Get the Tintype Vintage Look

Tintype is an early photographic process from the 19th century known for its unique, antique look with rich tones and high contrast.

This Lightroom preset gives your photos the colors and tones of a tintype. It’s perfect for creating a vintage feel and creates a darker, more textured version of the sepia effect.

Color Grading

This preset drops vibrance and saturation, adding a warm, muted brownish tone across midtones and shadows, while highlights shift to a soft beige. Reds and oranges fade into earthy tones, creating a desaturated, vintage aesthetic with low contrast.
