I’m not one to pass up free stuff so I thought I’d mention this one. Jack Davis (renowned Photoshop educator, author and Photoshop Hall of Famer) has worked with onOne Software to create one-click photo presets that work specifically with Lightroom. There are over 80 presets that work with the tone, color, as well as many other types of specialized conversions that you can achieve with your photos. As you can imagine, with 80 of them, the possibilities are pretty remarkable. So hat’s off to Jack and the team at onOne Software for jumping into what will be a brand new avenue for creativity with Photoshop Lightroom.
Download the presets here.

Layers magazine Tip of the Day
Adobe InDesign CS2 Tip – New Document with No New Dialog.
You’re working on several documents during the workday that are exactly the same specifications. Being that all new documents take on the specifications of your last new document, is there a way to skip the “New” dialog window when you open a New document.
Yes! You can Command your way right by the window. Simply press Command + Option + N (Control + Alt + N on a PC) and you’re all set.
