So I did it (hopefully)! My first official set of presets that work in LR1 and LR2 and Photoshop ACR, CoffeeShop B&W CoffeeBar. And PSE users, I did not forget about you! I found a way for you to use these presets in your PSE6 or PSE7 ACR "lite" program with a nifty workaround. Yes, you too can use CoffeeShop presets and I will show you how. This actually "unlocks" parts of your ACR that you can't use in PSE.CoffeeShop B&W CoffeeBar is a set of 3 B&W presets , a classic, vanilla and mocha B&W. These are all higher contrast B&W's and I will be coming out with a high key set later. Remember, once you run these presets on your image, you can tweak them to taste. For complete instructions on how to load these presets into your PC, please check out this link. And if you have any questions please post them at the CoffeeShop Flickr Group.
Here is a sample of the Mocha Latte B&W.If you have Photoshop ACR or LR, please download the presets HERE or HERE. This set will not work in PSE.
If you have PSE 6 or 7, please download the image "presets" HERE or HERE (file size corrected, now this is a small 2 mg file).
These are just gorgeous! I can't wait to try them. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much all of these great works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your actions, I'm a very beginner but they are so simple to use!
THANKS!!!!!!!!
Tried to use them in PSE7 and it wouldn't work. Thanks though. Love your site.
ReplyDeleteI tried it in PSE7 and it worked! Love it!
ReplyDelete*open .dng file using Photoshop elements. (Rick Click on file>open with>Choose from List>PhotoShop Elements.)
*Open image into Editor
*Open organizer and edit .RAW image
*ACR will open.
*Under setting go to "previous converstion".
*and edit from there.
LOVE IT!!!!!!
these are fabulous! can't wait to get them in & use them!!
ReplyDeletethanks so much!
Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteHmm.....I tried using these in PSE7 too. Wouldn't work for me. I even tried using the method Carbaugh suggested. I am LOVING those too!! Awesome.... :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this Freebie. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Hands Scrapbook Freebies Search List, under the Photoshop/Gimp Resource(s) (Brush(es), Swatch/Palette, ...) post on Jun. 07, 2009. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteI used Carbaugh's instructions in PSE7 & then I got it to work - it wasn't working before by canceling the .dng, I think you have to click done and then when you open your picture do previous conversion, like she said. That's how I got it to work. Thanks for making these! I'm off to post them on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! OK, I modified my loading instructions for PSE so hopefully one version will work with each PSE. Just like using actions in PSE, presets are going to be a trial and error type of thing. I really appreciate the suggestions as I can't test these on programs I don't have! Please keep them coming. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteGood one! Thank you. :)
Rita these are fabulous as I knew they would be! I tried them on about 5 SOOC RAW images and they worked with no adjustment needed. Like no other RAW presets I have found so far. With your LR tutorials and presets available I am now a LR convert after months of getting frustrated with it. Thanks a million!
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, Thank you !
ReplyDeleteRita,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! I am so excited to see that they will work in Elements 7. I was trying to figure out how to justify getting Lightroom. Once again, thank you for sharing your creative abilities with us.
Thanks a bunch! Now, what I wouldn't give for a LR2 preset with the same effect as your Little Perk (my most fave action EVER)... Hint, hint...
ReplyDeleteI'm in super mega love w/ these for LR2...wow! LR2 has sped up my workflow by leaps and bounds then your conversions literally made it even fast. A bit of brightening, your preset, a quick sharpen and BOOM...done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you!
Rita...you are TOO generous to us! Thank you SO much. I just learned how to load ACR presets earlier today, so loading your's was a breeze. Off to play. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteOMG...I am relatively new to PSE and just wanted to thank you so much for all you share with us! Your site is bookmarked as one of my favorites! Your actions make me look like a much better photographer than I really am!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love your site!
I am new to PSE7, if anyone could post a step-by-step to get these presets to work, I would appreciate it greatly! I already tried the steps above, and could not find "settings" and figure it out. :/
ReplyDeleteTIA!
Beautiful conversions!!!
Thanks again, they are great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much RITA, LOVE the Mocha =-)
ReplyDeleteDoes this work for PSE5? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYeah? Does this Preset work in 5.0?
ReplyDeleteOMG, these presets are totally awesome!!! I never even knew I had Camera Raw/ACR much less how to use it! Rita, you are a genius!!!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful, keep the LR presets coming!
ReplyDeleteWOW love this.. Not sure if you answered this yet, but will this work in PSE 5? I would LOVE to use the Mocha!
ReplyDeleteme again, I asked without reading it all, as I understand I need to have the pic. in RAW to use this? Will it be coming as a action too for us PS dummies? Prettyplease ;)
ReplyDeleteI just ordered LR. Thank you for the presets! I am anxious to try them out!
ReplyDeleteRita ~ just started getting into presets and discovered I could use yours with PSE7...fabulous! As a huge fan of your actions, I know I'm going to enjoy the presets as well. Many thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteCan you direct me to where I can download these to a MAC? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteJust tried downloading these but I can't use them in PSE 9 I guess? :( Is there anyway that I can convert them or something????? I was so excited to see this action, I love all your other ones and use some of them all the time!
ReplyDeleteThese don't seem to be working for LR3. will you be updating? would LOVE to grab em! stunning. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't have LR3 yet, so I can't update them. Do LR2 presets not work in LR3? So much to learn!
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just wanted to say that your presets are absolutely adorable, so subtle.. I love them!
ReplyDeleteGrateful hugs from Poland
Does it work in Photoshop Elements 11? I love all your actions..
