Retro, Cross-Processed Colors

This preset brings back the classic retro film style with warm tones and cross-processed colors. It also has added grain, and a slight green tint inspired by CineStill 800T film. The imperfect look is ideal for everyday shots, street photography, and other casual scenes.

Color Grading

This preset lowers highlights and gently lifts shadows for softer contrast. Highlights take on a warm yellow. Colors are slightly muted: reds shift toward orange, greens lean towards lime-green, and blues look deeper.
