THE QUARTZ ARCHIVE — 10 PRESETS, ONE EDITORIAL PHILOSOPHY
The Quartz Archive is built around cross-processed film color — the distinctive aesthetic created when film is developed in the wrong chemical process, producing color shifts that were unpredictable, bold, and immediately recognizable.
Cross-processing became the language of editorial and fashion photography in the 1990s and 2000s. It is specific, deliberate, and unlike anything else in photography. Greens shift toward cyan. Shadows take on unexpected tones. Highlights pull in a different direction. The result feels intentional rather than naturalistic.
Ten presets covering the full range of cross-processed editorial expression — from subtle and accessible to bold and experimental. They build on the same color philosophy and give photographers a complete editorial toolkit in a single collection.
Apply in one click. Fine-tune exposure. Done.
The 10 Quartz Film Presets
Q1 — Clean Cross The most accessible preset in the collection. A subtle, slightly warm cross-processed quality that adds distinctive color character without being obvious. The best starting point for photographers new to editorial editing.
Q2 — Cool Editorial Cooler and more refined than Q1. A clean editorial quality with controlled color shifts. Best for fashion and lifestyle content where a modern, sophisticated cross-processed look is wanted.
Q3 — Bold Shift Stronger color shift than Q1 and Q2. The cross-processed character becomes immediately apparent. Best for creative photography where the editorial color is part of the visual statement.
Q4 — Warm Cross Warm, golden cross-processed tones. A richer, more organic quality than the cooler presets. Best for outdoor editorial work in warm light where the golden quality enhances the ambient warmth.
Q5 — Deep Cinematic Deep, rich color with a cinematic quality. Strong tonal depth combined with cross-processed color shifts. Best for travel and editorial photography where maximum visual impact is wanted.
Q6 — Cool Moody Cool and atmospheric cross-processed quality. A moodier, more restrained expression of the cross-processed aesthetic. Best for urban photography and editorial content where cool depth is the goal.
Q7 — Vibrant Bold The most vivid preset in the collection. Bold, vibrant color shifts with strong editorial presence. Best for creative and fashion photography where the color is the point.
Q8 — Soft Faded A softer, more faded expression of cross-processed film. Subtle color shifts combined with a gentle fade quality. Best for lifestyle and travel photography where you want editorial character without full boldness.
Q9 — High Contrast Dramatic tonal range with strong cross-processed color. The highest contrast preset in the collection. Best for scenes with strong directional light where the contrast and color shifts work together.
Q10 — Experimental The most characterful and distinctive preset in the collection. Maximum cross-processed expression — bold, unexpected color, strong visual identity. Best for creative and artistic photography where standing out is the intention.
Why ten presets instead of one editorial look?
Cross-processed film was never consistent. The color shifts varied depending on the film stock, the chemical process, the exposure, and the lab. Some cross-processed photos came out warm and golden. Others came out cool and green-shifted. Some were subtle. Others were dramatic.
The Quartz Archive captures that natural variation across ten calibrated presets. Subtle and accessible at one end. Bold and experimental at the other. Ten distinct expressions of the same cross-processed color philosophy — so you can match the editorial character to the specific mood and subject of every shoot.
Most photographers pay $10 per preset. You pay $2.70.
Ten editorial film presets for the price of three individual presets.
