Downloaded over 38,000 times on deviantart, this was the first set of Custom Shapes I made. There is quite a lot of detail in the guns, even though they are only outlines. I’ve found them very useful over the years. www.mustangcontracting.com

See below for some examples of things people have made with them. If you’ve made something using these shapes, let me know and I’ll add it to the list!

How to import Camera Raw presets into Lightroom

When I started using Lightroom, I thought it would be very handy to be able to import all my Camera Raw presets into the developing room. Afterall, I’ve spent the past couple of years developing them and they’re the same options as far as I could see. Wrong.

I thought it would be a matter of copy and pasting the files from the Camera Raw folder into the Lightroom one. Which is what I initially tried. It didn’t work. So I saved a setting from Lightroom, had a look back in the folder and it has some strange .LRTEMPLATE file to store the settings.

Not sure who thought that was a good idea. It’s probably just the same Camera Raw .XMP file but with some changes to make .XMP unreadable.

As far as I can tell, the following is the only way to import the Camera Raw settings into Lightroom (at the time of writing).

Essentially, we need to get a bunch of photos, apply one preset to each photo, click done to save the XMP sidecar file, then open those files with Lightroom, go to Develop on each one (it will read the sidecar files with your Camera Raw settings) and click the plus sign to save as a Lightroom preset.

It shouldn’t take very long, depending on the number of presets you have. Personally, I had about 25 Camera Raw presets that I use and tweak further for my photos. I’m not sure if that’s a lot or not.

Took me about 10 minutes to go through them all and make the Lightroom files.
