The main photo was shot on a Nikon D810 with an 85mm lens at f/2.2: a model in a park, trees behind her. With the preset the leaves get deeper and darker, the background steps back, and her face and shoulders stay warm and bright. Color does not fade: green stays green, with no teal and no grey.

What the main version (Strong) does. Contrast +26 and an S curve give depth. Highlights −45, shadows −18, blacks −22: shadows are dense and clean, without a muddy film fade. Clarity +10 and texture +6 add detail. Green luminance −30, yellow −20, aqua −18: leaves and grass get darker while saturation barely moves (green −6). Orange, which is skin, goes 10 brighter. A faint warm tint in the highlights (saturation 6) and a −25 vignette on the edges.

Soft does the same more quietly: contrast +18, green −18, vignette −15. Use it for bright days or if you do not want a dense, dark feed.

The preset leaves exposure alone: set a normal exposure first, then apply it. It does not touch hues or calibration either, so skin, sky and lights keep their own color.

It works best on portraits in greenery and shade, forest and park, evening, old buildings, cars on overcast days. On snow or a beach there is no green, so you only get the contrast and depth. Green clothing gets darker too; if its color matters, raise green luminance in HSL.

8 files in the archive: two .xmp presets, two .dng files for the free Lightroom mobile app, two .cube LUTs for video and Photoshop, and install guides in English and Russian. The LUT carries color only: no vignette or clarity.

The before/after examples are this preset alone, main version, no retouching. Exposure in the RAW “before” shots was set for the face, as you would before any preset.

How to install

Three formats in the pack: .dng for the free Lightroom app on your phone, .xmp for Lightroom and Camera Raw on desktop, .cube for video and Photoshop. If the look is too strong, lower the LUT strength in your video editor, and in Lightroom adjust the sliders after applying the preset.

Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop
  1. Lightroom Classic: Develop module → Presets panel → “+” → Import Presets → pick the .xmp.
  2. Cloud Lightroom: File → Import Profiles & Presets → pick the .xmp.
  3. They appear in the GradeColor group. Click a preset, then adjust white balance and exposure for your shot.
Lightroom on your phone (free)
  1. Save the .dng to your phone and add it to Lightroom: it opens as a photo carrying the look.
  2. Open that photo → ⋯ (top right) → Create Preset → name it → save. Or copy its settings and paste them onto your photos.
  3. You can also import the .xmp: Presets → Yours tab → ⋯ → Import Presets.
Photoshop and Camera Raw
