Flare Presets

I love Flare, the image styling app for the Mac from Iconfactory. You can read my review or head over to Mac App Store to purchase. But one of my favorite things about Flare is the ability to create and share presets. So I’ve set up a little corner here on Sketchbook B to host a few of my favorite original preset creations.

For each preset, I’ve provided three samples so you get a good idea of what the preset will do. Below are the original images. To install a Flare preset, download the preset and then double click the preset file. The preset will be installed under the preset tab.
