Vintage Nostalgia for Everyday Photos

Give your photos an alternative look with this preset that mimics old film fading to purple as its dyes age from heat and light. Lower contrast and a purple cast make everyday casual shots look vintage and different. The result is a unique, nostalgic mood that stands out from modern digital styles.

This preset works well on snapshots, street photos, portraits, or any scene where you want a worn, retro effect. Try it on simple everyday moments to add character and nostalgia.

Color Grading

This preset dims the image and adds a purple tint. The purples look bright but the greens appear faded or brown. I noticed this in old photos with a purple tint. The greens seem to disappear which is why I chose to remove the greens.

This preset uses VOXCOLOR’s Skin Tone Protection algorithm to restore the original skin tones, making it ideal for portraits.
