Adobe Lightroom 2.0 is here - Cottage Industry pre-sets and textures work wonders

First of all, I am so excited that the 2.0 version of Adobe Lightroom has been released. There are so many new and exciting features, and, yes, a few bugs here and there. I still highly recommend it, especially if you never purchased version 1.x. It has speeded up my workflow dramatically, as well as taken my artistic pursuits to a whole other level. Cottage Industry has a fantastic set of Lightroom Pre-Sets that are made for today's photographers. Punchy color, special effects, and this dramatic warm toned infrared black and white which some of our customers say is worth the price of the whole set... This image was a throw away image... the "before" is ghastly, but with this preset and one of Cottage Industry's damask textiles as a texture, I think it feels mysterious and moody in an elegant sort of way.
