  • 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

The Truelight Presets were created with a clear philosophy:

not to chase trendy, oversaturated “Instagram looks,” but to provide a calmer, more cinematic alternative.


Each preset is built for quiet realism – grounded contrast, natural tones, and visual restraint that supports authentic storytelling.

These photo presets are carefully designed to match the aesthetics of the Truelight Video LUTs, so you can build a unified style across photo and video.

Please note: while the presets are technically aligned with the video LUTs, 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 Truelight Video LUTs are available separately for filmmakers who wish to extend the same look to moving images.
