These presets will bring the exposure down and you’ll have dark tones in your image as you see in the before/after imagery below. You gotta set the exposure for every image to get the best out of this pack.

Sometimes the presets will give you a high contrast moody look. But don’t worry you can easily create a soft moody look by reducing the contrast. You can also increase the shadows levels for soft effect using the Curve Tool. Download the presets below to get started with that moody look.

      You are welcome, Sanjeel. A quick tip, after applying any preset, bring down the exposure further to get a dark moody toning.

      Hey,

      It’s a zip file, you’ll need winrar to extract it. Please download the winrar and then extract all the presets.

      Thanks,

      Hi Samantha,

      I am sorry for the inconvenience. You’ll find three folder inside it as you can see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cy90c12wd6crtx/samantha-1.jpg?dl=0 and inside the Mobile folder you’ll find the presets for mobile as you can see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b4pqw65grx2bj13/samantha.jpg?dl=0

      Please make sure you have located them in your mobile or desktop after the extraction.

      Let me know if you have questions!

      Thanks,
      Bunty

    Thank you for this, but I think there’s a problem with the DNG files for mobile. I have downloaded it but all the images are not opening and are just showing a loading icon that’s why it can’t be imported into Lightroom.

    Reply
    • Bunty Pundir says

      December 14, 2023 at 11:59 pm

      They won’t open, the images that you are seeing these are DNG files, please use the Lightroom Mobile app to open them.
