Tonemapping with Lightroom

Here is a fun preset that mimics the look of heavily tonemapped HDR images. Lightroom, of course, cannot create High Dynamic Range (HDR) images in the true sense of the word, but with some effort great effects can be accomplished.

The Steel Preset

Steel is a set of 3 presets (Dark, Medium and Light). This preset is kind of special, as it uses a non-standard tonecurve. In tact, it’s a tone curve that you cannot create using Lightroom’s own user interface. Instead, this tonecurve was created by editing the preset file with an external editor and plotting the curve coordinates manually.
