Breakdown: Effects

The presets in this group produce dramatic transformations from the original image at full strength.  At Medium and Lite settings they create subtle tweaks to tone and coloring to alter the mood of a photo.

Bitchin Camaro, Boogie Nights, Crystal Ship, Eddie Would Go, Friendly Confines, Mystery Bus

Each of these presets provides a variation on the vintage / faded / cross-processed school of post-production.

Skid Row, Sweating Bullets

Cool, hard, crisp presets with low saturation and high contrast.  Skid Row is darker, and won’t work for most portraits.  Sweating bullets doesn’t darken the image as much, particularly in the highlights, and will work on a wide variety of images.

Xanadu

Bright, soft, and saturated.  What things probably look like when you die, if you were good.  Similar to Technicolor Dream World from The Original Totally Rad Action Mix.
