lightroom preset pack: "modern_nostalgia"

“i love how your editing feels like i’m getting glimpses of someone’s memory.”

that line is my favorite compliment i’ve received on my visual work.

it also carries the same resonance of what i was going for when i developed these 3 lightroom presets.

designed to drop onto photos (from any cam) and give them that “cherished memory” feeling.

what's inside:

3 adobe lightroom presets (.xmp) for desktop, instantly downloadable with simple installation instructions.

• celadon_film
  • emulating the dreamy haze of experimental film stocks. cool, muted shadows + softened highlights for that bluish-green film look.
• simple & clean
  • my nod to leica's color science. richer contrast with creamy tones that feel effortlessly polished.
• vsco_fade
  • tumblr 2013 → ig white borders 2018 vibes. subtle warmth, lifted blacks, and that perfectly balanced fade.

why u should def cop

• instantly give your pics the feeling of flipping through old photo albums.
• smooth, filmic fades while keeping skin tones natural.
• ideal for lifestyle, travel, or experimental portraits.
• made for photographers who love the analog mood but want digital convenience.
• dynamic film grain masking (higher in shadows, lower in highlights — no flat grain look).

compatibility:
works with lightroom classic + cloud. must upload via desktop. pro results with raw, but made to work with jpeg too.

disclaimers:
presets are not one-click magic — exposure + white balance may need adjusting. compatible with the latest lightroom versions only. digital product; all sales final <3 hmu on discord or dms with any questions or trouble!
