A New Approach To Presets Allows You To Create Your Own Unique Style

Margaret Bourke White. Richard Avedon. Herb Ritts. Ansel Adams.

Even if you can’t articulate their photographic style with words alone, you can see it a special something that sets their work apart from everyone else to make their artistic mark on the world.

That special something … that’s called style, and it separates the good from the great.

Creating your personal style takes time  it comes from hours shaping and reshaping countless images as you infuse your creativity into them.

We get it  it’s time-consuming and requires commitment both mentally and financially, but we know you’re up for the challenge.

How Do You Stand Out With Your Unique Vision?

Lots of other Lightroom products offer you ways to apply a unique look to your work with a one-click fix that promises that your photos will stand out in an ever crowded digital universe.

Wrong.

How is your unique style going to come to life when anyone who buys these products can achieve the same look? It’s not. When you apply a single preset as a stylistic choice, you’re not creating art, you’re following a fad. And that sucks.

You should demand a better answer – one that includes the best tools that shape and mold to your needs rather than one-click effects that are simply a shortcut to sameness.

We Take A Different Approach

We’ve created a modular approach to presets. By using the same techniques as the masters, we started by thinking of presets as building blocks rather than lazy one-click effects.

Each Preset includes 3 variations: Mix, Tone and Grain. This modular approach means that they can be used one at a time for specific effects in targeted areas, or to blended together drive an overall look that is uniquely yours.

Instead of adjusting sliders for hours in an ad hoc fashion, we’ve created small cheats that will get you farther, faster in a more directed and predictable way. As you drive your unique style and begin to define your palette, we make it easy to save your combinations as your own preset, and process a ton of images in batches to get your signature look  unique to you and only you.

It takes a special blend of style and technique to incite the emotion and power of this medium. XEQUALS Black & White was created to be part of your journey.

We’ve painstakingly worked to captured the essence of the classic black & white films, papers, tonings, and mixes to bring you a palette that is as varied and world-class as your own work.

Use Tools, Not Toys

By using these presets in unison with one another, you can create combinations that represent you and only you. By finding the combinations that you love, you’ve fast-tracked the creation of your unique style  just like the greats.
