Get my Leica Presets
for Lightroom and Capture One

Overgaard's Leica Presets for: Lightroom CC Classic (7.4 -->)
Lightroom CC (version 1 through 7.2)
Lightroom CC (cloud-based 1.0)
I have made a few essential Presets for Lightroom which do minor adjustments to the Leica files, so as to get the tones exactly how I want them.
The Presets have as their ideal, the Leica M9 sensor, as well as the Kodachrome film (which also happens to be the ideal for Leica, when they developed the Leica M9 sensor). Not that it matters much, but that is the reason why I made my own Presets: To get the that look, rather than a “digital sensor look”.

differently than the eye?

photography have in common?

set out on in photography these days?

"Unlike other books I’ve read on the subject of composition, the 'Composition in Photography - The Photographer as Storyteller' is not a reference manual (or imitation of such.) Thorsten Overgaard is quite frank from the very first pages that the purpose of the book is to inspire and share his experiences and techniques, rather than analyze the work of photographers as a gallery curator or an art critic would. I find that most approachable and practical way to teach someone something. Think about it like working with a vastly experienced co-worker and mentor, rather than sitting in a class. I love how hands-on and laid back Thorsten Overgaard's witting style is."
