Hello Hogs,
I get e-mail every few days from Picture Correct. It has been so long I forget whether or not I signed up or it or if it's junk mail, but either way I don't mind as they have interesting articles once in a while. Today's e-mail, "New Deal: Over 1000 Stunning Presets for 1-Click Photo Editing." Normally $560 and usually on sale for $99 but today with the code you can get it for $49. For all you "in the know" Hogs is this a phenomenal deal or is this just another Veg-o-matic? I have yet to use a preset, I actually enjoy tinkering with each photo and the way I personally analyze everything I do I figure it will take me about 41.5 days to check out each of the 1000 presets. But more important here is my main concern with the miracle presets. Let's say I take 100 photos from 6pm to 7pm, the light is completely different at 7 than it was at 6. So I am in Lightroom with the first photo (6pm) and I find a preset that I like and do my 1-click thing, perfect. So now I 1-click the whole 100? No matter the lighting they are all going to look as good as photo #1? Because if the answer is no then what is the point of all this, I might as well do it my way, one at a time. Thanks all....Marty

When I was new to digital photography and post processing I was overwhelmed with all the "presets" out there and thought I had to have them to do good pp. So I have purchased perhaps 2500 over time and doubt that I have used 50 of them. I have wasted several 100's of dollars on them and now realize I could make my own with a bit of effort on my part. Recommend you do the same.
