The latest version of Adobe Lightroom (cloud or desktop) is required to use the presets included in the Big Sur preset pack. That’s why we’ve decided to include five additional presets which feature simulated film grain and color casts that will give your images a taste of vintage Big Sur. And of course, the beach landscapes surrounding Big Sur were absolutely made for film photography. Pastel colors with subtle fading reflect the softness of Big Sur in early summer as the changing daylight mingles with the perpetual coastal mist.Įven our five black and white themed presets carry a hint of old school cool with subtle toning of reds, blues and yellows in both the highlights and shadows. The Contrastly Big Sur preset pack for Lightroom & ACR walks along the blurry line where modern sensibility meets pure California coastal retro. This is the world famous coastline that has become an American legend. The light here seems to have just an extra touch of magic as it gleams through the mist at sunset. The rugged cliffs of the San Lucia’s seem to fearlessly drop to the sea. Keep going until the ocean shifts to the bluest of blues before before giving way to pale aqua as the Pacific surf kisses the coast.

Hopefully that will improve with native LR and PS apps that are promised.Drive south along California’s fabled Highway 1 past Santa Cruz and the Carmel Highlands. Other than that LR and PS work well for my needs but work flow is no quicker than on my 10 year old MacBook running Catalina. None of my Topaz products work with the new system but they promise native support “within a few months”. Extra steps but at least I have a workaround. The same thing happens when I save from PS. I am able to then move the imported image into the folder I intended and the second listing for my hard drive disappears. Instead a second folder listing the name of my hard drive is created and the imports are put into it in a subfolder with the same name as the one I was trying to import into.

My biggest issue with LR is that any import does not go into the folder on my external drive that I choose. I have found that my Epson 3880 printer works with the latest software update however there is an an error message about a missing usb mass driver. I use the desktop based Lightroom classic which is up to date. I have a new M1 Mac with Big Sur installed.
