Meet Pastel Matte

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 and Adobe Camera Raw, 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.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Make sure it fits
your workflow.

Check the included files and your Adobe app before you order.

Supported Adobe workflow

Use the supplied preset format in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, Adobe Camera Raw, Lightroom mobile (XMP import or cloud sync). Adobe software is purchased separately.

Start with the photograph

Apply one look, then check Exposure, white balance, highlights, shadows, and important detail for that photograph.

File type

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.

Profile basis

These XMP files use Adobe Standard. Adobe Standard is a RAW profile; JPEG and HEIC files cannot receive that full profile treatment.

Preset Amount

These XMP presets do not support the Amount slider. Refine the individual editing controls after applying a look.

Black-and-white looks

The named set includes 1 black-and-white look.

Personal and commercial use

One license covers the person or business named on the order, including client photographs. Keep the preset files within that licensed person or business.

Make the finish your own.

01

Choose one look

Apply one Pastel Matte preset to a representative photograph.

02

Set brightness and color

Adjust Exposure, Temperature, and Tint for the subject and light, then inspect highlights, shadows, and important detail.

03

Carry the look carefully

Copy the edit to photographs made in similar light, then check each image and adjust the exceptions.

Why does my photograph look different?
