Lightroom Develop Preset for Smoothing Skin

by Victor Augusteo on May 17, 2010

This is a Lightroom develop preset that I made to make the model’s skin smoother. It will work for most portraiture.

It makes use of the Lightroom 3 noise reduction engine. Note that this preset will also make other aspect of the picture a little bit smooth too (not too noticeable). So if you want to just smooth the skin without smoothing the other part, feel free to use Photoshop.

    This preset looks like it is exactly what I am looking for however it doesn't seem to work. When I option click (on a Mac) it just downloads a .txt file. I'll keep looking for the preset I am looking for, but I just thought you'd like to know. Cheers!

    That's because settings files are really just text files, and your browser is recognizing its type :)

    Save the file as txt and then rename it with the .lrtemplate extension and you should be good to go!
