Creates a Distinct Cozy Feel
Pastel Brown. The preset creates its unique appeal by blending some warm browns and soft magenta. To create this stylish aesthetic, it first increases the warm temperature of the image. It then adds some subtle magenta tint. Even with these two adjustments alone, you already have a nice and gentle layer of mocha hues.
The preset proceeds to further enhance this effect. To accentuate some depth, it also adds some warm brown to highlights and shadows. It complements this by amplifying contrast as well, to intensify some colors.
You can examine the result in the above example. Notice how the added layer makes the pie look sweeter, more delectable, and simply comforting. This preset is definitely great for desserts.
Softens Tones for a Matte Look
Moderated Tones. Soft Flatlay compresses tones to make them look soft and even. It also creates its notable matte aesthetic. For specifically, it softens whites and highlights, while it lightens blacks and shadows. These are even more intricately tweaked in the tone curve.
These even tones are best for flatlay; after all, you want the elements to look even, without harsh tones — ideally, too, the image should have little to no contrast between highlights and shadows. This can be difficult if photographing from above, and if you have uneven lighting. In such cases, you will find Soft Flatlay preset essential.
Moderates Color Intensity
Undersaturation. To go with the overall motif, the preset lowers the saturation of colors. This makes them less intense. Then, it also slightly decreases vibrance to further soften some hues.
On the other hand, and to balance out these improvements, it also amplifies clarity. This ensures that the midtones remain crisp and vivid. As you can see in the example above, the preset makes sure that you get much of the texture through an increase in sharpening.
Increases Luminance for a Brilliant Look
Cozy Brilliance. Soft Flatlay increases the luminance of all colors. This, therefore, produces brilliant colors; it is, after all, ideal when promoting various objects in flatlay format. It makes every element interesting, too.
You can notice the results in the above After image. Even with the muted tones and silky browns, you can still observe the intricate hues. This preset’s balanced adjustments all come together to make a stylish and captivating flatlay.
