How to Build and Use Lightroom Presets with Pye Jirsa

Pye is an absolutely great teacher. I suggest watching as many of his teachings here on Creativelive, because he not only teaches the how, but he explains the why. Invaluable!

I was a bit hesitant to buy because I am an interior and still life photographer and Pye is working in a completely different niche. But boy, I am so glad I got it. I finally created a set of presets that adjust my images in the way I want. The content is very structured and jam-packed with info. Next thing to figure out is how to create and use adjustment brushes, and yes, that is also explained it this course. Love it.​ Thank you Pye!

Pye is such a great instructor who breaks things down into easy to understand components. His preset system is so well organized and in this class he goes in depth on how he came up with it and how we can make our presets. I would highly recommend this course for those who want to make their post processing much quicker and easier in Lightroom.

excellent - taught me so much not just about pre-sets but about the minutiae of the different editing settings in LR

Great class!!! great information ! he explains in such and easy way!

WOW! While I thought this would be a slow basic course I forgot how amazing Pye is. This is an in-depth, practical walk through of the purpose and functionality of the develop options in Lightroom. Pye makes sure that you quickly understand what each tool does, how it works with other tools, and how to creatively think about the style you want to implement on your images. Sounds complicated? No worries, cause Pye gives you the easiest way to implement it for your images - through a preset system. I thought I was an expert in Lightroom, and I've learned so much. Plus, I've completely changed my mindset on how I analyze and create image styles.

Pye is an amazing instructor and really knows his stuff. I have been using his presets without knowing the methodology behind them. I now know more about the methodology and power of Lightroom

I was literally wishing for a class like this a few weeks ago because I spend way too much time meandering though LR wondering if there's a more methodical and efficient and consistent way to get through lighroom editing. This class nails it. The what, where and why about each of the sliders and a foundational order in which to use them. Great system Pye. Thank you.

Thank you very much for offering this class! The information I have learned is invaluable to my business and I can't wait to try out and use your presets Pye. Learning the different ways to use presets to speed up the editing process will be a game changer for sure. Thank you!

I was not able to watch the entire thing, but what I got was really great info! I enjoyed and appreciated the break-downs on the dry erase board.

When I first saw this course being offered I thought, I know how to save my own Presets, and I didn't think there could be much in this course for me. I like to listen in to courses while working sometimes though so I tuned in to this one just for "noise" in the background. Well, I was quite wrong about the content. This short course is a jewel in my opinion. Pye does show how to name, save, store Presets, but there is so much more. He delves into some pretty great detail about why and how you would save some adjustments and not others (In Camera vs Universal settings), and he explains in a precise, clear way (with demonstration) of how each setting affects an image. I have watched and also own several Lightroom and Photoshop courses. All are great, but none of them covered this topic in such a way as to make me think I don't need this course. I'm going to buy this course now so that I can watch at my own pace and really glean every little gem from it and put this info to immediate use. Thanks Pye!
