Flash at a party makes the shot grey and flat: blacks go muddy, gold disappears, skin looks pale. CONFETTI brings the party back: glossy clean blacks, golden champagne and lights, silver sequins and warm skin.

What the main version does. Blacks get deeper, highlights crisp, contrast lively. Shadows lean slightly cool and highlights warm, so gold and silver separate. Yellow gets richer so champagne and glitter shine, while skin orange is calmer, so faces stay warm but never orange.

Soft does the same at 60 %. Use it on frames where the flash is already strong: close-up faces, a white wall behind.

Color and tone live in a profile inside the preset, so the light and color sliders stay at zero after you apply it, and the Amount slider sets the strength. You can still adjust exposure as usual without breaking the look.

It works best on New Year's Eve parties, flash photos, glasses and champagne, sequins and glitter, night celebrations. For fireworks and the night sky, MIDNIGHT fits better.

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

The example photos on this page were created by AI: ordinary shots that look straight from a phone, no editing. The “after” is this preset alone, main version, no retouching.

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
  1. Preset: Filter → Camera Raw → Presets tab → ⋯ → Import Profiles & Presets → .xmp.
  2. LUT: Layer → New Adjustment Layer → Color Lookup → Load 3D LUT → .cube.

  2. Right-click the LUT list → Update Lists.
  3. Color page → right-click a node → LUT → pick the LUT. Strength: Key Output Gain. If you shot LOG, convert to Rec.709 on a separate node first.

  1. Select the clip → add the Custom LUT effect.
  2. In the effect settings → LUT → Choose Custom LUT… → pick the .cube.
  3. Mix sets the strength.
