I'm trying something new with my processing. I saw Adobe had Lightroom 3 Beta available as a free download. My family went to the Pumpkin farm today and this is what I came up with. LR is very easy to get used to, I enjoyed the different processing style choices.

C&C is always welcomed.

I like these a lot! I have never used Lightroom. Is this a one-touch color process? What else did you do to these?

Thanks guys and Welcome to the Forum!

In LR I started with a preset called Creative - Aged Photo, after that I tweaked to my liking. For this particular process LR really boosts the exposure and brightness, so I pull the levels down and then adjust the vibrancy, saturation, clarity, sharpness and add a bit of vignette.

Ravestephen- You can download and install LR beta for free and use all of the features. I was excited to try it out.

Thanks. I am downloading now. I am excited to try it.

Could you post one or two of the originals? I am curious to see what the colors went from!

Thanks!

That's an awesome start. Looks like you figured it out pretty quickly. Keep playing, it's taken me a long time and I still have a ton to learn. This forum has helped me a ton.

Try this thread for LR tips and tricks.
