In his latest video, photographer, cinematographer, vlogger and all round nice chap Peter McKinnon ( Youtube, IG) tells us why he chose to drop his popular Two Minute Tuesday tutorial uploads: Archived: economic issues, from the blogroll, that's a bit mad Tagged: lightroom, peter mckinnon, presets Leave a Comment on Presets That lifestyle though… Maybe I’m way out of touch, but it feels like he might have pushed too far. It just seems like commercialism hit hard and he’s testing the waters to see what he can get away with. I know the answer – don’t buy them – and I won’t buy them. And while I appreciate that there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just a bit sad the first time someone you thought wouldn’t be into that sort of thing, does that sort of thing. So, this feels a bit like like someone cashing in on his fame. I’ve probably only used a couple of them. I likely wouldn’t have considered $10, let alone $30. But is there really any justification for that exorbitant price? I just feel that some settings for your photo editing software are massively personal and unlikely to be for everyone.įull disclosure: I bought his last lot of presets, but only because they were on offer – down from $10 to $5. I understand that he’s probably put a lot of work into fine-tuning them to make them exactly as he wants them to look. But is that really enough to be charging thirty bucks for a 38.7kB file? And that FALL 2018 tag opens it up nicely for four packs a year.ĭon’t get me wrong. With all those lovely qualities I mentioned above, it’s no surprise that PMcK has quickly reached 2.5million subscribers on YouTube (and 1.2 million on Instagram). It’s a lot of money because $30 is a lot of money to begin with. But it’s not just a lot of money because Cyril broke the economy again.

His latest pack of presets for Adobe Lightroom is priced a little steeply, I feel. I like his photography, I like his vlogs, I like his attitude, I like his down to earth personality. He’s just over to the right in the blogroll. Before we begin, let me say that I’m a big fan of Peter McKinnon.
