Untamed Black and White Presets for LR & ACR

To see in color is a delight for the eye but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul” – Andri Cauldwell

Have you been searching for the perfect black and white conversion? You’ve found it! It’s right here!! Want to know how I know that? This black and white preset collection was curated for YOU and with you in mind. There is a complete range of conversions that inspire emotion and manipulate the light and mood of your images. These are easy to adjust and make your own, in fact, I encourage you to do just that!! 

Inside this Untamed Collection is everything you need to create an amazing black and white image. These presets will work for Lightroom Classic and ACR (If you have Photoshop CC you have this too!) This is a curated collection of 15 all Black and White presets ranging from soft and fanciful and romantic, to bold and deep and rich. As you use each preset, you will see the way the light reshapes and forms around your image. There are toned black and whites to give a nostalgic, vintage feel or pure black and whites if you prefer something a bit more classic. The important thing is you make these your own! I have also included a FREE set of helper actions for those that purchase these presets and that use Photoshop, merely as a bonus. These are beautiful on their own, but if you are like me and want to take it just one step further- these will help you achieve that. I also included a brief educational video, not only using these presets but sharing the cornerstone of curating a strong black and white image.

The Presets included are:

1908– Glow-y, Warm tones, nostalgic || Crown– Contrasted, Rich, Bold, Great for Backlight || Dark Horse- My work horse B&W Preset.

Here are a few more previews: Please note I didn’t tweak these in anyway other than exposure because I wanted to really show them before any changes or adjusting has been made.

A note on using these Presets:

These will work with LR CC Classic versions as well as the newest version of Photoshop ACR. Make sure to update your LR or Photoshop ACR if necessary. It will ensure they work the best.

Customizing the Presets:

I designed these presets to make them as easy to use as possible. I chose not to adjust the White Balance or the Exposure because I wanted them to be better adaptable for you. I realize we all shoot with different gear, different light, different beginning white balances and there are so many variables and I didn’t want to make your life harder. Make sure you are bumping up that exposure (or bumping it down) and playing with the settings to your own liking. You can also tweak any of the sliders. PLEASE make these your own! I want to see your magic!!

As always due to the digital nature of these presets, no refunds will be granted.
