THE PRESETS

These presets are optimized to create a harmonious balance between soft highlights and deep shadows. Indoor and outdoor scenes alike will exhibit a timeless and subtle look, reminiscent of cinematic aesthetics with its minimalistic yet impactful appearance. We always strive to achieve the most pleasing and painterly skin tones, enhancing the natural beauty of each individual.

ABOUT True Romance

The TRUE ROMANCE Preset Pack was created with a distinctive look in mind, and each preset addresses different needs regarding light and mood. The two main presets, True Romance and Muse, both have a delicate and soft appearance but with different color biases. The former can be applied to almost any scene, resulting in flattering and rosy skin tones. It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and versatile looks we have ever created. The other charming sibling of this look is Muse, which has a mellower and faded palette. It carries a subtle olive hue, reminiscent of muted colors found in paintings.

Renaissance is a desaturated preset that imparts an overall pale feel. It caters to more specific needs than the first two presets, but it serves as the perfect choice at times to manage intense colors in a scene. It complements the first two presets well. Antique, as the name suggests, offers a subdued atmosphere and is highly versatile, especially when combined with the included gradation modifiers.

We designed Shadowplay as a specialty preset for scenes with the harshest lighting conditions, primarily indoors (as seen in the church photo in the before/after examples). It is a niche preset that helps regain control over photos where almost any other preset would compromise smooth gradations.

Our monochrome presets, Noir and Pure, fulfill different requirements. Pure is a classic, beautiful, and vivid monochrome preset that works well in almost any scene. On the other hand, Noir is our personal favorite and one of the most widely used presets in the past year. It features dramatic contrast while maintaining smooth interplay between light and shadow. It exudes a mystical quality and responds well to both underexposed and brighter looks. Its primary purpose is to evoke emotions.

In addition to the presets, you also receive a variety of modifiers including Curves, Grain, and the Nature FX Modifier, which allows you to adjust the depth and hue of foliage. The Vivid modifier enhances the vibrancy and saturation of all the included color presets, swiftly transforming the matte signature of each look into a more conventional contrast theme while preserving the delicate color grading.
