V-Series Modern Classic | V1 Velvet Archive for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.95

Muted, cinematic, and timeless.

The V-Series is the "Quiet Luxury" of the Modern Classic collection. V1 is the Velvet Editorial essential—designed for the photographer who wants a look that feels incredibly soft, yet deeply atmospheric. V1 is characterized by its compressed tonal range, where shadows are lifted into a matte charcoal and highlights are rolled off into a warm, creamy finish. It is the perfect choice for intimate portraits, moody lifestyle, and artistic travel archives where the goal is a look that feels like a hand-printed film scan on matte paper.

The Preset Explained

V1 | The Velvet Matte: A low-to-medium contrast grade with a signature "Faded-Film" finish. This preset delivers a soft, breathable tonal range that eliminates harsh digital blacks. It replaces high-vibrancy colors with a sophisticated, desaturated palette, providing a look that is both nostalgic and modernly minimalist.

    • Matte Shadow Depth V1 replaces "inky" blacks with a soft, velvet-charcoal fade, giving your images an instant editorial and artistic feel.

    • Muted Color Harmony It excels at neutralizing distracting, bright colors, blending them into a cohesive, earthy spectrum that feels expensive and restrained.

    • Dreamy Light Softening The preset creates a subtle "bloom" around highlights, making skin tones look incredibly soft and neutralizing any digital harshness.

    • Tactile Texture By reducing global contrast while protecting micro-details, V1 emphasizes the quality of fabrics, skin, and natural light.

    • 1x V1 Velvet Matte Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

    • 1x V1 Velvet Matte Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

    • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • This preset captures the aesthetic of professional "underexposed" film that has been scanned with a high-end matte profile. It is the professional answer for those who want their work to feel tactile and poetic. By emulating the characteristic "dusty" shadows and the warm, neutral color science of vintage fashion journals celebrated for their ability to evoke a sense of calm and mystery V1 ensures your photos possess a luxurious, archival quality. It transforms digital files into frames that look like they were pulled from a 35mm film archive from the 1990s.

    • The Foundation: V1 works best with soft, diffused light—think window light, overcast days, or shadowed street scenes.

    • Apply V1: Watch as the contrast softens and the frame takes on a beautiful, "faded-glory" cinematic aesthetic.

    • Exposure Tweaks: V1 is a "moody" matte preset. If the image feels too dark, lift the Exposure to keep that "airy" but faded feel.

    • Saturation Nudge: If you want a specific "vintage" color to stand out, slightly increase the Saturation of that specific color in the HSL panel.

    • The Final Touch: Add Fine Grain to enhance the "printed on paper" aesthetic that defines the V1 look.
