We love adding punch and texture to our images and one of the ways we achieve that is by using HDR Toning Adjustments in Adobe Photoshop.

Enter “The Oomph” and “The Grit.” Easily installable, these two HDR toning presets help bring out alllll those details when combined with blending modes.

"The Oomph" is the preset that packs a real punch making an image go from good to great. You can double it up and try different blending modes for a truly unique effect.

"The Grit” is the preset that brings in all the texture and well… grit! Consider this the high pass sharpening method on steroids. It’s a fun one!

Be sure to follow the instructions for how to apply these presets because they’re not a one-click solution.

It can take a bit of time playing around to find the right settings but they’re sure to really add that special “oomph” to your photos.

We hope you love these presets as much as we do! Make sure to tag @weekendcreative so we can see and share what you create!
