THE COLLECTION
Choose a starting point, then make it your own.
It adds vibrance and haze to your sunset sessions and shadow and depth for cloudy evening light. For specific use with Lightroom or ACR, the Pastel Matte Collection is the right choice for the photographer who wants vibrant velvety soft tones in their images. Like Harvest Matte and Spring Gem, this specific set adds brightness without compromising shadows. These are the presets that Twig & Olive use most in the summer to boost tonality for sessions. As with all of our presets, these work best on images taken in open shade or during golden hour.

YOUR PALETTE
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
Check the included files and your Adobe app before you order.
Use the supplied preset format in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom mobile (XMP import or cloud sync). Adobe software is purchased separately.
Apply one look, then check Exposure, white balance, highlights, shadows, and important detail for that photograph.
RAW files, such as Nikon NEF and Canon CR3, provide the most editing latitude. Existing JPEG and HEIC photographs can be edited, but their result and recovery latitude differ.
These XMP files use Adobe Standard. Adobe Standard is a RAW profile; JPEG and HEIC files cannot receive that full profile treatment.
These XMP presets do not support the Amount slider. Refine the individual editing controls after applying a look.
The named set includes 1 black-and-white look.
One license covers the person or business named on the order, including client photographs. Keep the preset files within that licensed person or business.
IN YOUR EDITING WORKFLOW
Apply one Pastel Matte preset to a representative photograph.
Adjust Exposure, Temperature, and Tint for the subject and light, then inspect highlights, shadows, and important detail.
Copy the edit to photographs made in similar light, then check each image and adjust the exceptions.

Love all of the LR presets I have purchased from Twig & Olive Photography and I have purchased most now! They make my photography feel next level and have cohesion throughout my work.
