Lightroom Black and White Preset Download
Recently I did a series of artistic black and white photographs and was in need of a Lightroom preset that would work well on a black background. I wasn’t able to find any existing presets in my pretty large collection, so I created my own.
When shooting these images it was difficult to tell if the lighting was correct when reviewing the photos in-camera. That’s when I decided to create a Lightroom preset to apply to all of the photos during a tethered capture. Without this ability I would have felt less confident in my shots as I was taking them, and wouldn’t have been able to see what lighting needed improved until it was too late.
Once the shoot was complete I tweaked my black and white preset until I was happy with a version that worked well across nearly all of the images taken during this session. The resulting preset is great for black backdrops, but it also works really well for more generic black and white portrait purposes. One other thing that I should mention is that it’s not a 100% true black and white preset because the images will have a slightly warm tone to them, which is controlled by the Split Toning feature within Lightroom.
