Join the Community!

Some of you may have recently noticed a new link in the page menu bar. The Community is a free photography forum and is open to anyone of all experience levels. It’s a place where we can all share information, get critiques, and grow as photographers.

There’s a quite a bit that you can do in there so I’ll go over some of that now.

When you first head over there, you’ll be able to view all of the posts and discussions, but not able to actually participate until you register. Registration is completely free and literally takes about 10 sec. After that, you can sign in with facebook, twitter, or the e-mail that you registered with. (Don’t worry, I’ll never sell or distribute your info. The world already has enough spam.)

Change Is Here

 

Well it’s happened. Change is here and I think it’s for the better. The overall look of the site is much improved, navigation is cleaner, and the editing tools are better than ever. Photo Flavors is going to operate a little differently from now and I think it’ll be better for everyone. You’ll notice there’s no more pages just for actions, presets, recipes or samples and instead are replaced with education and effects pages.

The education link comes right after the home page because I want education and helping photographers with more than just their editing to take a prominent role on this site. Over the coming weeks, I have an indepth series on Lightroom planned that I think will answer a lot of questions that some of you may have about the program. I’ll be covering pretty much everything from importing photos through creating your own presets without using Lightroom. If you have any questions about Lightroom that you want to make sure that I cover, just send me and e-mail and I’ll do my best to help you out.

There’s also a BIG reason why the Actions and Presets links have been replaced with the universal Effects page. That’s because I’ve decided not to offer actions and presets as individual products but instead to offer small editing sets that are created with a distinct editing style in mind. The sets may contain actions, presets, textures, or a combination. Not only with the sets be smaller in size and more refined in style and quality, they’ll be extremely limited in the amount that are sold. There’ll be editions between 50 and 1,500 and that’ll help make sure that your look and style stays unique to you. Once each edition is sold out, those effects will never be sold again.

Change has come and it feels like a good fit. There’s still a few more things to finish up but over the next week or so, I’ll be posting some more information about the effects, maybe a video or two for the Lightroom series, and hopefully do a complete release of the first few kinds of effects sets that are going to be offered.

Take a look around, get comfortable, and welcome to the new PhotoFlavors.com.

Change is Coming!

A tweet was recently sent out stating that the presets are now limited to the next 100 sold. After this final 100 are sold, they will no longer be available. I’m not saying that Photo Flavors will never offer Lightroom Presets again, just that there are none planned for release at this point. The reason is simple. Photo Flavors is taking a new turn on how it offers products.

I’m still as devoted as ever to making awesome products at affordable prices – just going to try to help photographers maintain a unique look that can set them apart from the competition. I do not want to give away all of the details now but stay tuned for updates. I’m pretty excited about all of this and I think that you will be too.
