - they affect detail and contrast
• You can roll your mouse over each one to preview how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove this setting after selecting it, click Structure Punch RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not effect your other presets

Step 9 - Select a Gamma Punch

• Go to the next set of presets called Gamma Punch
• You can roll your mouse over each one to preview how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove this setting after selecting it, click Gamma Punch RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not effect your other presets

Step 10 - Select a Skin Calibration

• Go to the next set of presets called Skin Calibration the affects the tone of the skin
• You can roll your mouse over each one to preview how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove this setting after selecting it, click Skin Calibration RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not effect your other presets

 

Step 11 - Select a Skin Tan

• Go to the next set of presets called Skin Tan
• You can roll your mouse over each one to preview how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove this setting after selecting it, click Skin Tan RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not effect your other presets

Step 12 - Select a Color Tone

• The next set of presets are called Color Tones. They are basically different color settings
• Roll your mouse over each one to preview how they look on your image
• Select the one that looks best with your image
• To remove this setting after selecting it, click Tone RESET
• You can change these at any time and they will not effect your other presets

 That’s it!
