Each Look is layered with custom adjustments
Our creative developers build these by hand. Layered tone, light, and atmosphere, drawing on nearly two decades of preset design for photographers.
Each Look is tested across portrait, wedding, and lifestyle work before it ships. The result is a single-click recipe that holds up at volume - because every step inside has already been proven.
Archipelago Look presets are compatible with current subscription versions of Adobe Lightroom Classic, Lightroom (cloud-based), Lightroom Mobile*, and Photoshop / Camera Raw (ACR).
*To use these presets in Lightroom Mobile (iPad, tablet, or phone), an active Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is required, and the presets must first be installed in the desktop version of Lightroom. They will then sync automatically to Lightroom Mobile. See installation guide →

Faded blacks, soft grain, and a subtle vintage warmth that feels pulled from an old family album. Perfect for everyday moments you want to feel a little more timeless.
This Look is built from the Marigold collection.
Cinematic shadows and a brooding, silver-toned atmosphere drawn from candlelit rooms and stormy coastlines. Moody, atmospheric, and heavy with intention.
This Look is built from Light & Ember + & Atmospheric Toolset collections.

Sandia takes the foundation of LXCR 04 and pushes it further, trading restraint for a bolder, richer color response that holds its saturation without ever tipping into excess. Skin stays warm and honest against open sky, big terrain, and everything in between. This Look is built from LXCR & Kin
Nomas carries the wandering spirit of Nomad, softened into something quieter. The contrast eases, shadows turn warmer, and grain settles finer, like dust after a long day on the road. Skin tones stay true throughout. Same journey, just softer light. This Look is built from Nomad & Nomad SE
