CHOOSE BY INTENT

Find the right starting point.

Begin with the subject, the available light, and the feeling you want to preserve. A preset works best when it supports what is already present in the photograph.

01 · EVERYDAY COLOR

Flexible and natural

Start with FINE for an adaptable cinematic base, PURE for clean whites, or FLOURISH for softer daylight and skin.

02 · EXPRESSIVE COLOR

Light as the subject

Choose PRISM for neon and vivid surfaces, WVIBES for winter neutrals, or XMAS for warm practical light.

03 · BLACK & WHITE

Shape, texture, emotion

Use MONO-X for a raw, grain-forward result, or MONOCHROME for a more classic and flexible grayscale finish.

FINE

Soft film-inspired colour and tactile grain for everyday photographs.

FINE brings together 15 variations in colour, contrast and texture. Its nostalgic character suits candid portraits, travel diaries and everyday scenes in natural light.

A REPEATABLE WORKFLOW

Start with a look. Finish with your eye.

  1. 01

    Correct exposure

    Protect important highlights and recover usable shadow detail before judging color.

  2. 02

    Choose the right family

    Match the pack to the light and subject instead of forcing every photograph into the same treatment.

  3. 03

    Adjust intensity

    Use the preset as a direction. Pull it back until it supports the photograph rather than replacing it.

  4. 04

    Refine and export

    Shape tone, detail, grain, and geometry, compare with the original, then export at full resolution.

PRESET QUESTIONS

Everything you need to begin.

What does a BLUEGRADE preset change?

Each preset coordinates color, tone, contrast, and finishing characteristics into a complete visual direction.

Which pack should I try first?

FINE is the most flexible everyday starting point.

What is the difference between MONO-X and MONOCHROME?

MONO-X is darker, rougher, and more grain-forward. MONOCHROME is the classic and more flexible black-and-white family.

Do presets replace manual editing?

No. Presets establish the color direction; the editing tools adapt that direction to the individual photograph.
