CoffeeShop "Haze Off" Lightroom Preset: Removes Haze and Adds a Golden Tone!




OK, I am really a crazy rat-lady now.  I have blogged about how much our family adores our little rat Domino.  When we got her I did not do my research and had no idea that it was best to get rats in pairs. They are very social and need a buddy so they won't be lonely when we aren't around.  We play with Domino all of the time, but she needs a nighttime snuggle/play buddy.

I didn't want to get another pet store rat as they are infamous for getting sick (and bred mostly for snake food…), and I finally found a pet rat breeder in Texas with babies!  We hope to get one-two babies and I am also getting two babies for my niece and nephew.  The breeder just sent me a photo of our baby ratties and I wanted to share.  They have beautiful silver coats and will be ready to come home in a few weeks.  We are only getting females as I don't want the rats to overtake the humans in our house.

Yes, I am nuts.  ;-)

Today I am posting a new free Lightroom 4 and up preset called "Haze Off".

I created this action to run on some images I took at the beach last week.  It was early morning and there was a beautiful haze in the air. However, when I started editing the images I decided I wanted to remove some of the haze and add a golden tint so the images would look like they were taken in the late afternoon.  I am really happy how they turned out, and I hope you enjoy using this preset on your own outdoor, hazy images.

I have some digital paper and a really nice Photoshop retouching tutorial coming out this week.  My creative mojo has come back!!!





I just realized I have a lot of photos of the boys running away from me and my camera.  ;-)

    1. Mila, all actions won't look great on all images, that is normal. This action needs light in the picture, it would be dreadful on an inside image. :-). That is why I write so many actions, so I can always find one that works for each image.
