Luminous, high-key, and silver-toned elegance.

The X5 is the final evolution of the monochrome archive. While the previous X-presets focus on grain, fade, or drama, the X5 is designed for the Platinum Print aesthetic. This is the luxury monochrome essential—focused on wide dynamic range, radiant highlights, and a clean, high-fidelity finish. It is the perfect choice for high-end fashion, wedding photography, and clean studio portraits.

The Preset Explained

X5 | The Platinum Lume: This preset delivers a "luminous" black and white look with an emphasis on the upper-midtones. It features a sophisticated tonal curve that prevents highlights from clipping while simultaneously lifting the overall brightness of the frame. The result is a silver-toned image that feels expensive, airy, and incredibly polished. It mimics the rare platinum-palladium printing process, known for its vast tonal range and "inner glow.

The X Advanced Archive | 6 High-Fidelity Film Presets for Lightroom & Mobile
 
    • Radiant High-Key Finish X5 excels at creating a bright, airy monochrome look without losing the essential details in the brightest parts of the image.

    • Creamy Highlight Roll-off It creates a signature "glow" around light sources and skin, giving your photos a dreamlike yet sharp quality.

    • Clean Digital Polish Unlike the grittier X3 or X1, X5 provides a smooth, low-grain finish that looks remarkably "clean" and high-resolution.

    • Timeless Luxury Aesthetic The silver-toning adds a level of professional "sheen" that makes images look like they were commissioned for a high-end editorial spread.

    • 1x X5 Platinum Lume Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

    • 1x X5 Platinum Lume Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

    • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • X5 is inspired by Large Format film (8x10) and the legendary Platinum-Palladium printing technique. Unlike standard silver gelatin prints, platinum prints are known for their incredible detail in the highlights and their matte, yet glowing, appearance. By emulating this ultra-smooth tonal transition and the high-key luminosity of museum-grade archives, X5 ensures your work feels sophisticated and elite. It transforms modern digital captures into timeless, gallery-ready masterpieces.

    • The Foundation: X5 works best with bright, clean backgrounds and soft, ample light. It loves white-on-white compositions or backlit subjects.

    • Apply X5: Watch as the image brightens and the highlights take on a rich, metallic silver quality.

    • Whites & Highlights: Use the Whites slider to control the "brightness" of the glow. If the image feels too flat, push the whites up to add more "silver" sparkle.

    • Contrast Balance: If you want a more modern look, slightly increase the Contrast to sharpen the edges against the bright background.
