Glow Portrait 01 Clean Glow | Portrait Film Preset for Lightroom Mobile & Desktop

G1 is for portrait, wedding, and lifestyle photographers whose primary subject is people and whose priority is natural, flattering skin rendering across varied lighting conditions.

For photographers who have found general film presets too heavy on the warmth or too muted on the skin — G1's portrait-specific calibration addresses both directly.

Skin looks luminous, not bright. G1's glow quality is in the skin tone range specifically — Orange Luminance elevated, saturation controlled. The result is luminous rather than overexposed.

It works across diverse skin tones. The portrait-specific calibration of G1 produces natural results on light, medium, and deep skin tones — a calibration that general film presets do not have.

It is the most consistent portrait preset. Apply across a full portrait session and skin rendering stays consistent as lighting changes — the glow adapts rather than shifts.

This preset captures the light, desaturated aesthetic similar to the legendary G1 filters. It’s the perfect professional alternative for those wanting an analog look that feels "quiet" and artistic. By emulating the look of high-speed film shot on a cloudy day and developed for low contrast, the G1 ensures your digital shots have a polished, art-house finish.

G1 works across all portrait lighting conditions — the clean, neutral-warm character handles daylight, overcast, and warm window light equally well.

White balance: 5,200-5,500K for outdoor daylight, 5,800-6,200K for overcast. G1's clean character does not require aggressive warmth before applying.

On phone photos: 82-85% strength.

What is the difference between G1 and G2? G1 is the clean, versatile baseline — neutral-warm with natural glow. G2 Warm Glow is warmer with a more pronounced golden glow quality. G1 for natural light portrait sessions across varied conditions, G2 for golden hour and warm light sessions where more warmth is appropriate.

Does G1 work for newborn photography? Yes — G1's soft, clean, luminous quality is well-suited to newborn photography. The gentle glow and natural skin rendering suit the delicate, warm subject matter.
