The Creative Profiles in Kin serve as the foundation of the set, each carrying its own base color grade designed to shape the overall mood of your edit. Every profile can be pushed stronger or pulled back with the Amount slider, giving you full control over how stylised or subtle you want your final look to be. This flexibility lets you match the aesthetic of any scene while maintaining a consistent, refined palette throughout the session.
All our preset collections leverage a variety of AI masking tools to expertly enhance both the subject and background of your imagery. These tools allow for targeted adjustments, ensuring each part of the image is optimised for maximum impact. The result is a visually striking image with a professional finish that grabs attention and leaves a lasting impression.
All our core sets come with free updates and support. Make sure to create an account at checkout to ensure you can take advantage of any future additions to this collection.
Compatible with the newest current subscription versions of Adobe Lightroom Classic, CC, and Photoshop/Camera Raw (ACR) desktop apps.

Start with a thoughtfully crafted base colour grade and shape your edit exactly how you envision. Push it deeper toward a richer, more cinematic story, or pull it cleanly back toward true colour whenever the scene calls for a softer finish.
From open outdoor light to intimate interiors, every tool is shaped for the precision portrait work demands. Refine skin, sculpt mood, and balance tricky light with confidence — crafting a cohesive, considered edit from frame one.
