Okay, so my first New Year's Resolution is to post more to my blog. Honestly, I need to schedule it on my calendar, haha.

Second New Year's Resolution is to create more products for Flourish Emporium. To that end, I've been working feverishly on several items. One is a set of proofing presets for Lightroom and ACR. This are presets that will allow you to quickly proof a session in LR (primarily) but can be used in ACR too. I do all my proofing in LR and this is a collection of the presets that I use on every session that I proof.

Along with the proofing presets, I also have created a little set of sunflares for Lightroom and ACR. These are just little sunflare presets that you can add to a photo to get an instant burst of sunlight from the edge of the photo.

So here are some before and afters using the proofing presets and sunflare presets. No PS work here . . . . all these edits were done in LR using just the presets and no other adjustments. And those of you who have worked with presets know how fast theyare to work with. These edits took about 10 seconds each to do. I love these sets and anticipate having them ready for purchase in the next week or so.

In addition to these presets, I'm also working on a new action set I'm currently calling Ethereal . . . . . think soft, light tones . . . . . it's going to be so yummy!

Awesome! I can hardly wait. Are you going to be offering any more discounts on your workshop in a box? I have too many things on my Nichole V. wish list. Now I'm adding your Ethereal action set to it!--Can't wait!

Nichole,
so do the new sunflare presets only work in Lightroom or do they work in ACR? Do you have a set coming for ACR?
