Julie, that looks great, really like the effect. Those colours are very harmonious and accentuates the berries in a subtle way. Have to go and have a look at that video.

Did you just use the pixentral photo? If so, it has worked well.

Will have a go very soon.

Meanwhile, back to work:(

Hi Linda,

Matt's 300 effect is a preset that can be downloaded from yesterday's episode of The Lightroom Killer Tips (http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/) rather than a video. But, it is based on a video tutorial he did on Photoshop User TV (http://www.photoshopusertv.com/) using Camera RAW (episode 116) which can be done in LR. I really like the look of it and sheepishly admit I'm rather addicted to presets... :o

I did use Gary's revised Pixentral link which is a 1.9mb file. I'm not really sure whether we need to include a RAW version like we have been. Opinions anyone?

Sounds good to me, saves a few steps and certainly seems to work just fine.

Carlo has a 2MB file size limit at Pixentral. I left the original pixel dimensions but scaled down the file from 3 to 2 mb size using save for web.

Sorry no RAW of that one anyway.

I do have a couple of other RAW files I could try at sendspace just a different subject.:)

Rob, your results are awesome! I like the way the berries stand out from the background and all the colors are so rich. Thanks for posting the settings too...

Thanks, My favorite part is the color of the vines, the way they "pop"
