  • Photo book creation with easy-to-use elegant templates.
  • Location-based organization lets you find and group images by location, assign locations to images, and display data from GPS-enabled cameras.
  • White balance brush to refine and adjust white balance in specific areas of your images.
  • Additional local editing controls let you adjust noise reduction and remove moiré in targeted areas of your images.
  • Extended video support for organizing, viewing, and making adjustments and edits to video clips.
  • Easy video publishing lets you edit and share video clips on Facebook and Flickr®.
  • Soft proofing to preview how an image will look when printed with color-managed printers.
  • Email directly from Lightroom using the email account of your choice.

But they have even more free icons. Check them here (or click on image below): http://www.visualpharm.com/free_icons.html

But it’s not all!

They’we designed and released for free an omni-growing set of free metro style icons:
http://icons8.com/download-huge-windows8-set/

windows8-icons

And it’s even more — people decide, which icons they draw next. Here’s how it works:
1. People propose icons.
2. People vote.
3. VisualPharm draws the most voted ones, 3 a day.

And everything is free. They do this partly for fun, partly to speed up work for their own projects (creating only missing icons), partly for self-promotion. Check it all out here: http://icons8.com.

So probably you’ll make a good use of minimalist collection of 20 free festive vector (EPS) icons created by offset media. The pack includes color and grayscale versions of mostly Christmas related icons, such as fir tree, snowman, the gingerbread man and more. The pack is completely free to use in personal and commercial projects without any restrictions.
