LR/ACR Preset: Forte Fortepan 200

LR/ACR Preset: Forte Fortepan 200

Well, I am trying to get back on a constant release schedule. I hope to have a new post up every Monday and Friday, with new presets coming on 2 or more Mondays a month. I cannot keep up the rlease schedule I was doing earlier this year if I want to avoid burning out and taking a whole summer off again, and with my duties elsewhere, 2 days a week may even be pushing it. We’ll see how it goes, but I am going to make sure to get at least one post up every week if I cannot get two up.

Speaking of duties elsewhere, you have signed up for the X-equals+Digest, right? If not please do so, you will not be disappointed!

Well onto the meat of today’s feast, another preset. Today I finally complete the triumvirate of my Forte Fortepan collection I start almost half a year ago. I previously released the 100 and 400 versions of Fortepan, however 200 has been lingering in my Lightroom presets folder for months and I am finally getting around to releasing it. I feel it waited long enough.

Hopefully you find this preset of use to you. I am currently working on completing the newest edition of the Cold Storage Collection, hopefully it will launch in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, if you haven’t already purchased the first Cold Storage Collection, you can get it now for 33% off, saving about $3.30 off the normal $10 price tag. Simply add it to your car with the button below and when checking out use the code “LIDFCS1” in the discount code box.

Yeah, I know $3.30 ain’t much, but it is a discount, so take advantage of it if you have not purchased the collection already! Discount code expires one week from today, at midnight 9/14/2009!

Anyways, that’s enough for this jaunt, see you all next time.

Sorry for the delay in new content, sometimes the unexpected occurs and you don’t have a back-up plan. Good news is, I am back up and running. $50 bucks bought a new hard drive, and after 3 nights of fighting to get WinXP SP3 up and running, I gave up and instead dropped on the Windows 7 beta on my main machine. Turned out to be the best thing I have done in a while. If this is the sign of what Microsoft has planned for Windows, I may not migrate to Mac after all. I have always preferred to run a Linux or BSD machine as my main machine, but how 7 feels, I think I can actually stand to run Windows again…but I will let you know what I really think in a month or two, after the system has time to get bogged down. That is where Windows traditionally fails, I am hoping 7 shows to be more reliable in the long run.

Anyways, I have one of the presets I rescued from the crash for you today. Today I continue the collection of Forte films that I started releasing a week ago. Today I preset to you Forte Fortepan 100. I hope you enjoy it.

Sorry I don’t have anything else today, I am still trying to get ramped back up on making more content for LIDF, and I had some other obligations to fulfill also. I have a guest post coming up on X-Equals soon on the topic of sharpening in Lightroom. Keep checking Brandon’s site for that, as it should be up later this week.

Until tomorrow,

LR/ACR Preset: Forte Fortepan 400

LR/ACR Preset: Fortepan 400

A quick release for tonight. I have had a hard drive failure on my production PC, bringing almost everything to a grinding halt. I luckily had an rsync update from my PC to my Linux RAID server on site, so I only lost the last day’s worth of work, but that equates to 5 finished presets, 2 articles, and 2 articles for other blogs. Not a good day.

So here is one of the few finished presets I was able to scavenge, Fortepan 400.

Sorry I can’t write more tonight, gotta get back to work trying to stabilize my system and prevent further data loss. Hopefully I can scavenge today’s work before my hard drive totally becomes useless. Be back as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow.

Until then (and wish me luck)
