That is why i also considered using Lightroom (LR) recently. Lightroom allows me to export multiple edited photos quickly – though it can also be automated in Photoshop. I used to hesitate using LR because i always got less saturated images when i export but somehow, they turned out fine. So maybe now i can create LR presets, too. :) What i like about LR is that i get some really subtle vignettes and film-like "noise". I'm still working on getting the tones right.
But one thing i'm never touching is "Clarity" setting. To me, this is one thing most photography enthusiasts i know tend to overdo. When overdone, there's no arguing the photo ends up ugly. So it should be used sparingly, just like any other setting. But that is entirely my opinion.
And, i am no longer putting watermarks on my photos. I just find it so time consuming (or i'm just getting really lazy). It's true also that watermarks tend to ruin a photo if not applied wisely. Well, maybe in some photos i still put my name or initials (especially in tumblr because i see people reposting pictures without proper link-back to my blog). But surely, my watermark has become lighter and smaller through the years i've been practicing photography.
These pictures were shot at Mooon Cafe Silliman Ave Branch, the Dumaguete boulevard and Cafe Antonio.
