THE GOLDEN HOUR ARCHIVE: Chase the Light

There is a brief window of time, just before the sun dips below the horizon, where everything becomes art. The Golden Hour Archive is designed to bottle that magic. Whether you missed the perfect light or want to enhance the warmth of your summer memories, this collection brings a radiant, sun-drenched glow to every shot.

Forget harsh orange filters. This archive uses sophisticated color grading inspired by the most beloved warm aesthetics (M6, C1, G3 and M5) to create a natural, "lit from within" look. It’s the ultimate companion for beach days, rooftop golden hours, and sunset wanderlust.

The Presets Explained (4 Variations Included):

  • Golden No. 1 (The Sun-Drenched / M6 Inspired): Our bestseller for a reason. It creates a rich, vintage warmth with beautifully tinted shadows. The go-to preset for that "summer in Italy" aesthetic.

  • Golden No. 2 (The Honey Glow / C1 Inspired): A bright and clean golden look. It emphasizes the "Honey" tones in the highlights while keeping your whites crisp. Perfect for golden hour outfits and lifestyle content.

  • Golden No. 3 (The Sunset Haze / M5 Inspired): Moody, soft, and slightly underexposed. This preset captures the hazy, romantic feeling of the last few minutes of sunlight. It adds depth and a matte film finish to your shadows.

  • Golden No. 4 (The Golden Film / G3 Inspired): A punchy, vibrant film-inspired edit. It makes the oranges and reds of a sunset pop while maintaining glowing, radiant skin tones.

      Step 3: Choose Your Summer Vibe

      • Select No. 1 (M6) for that vintage, sun-drenched "Summer in Italy" aesthetic with moody, tinted shadows.

      • Select No. 2 (C1) for a bright, vibrant, and energetic glow that makes your beach and travel photos pop.

      • Select No. 3 (M5) for a soft, hazy sunset look with a romantic, matte film finish.

      • Select No. 4 (G3) for a punchy, professional film-inspired edit that makes oranges and reds stand out while keeping skin tones radiant.

      Step 4: Master the Haze Pro-tip: To enhance the dreamy, romantic feeling of a sunset, go to the "Effects" panel and slightly lower the "Dehaze" slider. This adds a soft-focus "bloom" to your highlights, mimicking a real sun flare.
