Look Overview
expand_more
- Everyday Gold → A timeless, versatile base look with natural warmth, clear definition and balanced color tones – perfect for everyday photography, travel and visual storytelling. Everyday Gold brings calm to the image while preserving glow and depth.
- Golden Boost → A warm, vibrant look with golden highlights and a hint of turquoise in the sky – ideal for sunny days, Mediterranean tones and colorful storytelling. Golden Boost creates a cinematic glow without ever becoming loud.
- Muted Depth → A subtly desaturated look with subdued tones and soft contrast – perfect for quiet stories, calm landscapes and understated portraits. Muted Depth evokes a dimmed, atmospheric mood with cinematic depth.
- Warm Drift → A soft golden look with gentle warmth and natural skin tones – ideal for afternoon light, travel and family moments. Warm Drift turns ordinary light into a calm, cinematic glow.
- Cold Drift → A cool-toned look with crisp contours, neutral color rendering and subtle structure – ideal for urban scenes, overcast skies and modern architecture. Cold Drift brings clarity and restraint, with just a touch of cinematic depth.
- Silverlight (B&W) → A bright black and white look with fine structure, soft contrast and poetic highlights – ideal for misty landscapes, quiet waters and bright street scenes. Silverlight creates a delicate, film-like monochrome aesthetic.
- Mono Journal (B&W) → A documentary-style black and white look with soft tonality, quiet atmosphere and journalistic character – perfect for reportage, street photography and analog-inspired fine art. Mono Journal balances depth and stillness.
- Eclipse (B&W) → A bold black and white look with strong contrast, rich blacks and slightly held-back highlights – ideal for dramatic light, day or night. Eclipse is the daylight-ready sister of Midnight – powerful yet controlled.
- Midnight (B&W) → A deep, high-contrast black and white look with dark shadows, cool highlights and maximum reduction – perfect for nighttime, neon light and intense visual moods. Midnight is uncompromising, atmospheric, and visually distinct.
Creator’s Note & Vision
expand_more
The Truelight Creator Bundle was created with a clear philosophy:
not to chase trendy, oversaturated looks, but to provide a calmer, more cinematic alternative across both photo and video.
Each preset and LUT is built for quiet realism – grounded contrast, natural tones, and visual restraint that supports authentic storytelling.
By combining the Truelight Photo Presets for Nikon RAW and Truelight Video LUTs for Nikon N-Log, the bundle creates a unified visual style across still and moving images.
Please note: while presets and LUTs are technically aligned, they cannot be 100% identical, since photo and video workflows differ. Instead, they are crafted to echo the same cinematic mood, tonality, and visual fingerprint.
The bundle includes both packs together, offering photographers and filmmakers a consistent Truelight aesthetic across their entire Nikon photo and video workflow.

– JPEGs are supported, but results may vary slightly - Camera compatibility: Optimized for Nikon RAW files
– Developed for modern Nikon Z-series files
– Also compatible with other major camera brands, though tonal variations may occur due to different camera profiles and color science

Video LUTs
- Nikon N-Log / BT.2020
- Formats: .cube (33pt & 65pt)
- Supported software: DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and other LUT-compatible editors
- No additional Nikon technical LUT required – the conversion to Rec.709 is already integrated

– Use with other gamma profiles or camera brands is not recommended without a proper input transform - Workflow note: The LUTs are all-in-one and can be applied directly to properly recorded Nikon N-Log footage
– In color-managed workflows such as DaVinci Resolve YRGB Color Managed or ACES, make sure the footage is not converted to Rec.709 a second time, as this would result in a double transform
