THE CALIFORNIA ARCHIVE — 9 PRESETS, ONE GOLDEN PHILOSOPHY

The California Archive is built around warm, vibrant film color that makes outdoor and travel photography feel alive.

Not orange. Not oversaturated. Just the warmth of good light, properly rendered — enhanced without being forced.

Golden highlights that feel earned. Skin tones that stay natural within a warm palette. Blues that deepen rather than wash out. Greens that shift toward the organic rather than the digital.

Nine presets covering the full range of warm outdoor photography — from clean and subtle to bold and sun-drenched. They work together, look related, and give you the right tool for every lighting condition from soft morning light to full golden hour.

The 9 California Presets, One Philosophy

C1 — Clean Warm The baseline California look. Clean, lightly warm tones with subtle desaturation. The most versatile starting point — works across everyday outdoor, travel, and lifestyle photography where you want warmth without drama.

C2 — Warm Fade Warmer than C1 with a slight fade quality. Soft contrast, golden midtones, a gentle analog warmth. Best for lifestyle and portrait photography in warm natural light.

C3 — Bold Teal The most cinematic preset in the collection. Teal shadows with warm orange highlights — a bold, sun-soaked look with strong color character. Best for travel photography and colorful outdoor scenes where maximum visual impact is wanted.

C4 — Cool Outdoor The only cool-leaning preset in the collection. Blue-green tones with controlled contrast. Best for coastal photography, overcast outdoor scenes, and any environment where the cooler quality of the light is part of the character.

C5 — Summer Warm Warm, summery, and slightly more vibrant than C1 and C2. Enhanced golden tones and natural color life. Best for outdoor lifestyle and travel photography in bright summer conditions.

C6 — Cool Contrast Cooler and more contrasty than the rest of the collection. A bold, clean look with stronger tonal separation. Best for architecture and travel photography where clean lines and structure are the focus.

C7 — Rich Warm Warm and vibrant with rich color rendering. More saturated than C1-C5 but not as bold as C8. Best for golden hour travel and outdoor photography where you want color that feels rich and full.

C8 — Sun-Drenched The boldest and most vibrant preset in the collection. Electric color, sun-soaked highlights, maximum warm vibrancy. Best for travel in colorful environments — Mediterranean architecture, tropical landscapes, vibrant markets. The look that turns a good photo into a statement.

C9 — Dark Warm The moodiest preset in the collection. Warm but significantly darker than C1-C8. Rich, deep shadows with warm midtones. Best for golden hour and travel photography where you want warmth and depth rather than brightness and vibrancy.

Why nine presets instead of one warm filter?

One warm filter works in one lighting condition.

Morning light is different from midday. Coastal light is different from desert. Overcast warmth is different from golden hour. A single warm preset applied across all of these looks inconsistent because it is.

The California Archive gives you nine calibrated presets — from cool coastal (C4) to bold sun-drenched (C8) — so you can match the preset to the light rather than fighting the light with the wrong preset.

Most photographers pay $10 per preset. You pay $3.

That's the math when you buy a system instead of a single filter.

Want more than 9 presets?

The Studio Archive contains every preset collection we make — 130+ presets for $89. That's $0.68 per preset, and it includes every new preset we release for life.
