M3 Modern Classic | Dreamy Faded & Hazy Vintage Preset for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.95

M3 Preset: Your daily essential for a soft, hazy, and beautifully faded vintage film look.

The M3 is for the romantics. It’s designed to recreate the look of vintage film that’s been slightly over-exposed to soft, hazy light. This preset features the most iconic "film-fade" of the entire collection—lifting the blacks into a soft charcoal grey and washing the highlights in a delicate, milky glow. We’ve reimagined this iconic aesthetic for The Editing Studio to deliver a professional finish that feels ethereal and weightless. It’s the definitive choice for an editorial feed that feels dazed, dreamy, and nostalgic.

The Preset Explained:

M3: The faded-vintage standard; celebrated for its low-contrast look, pastel-leaning tones, and a professional "haze" that turns every digital photo into a soft, analog masterpiece.

    Step-by-Step Guide for easy installation and professional results.

  • This preset captures the soft, over-exposed aesthetic similar to the legendary M3 filters. It’s the perfect professional alternative for those wanting an analog-inspired look that feels light and airy yet nostalgically old-school. By emulating the look of expired vintage film stocks shot in bright, diffused light, the M3 ensures your digital shots have a polished, "dream-like" finish.

  • Step 1: Get Started Download your M3 Essence presets and install them. You’re moments away from a softer, more ethereal feed.

    Step 2: Set the Scene Import photos with soft lighting—think overcast skies, back-lit subjects, or minimalist indoor scenes.

    Step 3: The Transformation Apply M3 with one tap. Watch the contrast melt away and the vintage haze transform your image with professional soul.

    Step 4: Make it Yours Since M3 is naturally lower in contrast, try boosting the "Whites" or reducing the "Clarity" even further to lean into the dream-state vibe.

    Step 5: Share your Glow Tag @theeditingstudio—we love seeing your dreamy, faded stories!
