malachite raw preset | jewels | tweakers

A new before & after section for OJ’s Lightroom Presets called Tweakers!

OJ presets before/sooc, played as is then tweaked.

This one here is Malachite from the Jewels set.

Here is a sooc image. It’s a teensy underexposed. No biggie. We shot Raw. I will not fix using the Exposure slider. I much prefer using the Darks slider in the Tone Curve and the Fill Light.

But let’s play Malachite first to see what we have to work with. I love the color shift!

Because the image was underexposed to start plus she didn’t have amazing light in her eyes- we really need to brighten this up more and ease up on the Blacks.

Oh yes. So much better. I had to warm it up some and add some pink for my taste (err magenta using the Tint slider).

I might fiddle a little bit more. Her skin is pretty Cyan still but I rather like it so I am leaving it.

Hope you found today’s Tweaker useful!
