One Willow’s Gorgeous New Presets …

I wrote a post a while back for iHeartFaces about how presets designed optimally for RAW can still be used for jpg editing.  In that post I showed my SOOC image + the edited RAW image + the edited JPG image side by side, to show how the presets could be tweaked to make the jpg look just like the RAW.  You can find that post here. 

Today I’ll just show before and after jpg comparisons, with “recipes” using One Willow’s gorgeous new Fairytale presets.

Recipe:  exposure –.48, presets: Royal + Burn + Clarify  (exposure was my only manual tweak)

Recipe:  exposure –.38, Country Road preset, drop contrast to 25

Recipe:  exposure –.48, presets:  Pink Princess + Clarify

Recipe:  presets: Beloved + Darken + Burn Soft (no manual tweaks)

Recipe:  exposure –.67, presets: Vintage Lace + Burn Soft

In my experience, for RAW specific presets, I’ve found that I usually need to adjust Bright & Contrast (usually turning them back to 0, or at least lessening each), perhaps lower Clarity, and sometimes undo the “strength” of the tone curve.  If it’s a preset that I use lots and lots, I will save my regular jpg adjustments, making a new preset and calling it the “jpg version”.
