Easy presets upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5

Since all our presets work in Lightroom 5, you won’t need to do a thing if you are using Lightroom 4.  You presets will automatically appear in Lightroom 5 when you upgrade.

If you have Lightroom 3 or prior, and bought presets for that version, you will need to re-download your presets from our website.  To do this, log on to your account at MCP Actions. Look for “My Downloadable Products on the left side of your account area. Re-download the Lightroom 2 and 3 presets. Please note that the download will still be named “for Lightroom 2 and 3,” however, the most recent version of the presets will be in the same file.  The upgrade is in that folder even though the name doesn’t reflect it. Make sure to read the installation instructions.  If you need assistance, check the FAQs here.

Best New Features in Lightroom 5

Lightroom 5 has several new additions that are going to make efficient editing much easier for photographers – we now have even fewer reasons to take photos into Photoshop.

1. The Spot Removal tool now works more like a brush.  In the past, we have only been able to remove isolated spots using this brush.  Now, we can click and drag to remove larger and irregularly shaped objects, much like the content aware spot healing in Photoshop.advanced-spot-healing1 Lightroom 5 Now Available: MCP Lightroom Presets Work Flawlessly Lightroom Presets Lightroom Tips MCP Actions Projects

2. The Radial Filter to apply local adjustments.  It’s a cross between the local adjustment and the gradient tool.  Adjustments are applied in a circular shape and are strongest at the center, fading out towards the edges to blend in with the rest of the photo.  This tool is great for off-center vignettes, sun flare effects, and subtle dodging and burning.radial-vignette21 Lightroom 5 Now Available: MCP Lightroom Presets Work Flawlessly Lightroom Presets Lightroom Tips MCP Actions Projects

3. The Upright is a new tool that corrects perspective distortion. In the before and after before, Upright made it appear as if I took the image more centered to the window and columns.  upright1 Lightroom 5 Now Available: MCP Lightroom Presets Work Flawlessly Lightroom Presets Lightroom Tips MCP Actions Projects

4. Smart Previews allow you to work on photos even if you don’t have the photos with you.  For instance, if you store your photos on an external hard drive that you don’t like to travel with, Lightroom’s catalog on your laptop stores editable previews of all the photos in its catalog.  You can perform many edits on the road.  However, you won’t be able to access the high resolution versions of those photos  until you reconnect the external hard drive to your laptop.  That reconnection is seamless – your edits are automatically synchronized with the high resolution files.

While the upgrade from 4 to 5 isn’t as major as the prior upgrade from 3 to 4, there are still features that photographers will appreciate.  Now, it’s your turn.  Do you plan on upgrading to Lightroom 5?

    Yes, I think I will upgrade. I have been waiting for a better healing brush, and the radial filter. The ability t edit the preview files sounds like a plus too!
