Brightens Images for a Summer Look and Feel
Under the Sun. A Summer Affair preset increases the photo’s exposure to boost the look of your captured moments under the sun. It does not overdo it; it retains the natural look of the image and only improves it.
See the above After photo and observe how brighter and more attractive it has become. To balance out this boost in light, the preset also mellows the contrast to retain the image’s original tones. This combination of enhancements look incredible on skin tones, as you can see in the photo above.
Infuses Photos with Warm Summer Hues
Bright as Sunshine. This preset can improve lighting in shaded areas as well. Instead of plainly increasing the exposure further, the filter increases shadows, whites, and blacks for softer dark tones and brighter whites.
Notice how the A Summer Affair preset heightens the tropical atmosphere. You can use it even to simply make your outdoor photos lively. Apply this filter on any photo that you wish to share in social media like Instagram. Continue to read more about it in the following example.
Makes Details and Colors Pop
Joyful Summer. This summer preset enhances multiple elements in an image, from fine textures to its full range of colors. These adjustments are essential to fully express the emotions of the moment. For this, the preset increases clarity and vibrance.
Let us examine this effect on the After photo above. It is amazing to see how much detail is revealed in the water splashes. They somehow feel more tactile. The other highlight is, of course, the boy’s more radiant expression. You can see more of his exuberant reaction. Notice how the preset enhances his skin tone, too.
Fine-tunes Colors for Intricate Warm Hues
Rich Warm Hues. What sets this preset apart is the way it warms a photo. It is not merely a boost in the color temperature slider. It applies layers of color adjustments to give you warm and organic results.
A Summer Affair preset decreases the saturation of red colors in an image. These softer reds will subtly be visible on skin tones and rough terrain. You can easily spot this in the example above.
The preset also increases green, blue, and aqua color saturation. This set of tweaks is highly visible in outdoor photography; these are after all the colors of nature. To enhance this effect further, the preset further sharpens the details.
Look at the overall result now. With this outdoor vacation preset, all photographic elements are enhanced and brought to life.
