Ashley has been inspiring me to try and use Lightroom more. I used to use it till I came across Elements. Then upgraded to CS5. Well I decided to give Lightroom another try and I made my own Clean Preset called “It’s Good For You” {Ashley helped with the name}. I also made a Photo Frame to use in any Photoshop Program. It has a drop shadow that you can turn off if you want and a place where you can add words. It has a box to do a clipping mask. Enjoy them both. Send me a link to your post if you decide to use them. I would love to see what you come up with.
All I did to this photo was open it up in Lightroom 2 and ran my new preset. Then I opened it in CS5 cropped the photo, then re-sized and sharpened for the web. Then I just added it to my new frame and added the Happy Birthday writing.
Love this, it looks so clean! I tried Lightroom today and found it quite interesting. Are you liking it?
Yes lightroom is fun but different. Thanks so much for your sweet comment.
i know NOTHING about lightroom. is it something you use in addition to CS5, & why?
Thanks Amy. Some things are easier in lightroom. Like editing multiple photos. But it is definitely different. Takes so getting used to.
How cute!!! I love the frame, it looks perfect with your photo.
Thanks Monica.
That preset is so sweet on that picture. I need to keep playing with it because I really want it to work for me!
Thanks Ashley. Good luck.
awww! What a cutie pie peach!
Thanks Jill.
oh I LOVE Lightroom – I tried PS for the 30 days and couldn’t figure it out to save my life!
Ha ha. I am not used to lightroom at all.
I like your clean edit. Well done. I don’t have lightroom but I can definitely use the frame. Thanks for sharing Sarah!
Thanks Pam and you are so welcome.

LIghtroom ROCKS!!! Thanks for the link to the preset! I will have to try it out.
You are welcome. Let me know what you think when you try it.
Love your edit! It really brightened the photo up! And the crop is wonderful. You are really making me want to get Lightroom!
Thanks Kimberly. You should try the free trial and see if you like it.
Look at you…..burning up the actions/presets. That’s awesome. I just downloaded the frame. I’ll let you know when I use it.
Thanks amber. Hope you enjoy it.
I only use lightroom, love your preset!
Thanks Justine. Enjoy.
Love this shot. I also love the colorful bunting in the background. That’s a great color on that wicker chair. Such a happy color!
Thanks. Look for a review of that soon over on http://sheheartsit.com
