Short answer: For iPhone (ProRAW), the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your .DNG files in one click and the whole shoot stays consistent. Each GradeColor pack includes .xmp for desktop Lightroom, a mobile .dng profile for the free Lightroom Mobile app and a matching .cube video LUT.
iPhone photos look punchy on the screen, but Apple’s Smart HDR flattens contrast and cools skin tones the moment you open the RAW. Shooting Apple ProRAW gives you real editing latitude — and that’s exactly where a good preset turns a flat file into a finished, cinematic frame in one tap.
Why presets help
A preset sets exposure balance, color and tone the way a colorist would — instantly and consistently. Our mobile DNG profiles run inside the free Lightroom Mobile app, so you don’t need a subscription or a computer: import once, tap, done. Perfect for iPhone street, travel and everyday shots.
Every GradeColor pack ships in three formats — mobile .dng profiles that run in the free Lightroom Mobile app, desktop .xmp presets for Lightroom & Camera Raw — so one look stays consistent across your whole feed.
Best GradeColor packs to try
- COLD START — cinematic teal & orange for travel and street — cold shadows, warm skin
- ASPHALT — dark, moody city grade that looks great on iPhone ProRAW
- VALET — warm golden-hour glow for portraits and lifestyle
How to install
Turn on ProRAW (Settings → Camera → Formats → ProRAW & Resolution Control, then tap RAW in the camera). Open the shot in the free Lightroom Mobile app, import the included .dng preset, copy its settings and paste onto your photo. Adjust exposure to taste — presets are a one-tap starting point, fully editable.
FAQ
Do these presets work with iPhone (ProRAW) RAW files (.DNG)?
Yes. Import your .DNG files into Lightroom (Classic or CC), open Develop and apply the .xmp preset — it lands as an editable starting point, so exposure, white balance and strength stay fully adjustable per shot. The same look is also included as a mobile .dng profile and a .cube video LUT.
Do I need a paid Lightroom subscription?
No. Every pack includes mobile .dng profiles that install in the free Lightroom Mobile app on iPhone and Android — no subscription and no computer needed. The .xmp presets are there for desktop Lightroom and Camera Raw if you already have them.
Is there a free pack to try first?
Yes. The free starter pack has 13 files — five .xmp presets, five mobile .dng profiles and two .cube video LUTs, with no card required — try our color on your own files before buying anything.
