Lightroom Preset: Green Bleach Bypass Cross Process

In developing this preset I was looking for something that would add a slight green hue to the shot without using a graduated filter.



It was important that the green was prevalent in the mid-tones and hinted at in the highlights. It wasn’t until after I had the look that I was looking for that I realized that it looked like a cross of a bleach bypass-like look with Cross Processing.

 
This was accomplished using a green and silver split tone on the image. The green was applied to the shadows and the silver was applied to the highlights.

To install the preset, copy the file in the zip (xxx.lrtemplate) to your Develop Presets folder on your computer. If you don't know where to find this folder, open Lightroom. Click on Edit menu and select Preferences. Click on the Presets tab and click the Show Lightroom Presets Folder... button.
