The Look of Nostalgia

Turn your photos into nostalgic snapshots with this Lightroom preset. It adds warm tones, a muted color palette, and a subtle matte finish for a vintage look, like photos from the 1990s.

This look is perfect for casual snapshots or old photos you want to style with a vintage, nostalgic feel.

Color Grading

This preset drops vibrancy and brightness overall, with reds, purples and blues desaturated and darkened significantly. Greens and yellows remain slightly lifted but muted, creating a moody color grading with deep shadows and muted midtones.
