New Eric Kim Lightroom Presets
![Tokyo, 2016](https://i0.wp.com/erickimphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/eric-kim-street-photography-tokyo-0000324-2000x1325.jpg?resize=1200%2C795)
If you like the look of the photos from “Dark Skies Over Tokyo”, you can download the Lightroom presets for free:
- Eric Kim Monochrome 1600
- Eric Kim Color 1600
Use the presets on your RAW images to obtain a gritty, high-contrast look. I optimized them for my Ricoh GR II files, shot with both flash (and without flash). Use the presets when importing your photos into Lightroom, and then adjust the exposure afterwards:
