Step 1: The Sunset Setup Import The Golden Hour Archive into your Lightroom app. These presets are designed to act as your digital sun, adding warmth even to overcast days.
Step 2: Capture the Glow These presets perform best with "golden" light. For the most authentic look, shoot during the hour before sunset or use photos where the light is coming from the side to create those beautiful, long shadows.
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.
Step 5: Share the Warmth Consistency is the secret to a professional feed. Use the Golden Hour Archive to give your entire vacation album or summer series a cohesive, warm story. Tag @TheEditingStudio and use #GoldenHourArchive to be featured in our Summer Showcase.
