Infuses Images with Warm Hues
Sunlit. This preset begins by adding a subtle warmth to the photo. It adjusts both color temperature and tint to produce some gold tones. This effect looks particularly beautiful if your picture shows rays of sunlight. You can see in the After photo above how radiant these look through the canopy of trees. The effect adds a delicate, even magical, charm.
Also, note how Summit Heights brings out the orange in brown hues. As a result, the soil and tree trunks look attractively vivid. The warmer shade also serves as an accent against the undersaturated cool greens.
Produces Deep Colors
Crisp. Notice how crisp the midtones are because of this preset. They look vivid yet not overdone; tones are deep; hues are bold without being too dark or jarring.
To create this look, the preset amplifies contrast, clarity, and vibrance. It also lowers exposure a bit to balance the modified tones and effectively bring out the stylistic enhancements.
Examine the vivid tones in the photo of the cattle above. Despite the undersaturated hues, the picture remains well defined and not washed out.
Softly Tints Highlights and Shadows
Aqua and Teal. The intrinsic appeal of this premium preset lies in the subtle hues in highlights and shadows: Summit Heights adds teal to the highlights and muted blues in the shadows.
These blend so well with the temperature and tint adjustments that they do not stick out at all. Even with the unique aesthetic, every element in the photo looks smooth and organic.
The preset further enhances these extreme ends by softening both light and dark. Aside from giving it an elegant matte texture, these help reveal more details in the image.
Artistically Modifies Hue, Saturation, and Luminance
Artistic Motif. Now for the core of this stunning vacation preset: the soft yet cool matte tones. To arrive at this look, Summit Heights applies several fine adjustments in the HSL panel.
Hues:
It shifts multiple color hues: it deepens reds, lightens greens, mutes yellows and some orange, and darkens blues.
Saturation:
It undersaturates all colors except purple and magenta. Red and orange hues are only mildly altered so that they remain ideal for skin tones and terrain.
Luminance:
The preset heightens the luminance of all warm colors and, on the other hand, lowers that of aqua and blue. This helps create stunning cool matte tones in gardens, grassy fields, lush forests, clear skies, and deep waters.
