i shoot a lot of portraits and while i always like to try different things i always come back to this preset as a starting point?

 

always personnal preference and presets can be "cheap", but does anyone here find themselves really liking the, "Fine Art High Key" preset"?

I can see how it might work well for portraits but I have never used that preset.

 

Sometimes I like to start with an extreme filter preset like 'Noir #1' then de-evolve it almost completely (by brightening and less contrast etc.) closer to a normal image rendering, but keeping the background filter effect that Efex applies. It works well on clinical looking digital files.

Noir is typically my starting point as well. I much prefer hight contrast looks.

I like the Fine Art presets and I also like the Full Spectrum on occasion.
