Q-Series Modern Classic | Q10 Quiet Archive for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.99

Ethereal, matte, and timeless.

The final evolution of the collection, Q10, is the "Fine Art" crown jewel of the series. This is the Deep Moody Matte essential—designed for the ultimate minimalist. Q10 focuses on the extreme compression of tones, creating a velvet-like texture where shadows are lifted into a soft charcoal haze and highlights are rolled off into a creamy, off-white finish. It is the perfect choice for high-end studio portraits, still life, and ethereal lifestyle photography where the goal is a look that is as much a painting as it is a photograph.

The Preset Explained

Q10 | The Quiet Fine Art: The most refined and "low-contrast" of the deep-moody grades. This preset delivers a signature "Matte-Density" aesthetic, characterized by its faded blacks and monochromatic color restraint. It strips away the digital "pop" to reveal a soft, textural world of gray-scales and muted earth tones, providing a look of unparalleled sophistication and calm.

    • Velvet Shadow Lift Q10 specializes in "lifted blacks," turning harsh shadows into a smooth, charcoal-colored haze that adds instant depth and a high-end matte finish.

      • Ethereal Light Softening It creates a subtle "bloom" effect on highlights, making skin tones look incredibly soft and neutralizing any digital harshness.

      • Monochromatic Color Restraint The palette is pulled into a tight, neutral spectrum, making it the perfect choice for a clean, minimalist, and luxury-focused portfolio.

      • Textural Sophistication By reducing global contrast while protecting micro-details, Q10 emphasizes the quality of fabrics, the grain of paper, and the softness of light.

    • 1x Q10 Deep Moody Matte Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

    • 1x Q10 Deep Moody Matte Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

    • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • This preset captures the aesthetic of high-end medium format film prints on heavy matte paper. It is the professional answer for photographers who want their work to feel tactile and artistic. By emulating the expanded shadow detail and the characteristic "flat" tonal curve of professional archival emulsions—known for their ability to render soft light with a poetic, dreamy quality—Q10 ensures your photos feel like a heritage gallery piece. It transforms digital files into frames that possess the quiet, expensive soul of a curated art book.

  • The Foundation: Q10 works best with soft, diffused light—think large windows, overcast days, or studio softboxes.

    • Apply Q10: Watch as the image transforms into a soft, matte masterpiece with deep, breathable shadows.

      • Contrast Tuning: To keep the "Fine Art" look, resist the urge to add contrast. Instead, use the Blacks slider to anchor the image if it feels too "airy."

      • Tone Control: If the image feels too neutral, a tiny nudge to the Temp slider will add a beautiful, subtle warmth to the matte highlights.

      • The Final Touch: Add Fine Grain to enhance the "printed on paper" aesthetic that defines the Q10 look.
