A collection of film-leaning presets shaped by people, places, and imperfect moments. Built through street photography, personal work, and commercial shoots, these edits prioritise feeling over perfection - adding texture, depth, and a quiet sense of time to your images.
Soft & Grain is about subtle contrast, gentle colour shifts, and organic grain come together to create photographs that feel lived-in and honest, not overly polished or trend-driven. The perfectly imperfect look of film, but digital.
Please note I am not trying to emulate a specific film stock. Instead, these presets draw from the character of film - its softness, imperfection, and timeless quality - interpreted through a modern digital workflow.
Best used on RAW files for full control
Not one-click fixes - creative starting points
Designed for people, street, documentary & lifestyle photography
Classic tones with a soft, textured finish
Quiet. Filmic. Human.
The Collection contains 9 presets along with a PDF how to use / install:
1. Bare Analogue - Subtle tonal balance and gentle colour correction - designed as a clean analogue-style base or layering preset.
2. Cold Fade - Cool-toned contrast with softened highlights - ideal for restrained colour.
3. Crushed Mono - Low contrast, crushed blacks for a soft black & white - soft, gentle and classic.
4. Dark Mono - High-contrast black & white with deep shadows and texture - bold, graphic, and expressive.
5. Lived Colour - Rich, imperfect colour with organic grain - vibrant without polish, human by design.
6. Moody Film - Film-leaning tones with added depth and texture - cinematic, restrained, character-led and a moodier, darker feel.
7. Soft Chrome - Clean, minimal colour with gentle cool shadows - bright, balanced, and modern.
8. Warm Cinematic - Warm midtones with controlled contrast - designed for story-led scenes and natural light.
9. Warm Fade - Soft warmth with relaxed highlights - flattering, calm, and timeless.
