CEDAR LIGHTROOM PRESETS

Watch the video about these presets here: CEDAR Lightroom Develop Presets were obsessively created over a year of finding a vintage color palette that would function well on portraits, landscape and street photography. My guideline was to construct a hybrid between early Agfa and Kodak color film. Shifting and muting the greens, shifting blues slightly toward teal, shifting yellows gently toward orange and creating contrast curves to match the look and feel of each preset. Each of the 8 presets, labeled CEDAR A-H, brings a somewhat similar mood with slightly different color grading and curves. I included examples for all presets with portrait and landscape, making sure to include the sky, trees and grass so you can get a good idea of what to expect. All before images are flat RAW files converted to Adobe Color JPEG. If you happen to edit jpeg, you will have to do a few adjustments to the overall brightness and saturation. If you have seen any of my photos on instagram @joshzaring or my cinematic vlogs in the past few months, you can see the evolution of these presets. They will also be available for video very soon. For fun and awesomeness, tag me at instagram.com/joshzaring with images processed with these presets.
