June Preset: Overcast Tokyo

Published: June 29th 2023, 8:04:42 pm

Dear everyone,

it's time again to present to you this month's preset! :)

Inspired by photographs that I took in Tokyo on partly overcast days I created this more punchy and moody look that for these photographs.

I would describe this preset as mildly moody with muted greens. The examples in the previews show that it works best on rather flatly lit scenes such as Tokyo in this case on an overcast day. However you can see I also tried it on a shot of chairs in the train station to test the look in artificial lighting and I think it does a good job. Also the photograph next to that demonstrates the look on skin tones.

As always I want to add the disclaimer, that these presets are not one-click solutions to the editing process... but almost. In the previews I've always written the three settings that I tweaked after applying the preset - those are White Balance, Tint and Exposure. Apply the preset and adjust those three settings and you should be good. :)

Hope you enjoy it,

Teo

P.S: Very exciting news - I'm travelling to Italy tomorrow to photograph an elopement on Saturday. Due to this and the preparations going on and other projects that kept me very busy this month I'm sadly going to have to delay this month's Patreon video and the wallpapers :( I've already recorded the video, but haven't gotten around to editing it yet. I'll try to get those to you too as soon as possible, just so you know! <3
