Deepens Dark Tones to Add Depth

Deep Blacks. Clover preset adds greater depth and detail by adjusting a photo’s dark tones. Blacks are intensified while shadows are lightened to add some balance.

You can observe the result in the above After photo. The branches look darker, blacker, but not flat. This soft improvements give a bold look without altering the colors too much.

Gives a Soft and Vibrant Glow

Soft and Vibrant. When applied to portraits, you will notice how Clover’s improvements flatter skin tones. This will look great on newborn or children photos, for example, especially if you want the result to have a tender yet vibrant look and feel, without having to alter much of the original composition.

After all, you do not have to lost some saturation to achieve a soft look — this is usually the concern some have over soft matte presets. Unlike these, Clover creates its signature soft-but-vibrant effect by adding a pastel magenta tint and increasing vibrance.

Notice the result in the After photo above: the girl’s portrait looks warmer and softer in magenta. What a charming look, isn’t it? It somehow sets a dreamy atmosphere.

Sets a Romantic or Surreal Mood

Charming Pastels. Look at the above image of roses: the pastel magenta hues, plus the boost in vibrance, has made the photo stunning and emotive. The effect is subtle yet the difference they make is amazing.

The roses in the After photo look fresher and livelier now. You can also notice the magenta tint more on the wall, given its intricate hues.

Sharpens the Photo’s Textures and Details
