Aged Sepia

Gives your photo an old sepia look.
Not quite as contrasty as the Aged Photo look and has more of a sepia tone to it. Great for many types of images.

HDR-Like

Many people like the “look” of heavy tonemapped High Dynamic Range images (HDR). While Lightroom does not produce HDR images, one can simulate the look do a degree.
This Preset does not work on all types of images. Dark images will look downright awful and images with lots of blue (sky and water) will not look right either.
However, it provides great effects when used for buildings, street scenes and even some landscapes.
