Bleached Bronze for Lightroom Coming Soon

Bleached Bronze for Lightroom Coming Soon

One of the very first presets that I made when I first started selling presets for Aperture was called "Bleached Bronze". To be honest, I can't really remember how it came about, but I think it was an accidental discovery. I had originally been going for a "bleached bypass" look and instead came up with something that had rich browns and metallic looks, so I called it bleached bronze. It's the one set of presets that I haven't ported to Lightroom since I stopped selling them for Aperture, and it's the one set that I keep getting requests for. Well, I'm happy to announce that it's almost here!

As well as a "Bronze" look, the set also contains "Bleached Mould" which was part of the original Aperture version, and is more of a green look. The Lightroom version has some new looks too, including a blue tinted version, and some faded versions.

I've actually been working on this for ages, but I could never get it quite right. However recent;y I've put in a renewed effort and after a lot of tweaking and massaging of sliders, I've finally got it looking more or less like the Aperture ones did. The one thing that really helped was the de-haze slider in the newest version of Lightroom, so unfortunately these will be Lightroom CC/Lightroom 6.1 only. Anyway, I'm putting the finishing touches to the documentation and I hope to have them up for sale in the next few days, so stay tuned. In the mean time, here are some examples of Bleached Bronze in use.
