The Craft

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.

Lightroom Classic Lightroom Photoshop / ACR Lr Mobile

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 →

Ever After

Requiem
US$20.00

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.

Field & Fade
US$20.00

Delivers a subtly film-inspired color grade while still maintaining a clean aesthetic. Think minty greens and faded blues but with natural skin tones and no grain. A simple black border finishes the look for that extra filmic feel.

Hearth

Terra
US$20.00

Terra builds on the beloved tonality of Archipelago Atlas 02, preserving its signature warmth while adding modern depth and dimension for mirrorless workflows. Earthy ochres, rust reds, and natural terracotta tones lend a rich, cinematic character that feels grounded, weathered, and effortlessly timeless.
