A classic instant film-inspired preset that brings soft contrast, warm tones, and a subtle vintage fade to your photos.
Free Instant 100 Lightroom Preset
Instant 100 is built for portraits, travel, and everyday moments where a nostalgic, analog feel fits naturally. It softens contrast, warms the color palette, and adds a light vintage fade, giving photos creamy highlights and natural colors instead of a heavy filtered look. It reads as film, not as an Instagram effect stacked on top of a photo.
