Atmospheric, desaturated, and cinematic.

The F-Series Archive is the ultimate collection for the minimalist storyteller. Inspired by the "Mellow & Fade" film aesthetic, these presets are designed to strip away digital harshness and replace it with a moody, cinematic soul. This boutique Value Pack features 3 professional presets that excel at underexposing scenes and washing out colors to create a soft, muted atmosphere. Whether you are capturing quiet city moments, moody interiors, or understated fashion, the F-Series brings a tactile, "faded" quality to your shots. We’ve reimagined these 3 legendary styles for Lightroom to provide deep tonal texture and a timeless, matte finish on any device.

The Presets Explained (3 Variations Included):

  • F1 | The Mellow Standard: The quintessential "fade" look. It softens highlights and lifts shadows into a beautiful charcoal-grey, providing a balanced, desaturated finish.

  • F2 | The Moody Underexposed: Optimized for a darker, more atmospheric vibe. This variation deepens the mood while maintaining a soft, matted texture in the blacks.

  • F3 | The Faded Editorial: A slightly cleaner take on the fade aesthetic, designed to keep whites crisp while muting the surrounding color palette for a high-end, minimalist look.
