Whether you’re capturing unique views from far above, or documenting the world around you from the ground, Altitude Presets give your images a definitive and striking style, allowing colors and textures found in nature to soar. Created with drone and landscape images in mind, Altitude includes 3 tonal variations plus tools to enhance and magnify our planet’s endless array of beauty. Live Edit with ALTITUDE

Deep underwater, beneath the surface, light breaks through the waves to illuminate a sunken world. Immersed in mystery, cobalt and midnight blues, Descent Presets are a siren song of color and mood, giving images a subtle marine color grade with deep sapphire shadows and coral tones.

Descent features 3 unique color presets as well as tools to immerse yourself in a subaquatic realm through your edits. Adobe AI masks separate the subject and background, submerging the background in shades of blue while keeping natural skin tones for your subject. The presets come with no grain by default, with Grain Mask and Grain Mask O presets to add or remove a subtle grain masking layer that gives your image a light dusting of sandy texture. Live Edit with DESCENT

Serenus is designed to give your images a refined and polished look while maintaining absolute color accuracy across all hues. Each preset gently lifts the shadows and adds a soft contrast, bringing a flattering dynamic to your subject without straying from the essence of what you captured.

The Serenus Creative Profile brings a subtle filmic edge by adding a soft peachy overtone and (for the first time in a creative profile) adding a subtle grain texture.

Perfect for wedding photography, product imagery, lifestyle, journalistic work, and any instances where color accuracy is a top priority.

Serenus 01 – gives absolute color accuracy with a gentle contrast and lifted shadows for a fresh and natural feel with almost no tweaking.

Serenus 02 – slightly desaturated yellows and greens while maintaining accuracy across the rest of the color range. Useful for toning down vibrant foliage.

Serenus 03 – heavily desaturated yellows and greens and a cool overtone bring a moodier look to this preset.

Serenus 04 – a clean and modern black & white preset with deep blacks and bright whites.

Serenus Creative Profile – increase the profile slider to add a soft peachy overtone and a subtle grain texture for a clean filmic look.

Serenus BW Creative Profile – increase the profile slider to introduce a soft copper toning with a subtle grain texture; for a nostalgic, filmic look.

Crisp White – delivers brighter highlights and white tones, along with deeper contrast; useful for adding dimension to flat lighting. Designed to pair with all presets in this set.

Tilt Shift – blurs the top and bottom of the photo while maintaining sharpness across the middle, top third or bottom third of the image, delivering a tilt-shift-like effect without the need for a specialized lens.

ZIA was developed with golden sun kissed imagery as a top priority. Each color graded preset variation lends itself to honey amber skintones with slight variations in tonality, giving you perfect grade for every scene under the sun you may encounter. Also included are 3 sun burst presets, both horizontal and vertical variations, designed to create or enhance an already existing light source for a one of a kind dramatic effect.

Lastly, be sure to use the Dorado preset for that extra dose of warmth your imagery has been missing! Live Edit with ZIA

Floresce offers an ethereal collection of AI tools and presets that will help create great light and airy appearance in only two clicks. The three color-graded presets offer a solid foundation you can build from and offer many exciting options. You can personalize your look to your liking using Ethereal’s AI presets. Of the seven tools included, Ethereal gives you a changeable look by increasing brightness while maintaining contrast and exposure levels. Make sure to utilize your Skin Tone modifiers to adjust your subject perfectly. Additionally, the Pastelize tools let you remove tonality from your background while maintaining your subject’s accuracy and skin tone.

Pages of old books: well-loved, full of texture and warmth, and a little wear and tear here and there. Familiar as childhood tales told at bedtime, each chapter is like a worn-in pair of corduroys. Fable Presets elicit memories of your favorite tales, brought to life in 3 distinct Chapters, each telling a different story, but part of the same anthology.

Fable Presets also include 15 preset tools, an appendix of supplemental material that adds to the drama, texture, and tone of folktales and stories. The included grain mimics the texture of book paper, subtle from afar yet tangible upon inspection. Live Edit with Fable

The Classic Presets – Classic K14 (2020) Kodachrome Lightroom Presets

Over decades Kodachrome was a good friend to many photographers until Kodak discontinued this famous color film in 2009. Since than it was impossible to develop with the K14 Process.

I’ve started to late with photography and didn’t have any possibilities to shoot Kodachrome, but what should I say? I’m a analog guy in this digital world! So I’ve shot every other film you can think of. Kodak Tri-X400, Portra, Fuji Velvia. But I can’t stand the feeling, that I never had the chance to shoot Kodachrome 64. I’ve watched a documentary about the last roll of Kodachrome shot by Steve McCurry in 2014. This pushed my wish to shot this film even more.

So if it was impossible to shot Kodachrome as a 35mm film, it might be possible to emulate it digitally to recreate that great look of the most iconic color film? I’ve read all I can find about color profiles and how digital cameras really work, in order to get an insight on how Adobe Lightroom recreates looks and color. It was my aim to create a Lightroom preset, that works with any camera, that shoots raw. This was the start of my “Classic K14 Project”. 

SAY HELLO TO KODACHROME 25, KODACHROME 64 AND KODACHROME 200!

2 Years later, my project comes to a successful end. I’ve managed to create a color profile and a Lightroom Preset to get the most accurate look of the latest Kodachrome version of the ’00s, which is possible with our digitale tools today. That was 2017. 

Now, almost 4 years later, it’s time to make another effort. Yes, the Classic K14 presets were good, but they were mostly good guesses. Since then, a lot has happened for me and I’ve learned a lot. My sense for colors could mature and so I took 2 years again and worked again and again on a better, more usable, more user-friendly and more authentic Kodachrome look. The work is now done.

This product will work with Adobe Lightroom CC (cloud based Version), CameraRAW (10.3 and above) and Classic CC (7.3 and above). To use them with Lightroom Mobile, you’ll need a Lightroom CC or Classic CC running on Windows, or OS X.

The pack contains 14 presets, each with a corresponding adjustable profile (BNW profile not adjustable, only color), along with the five brushes I use consistently. Painterly Brush set sold separately.

Presets & Creative Profiles

* R+O01 & Heavy With Mood: Bright, glowing, golden tonality with irresistably warm, velvety shadows. Sunkissed skin tones and an overall happy, nostalgic feel. 

* R+O02 & Slow Like Honey: This is my signature combo; the one that elicits the question “what preset is this?!” Balanced midtones & the most dreamy, deep golden undertones make this pair irresistible. Skin stays creamy and highlights pop while retaining that sought-after muted finish, and gently crushed shadows finish the look. Striking a unique balance between natural, moody and light, you can’t go wrong with this pair.

* R+O02.1 & Slow Like Honey: Same as 02, but with my most commonly made tweaks and “as shot” white balance, allowing you to easily determine which white balance best suits your image without the extra hassle of switching back & forth. A time saver and a workflow booster.

* R+O02.2 – 02.9: UPDATED PRESETS using the Slow Like Honey profile, ranging from warm & creamy, to bright & poppy, to cooler and filmier. These updates were developed based on different cameras’ color science with skin tones in mind. One of these is SURE to give you the perfect creamy, dreamy skin!  

* R+03 & Vibe: Cooler, muted highlights and filmic, toasty shadows give this set an edgy feel without appearing unbalanced – it’s the one to use if you want to to dip your toes into a daring look. Pairs well with moody, heavy grain!

* R+O BNW: The OG BNW. Moody, vibey, filmy, muted and rad. Add your own grain to top this off, if you wish!

* R+O BNWII: Same vibe as the original BNW, but with a fresh twist – grays & whites take on a brighter tone while retaining the softness of a crushed white, and blacks pop. The overall look is new and modern. Candy for your eyeballs. 

Brushes

*Magic Orange Skin Shadow Eraser: You know the hot shadows that sometimes plague your skin tones around the hairline and neck? Me too. The worst! This brush erases them subtly but beautifully, like magic.  

*SuperNatural Skin Enhance: Just as it sounds. Pretty, creamy skin without anyone knowing you did a thing. 

*Sunset GLOW: Use as a brush or radial to enhance naturally sunkissed areas, or use it to create depth and the illusion of a sunset glow. 

*Radial Gradient for Subtle Eye Enhance: pops the orbital area without looking wonky! Barely there but impactful. 

*Make it Pop: Use as a radial to gently separate a subject from the background without looking unnatural.
