Palette

Palette translates ten painting techniques into photography. Not as a filter laid over the image, but as a way of looking at light and colour that painters have used for centuries. From the sharp contrast of chiaroscuro to the transparency of watercolour, each preset picks a different painterly tone.

This pack is made for photographers who want their images to feel like more than a direct recording. Whether you're shooting portraits with dramatic light, landscapes that call for mood over sharpness, or still life that asks for calm: Palette gives each of those directions its own considered treatment.

The presets work best when the composition already leans that way. Chiaroscuro and Baroque want a clear light source and a dark background, Window Light and Watercolour want a bright, open scene instead. Sunflower and Golden Sheen amplify warmth that's already there, Impression and Pastel Canvas work on images that already lean soft. Charcoal Black and White draws sharp lines, Midday Hopper asks for hard, high daylight.

Ten separate presets are ten starting points, but together they form an overview of what painting can do with light and colour. You browse through them and see at a glance which painterly tone suits your photo.

You install the pack in Lightroom Classic or Lightroom through the usual preset import step. After that they sit ready in your preset panel. Open a photo, click a preset, and adjust light or exposure where needed. Working through a series? Sync the chosen preset across the whole selection.
