Black & White Lightroom Presets for Landscape & Travel Photography
Turn your photographs into dramatic black and white images with deep and rich blacks or a classic faded look.
Have you ever tried black and white editing in Lightroom and then immediately went back to color because it looked kind of boring?
There's good news: It is not your fault! Without fine-tuning and the appropriate expertise, Lightroom creates very dull black and white photos. And this is where my presets come in: With this product I have created a professional workflow that allows you to achieve appealing black and white images with deep rich blacks in just a few clicks.

Compatible with Lightroom Desktop and Mobile (DNG presets included)
All Lightroom presets are included in XMP, lrtemplate and DNG format to ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility across platforms and devices. → See also: Installation instructions and notes for mobile presets

These are not your average 'one-click presets'.
This product is designed as a structured workflow and consists of six modules and 42 presets. This gives you the freedom to individually shape the final image with a selection of adjustment presets and develop a repeatable personal style in the process. A structured workflow frees you from the worries of where to start and what to do next.
There are five black and white presets for a rich and saturated look, another five for a more dramatic black and white edit and another five presets for a classic faded look.
1. Black & white looks (15 presets): Standard / Dramatic / Faded
2. Vignetting (5 presets)
3. Split toning (10 presets)
4. Grain (4 presets)
5. Noise reduction (4 presets)
6. Sharpening (4 presets)
All Lightroom presets are highly universal and work with a wide variety of images and camera models. This collection clearly follows the "quality over quantity" principle, and the presets have been extensively tested on a large number of images from different camera models.
