What’s New in this Update

We recommend all users watch the Update Video above to see all the changes in action. Below is a written list of the changes made:

1. New Develop Preset Organization – We have reorganized the Develop Presets to make it much easier accessing multiple preset categories at once. This makes developing your images more streamlined as it will require less scrolling in the Develop Preset Panel.

2. Unique Names for Each Preset – We have slightly modified all preset names to make the Develop History much more usable. Prior to version 1.3, there were a lot of preset names that were similar, making it difficult to follow and backtrack to a specific point in the Develop History. These updates to names are kept very minor to make it easy to follow prior Mixology videos.

3. New Soft Portrait Presets – We have added a 6 new Mixology presets to the 00 MY MIXOLOGY – 10 Soft Portrait category which do the following:

- 14 SP Extra Soft Color – A softer version of the 11 SP Standard Color Soft Portrait preset. This preset is designed for infant photography and close up portraits as it will do a little more smoothing and color modification for skin tones.
- 15 SP Extra Soft B&W – A softer version of the 13 SP Standard B&W designed for infant photography and close up portraits.
- 16 SP HDR Light, 17 SP HDR Strong, 18 SP HDR Max, 19 SP HDR B&W – We have added 4 new HDR presets specifically designed for use with environmental portraits. These HDR presets are much more subtle than their Vivid Landscape counterparts and are perfect for wide environmental portraiture.

4. Disabled Camera Calibration – Muir Robertson sent in a tip that some of the Mixologies including the Standard Import were resetting the Camera Calibration Profile. While this doesn’t affect most users as most users stick with the Adobe Standard preset. However, it was an annoying thing to deal with for those that do use Camera Calibration Profiles. Camera Calibration has has now been disabled in all presets.

5. Preset Modification and Tweaks – As usual, we have made a few minor tweaks to improve many of the Base Adjustment presets. Tweaks not only in overall effect, but also in consistency and structure.

6. Export Presets – We have added our 3 favorite Export Presets for 3 common export formats : print, slideshow and web uses.
