Preset Pack #5 “Film & Funk” Released!

It’s done!!

I’ll add it to the store tomorrow, but for now you can purchase below.

One itsy bitsy little caveat to this one though…

If you’ve used any of my presets before, you probably realized that all kinds of funky magic masking trickery goes into them. What this has always meant was that files bigger than the masks (21 megapixel on sets #1 and #5, 24 megapixel on sets #3 and #4) wouldn’t work, because you’d exceed the edges of the mask. Fine.

It also meant that if you had smaller files (as most of us do) then you were just using a portion of the mask. Fine, never a problem.

Well, it’s gonna be a problem with these. Because one of the most interesting parts of the mask is the outer edge, if your file isn’t big enough to capture that edge, then you’re missing out on some of the best part of the mask.

So here’s what I intend to do. In order of popular demand, I’ll be generating entire new sets of presets based on popular camera sizes. This will take time and effort, so won’t happen overnight. And I’ll do the ones first that people ask for first (feel free to sound-off below, until I get a better system in place).

In the meantime, if you want to get them anyway to try, when I update for your camera size you’ll be able to re-download for free. That’s up to you.

Do watch the video to understand how they work, and you can decide if you want to proceed or not.

Samples of each preset are on flickr.

I would like to request ones for the 12MP sensors of the Nikons. Specifically, the D700 which should work for the D3, too. Not sure about the D300(s).

I'd like to request ones that work with a 10 MP Canon (files end up being 3888x2592 pixels).

Hi Joseph, I'd also like to make a request for the Nikon d700
