V-Series Modern Classic | V2 Velvet Archive for Lightroom & Mobile

$9.95

Cool, sophisticated, and ethereal.

While V1 provides a neutral baseline, V2 shifts the "Velvet" aesthetic into a cooler, more contemporary spectrum. This is the Slate & Silk essential—designed for the photographer who wants a matte finish with a distinct, high-end "cool-tone" bias. V2 is characterized by its subtle blue-cyan shadow undertones and crisp, clean highlights. It is the perfect choice for minimalist architecture, winter lifestyle, and editorial portraits where you want a look that feels fresh, calm, and intellectually "cool."

The Preset Explained

V2 | The Velvet Steel: A medium-density grade with a signature "Cool-Matte" finish. This preset delivers a refined tonal range that neutralizes warm distractions, pulling the overall image into a harmonious, slate-leaning palette. It replaces traditional black levels with a soft, navy-charcoal lift, providing a cinematic "Nordic" aesthetic that feels both spacious and intentional.

    • Slate-Tinted Shadows V2 replaces warm or muddy blacks with a clean, cool-charcoal fade, adding an instant "designer" feel to your compositions.

      • Neutralized Warmth It excels at taming unwanted yellow and orange casts, making interiors and skin tones look balanced and sophisticated.

      • Ethereal Morning Light The preset creates a "chilled" atmosphere, making even midday shots look like they were captured in the soft, blue light of a quiet morning.

      • Clean Minimalist Palette By pulling colors toward a cool-neutral spectrum, V2 creates a highly consistent and professional look for a modern portfolio.

      • 1x V2 Cool Velvet Matte Preset for Lightroom MOBILE (DNG file for iOS & Android).

      • 1x V2 Cool Velvet Matte Preset for Lightroom DESKTOP (XMP file for Mac & Windows).

      • Easy Step-by-Step Installation Guide.

  • This preset captures the aesthetic of professional "Tungsten-balanced" film when shot in natural daylight and processed for a matte finish. It is the professional answer for those who want their work to feel modern and detached from "warm" digital trends. By emulating the characteristic cool-color crossover and the soft, silver-like highlight roll-off of high-end cinematic emulsions—V2 ensures your photos possess a sleek, archival quality. It transforms digital files into frames that look like they were pulled from a minimalist Scandinavian design magazine.

    • The Foundation: V2 works best with neutral colors—whites, grays, blues, and blacks—and performs beautifully in diffused or "cold" light.

      • Apply V2: Watch as the frame takes on a sophisticated, cool-matte aesthetic with lifted, silk-like shadows.

      • Skin Balance: If the cool tones make skin look too "pale," use the Temperature slider to add a touch of warmth back; the matte shadow profile will remain.

      • Detail Control: Since V2 has a soft finish, use the Clarity slider if you want to bring back some "bite" to architectural lines or textures.

      • The Final Touch: Add Fine Grain to maintain that high-end, "printed on silk" archival texture.
