Yellowish Highlights
Earlybird creates a warm, yellowish, faded film look, ideal for morning or golden hour photography. It enhances sun reflections with a rich, warmer yellow tint.
This preset is part of the 2010s Instagram aesthetic project where I recreate the look of retro Instagram filters
Color Grading
This preset is less contrasty than most Instagram filters, giving shadows a reddish-brown tint and highlights a warm tan color. Skin tones will look more contrasty and have a yellowish tone.
During the 2010s, app filters commonly used RGB adjustments because they were more efficient and better suited for the slower phone hardware of that time. As a result, you may not notice significant changes in the image below.
Skin Tone Protection
In the free download, you’ll receive the standard Earlybird preset. If you are a Pro member, you will receive an additional Lightroom Preset with skin tone protection. This preset uses VOXCOLOR’s Skin Tone Protection algorithm to restore the original skin tones, making it ideal for portraits.
