Shoebox Stories
The prints at the bottom of the shoebox.
Warm drugstore color, faded instant film, edges gone soft and yellow from years in the box. Shoebox Stories brings that back to your photos in layers you control.

Every preset is built from masked layers, so it sits on top of your own edit or any Archipelago preset. Pick a film, age it as much as you like, then finish it with a handwritten note.
Overland is shaped by the distance between places - the hours spent watching the world change color through the window. Six base presets, each tuned to a different stretch of terrain, so your images carry the variety of the ground you cover.
The Overland Creative Profile puts the mood on a dial. Pull it back for a quieter, muted scene, or push it up for brighter, slightly cool whites and deeper, slightly warm blacks - one look, tuned to the light you found that day.
Five tools carry the journey into the frame: Highlight and Shadow Balance recover detail at both ends, Roadside Haze softens for a gentler look, Dust Trail kicks up drifting texture behind your subject, and Keepsake fades the image like a photograph left on a dashboard in the sun.
Overland is a grounded, road-worn Lightroom preset collection built to shift with the landscape. It includes six base presets, each tuned to a different stretch of terrain, five dedicated tools for recovery, haze, dust, and sun-faded nostalgia, and a custom Creative Profile that puts the mood on a dial.
Overland is made for travel, landscape, and documentary work - photographers who cover ground and want their images to carry that variety. Because each of the six base presets is tuned to a different stretch of terrain, the set holds together as one look while adapting from desert to coast to forest.
The Overland Creative Profile lets you adjust the mood of the set. Dial it back for a quieter, muted scene, or push it up for brighter, slightly cool whites and deeper, slightly warm blacks. Profiles are desktop-only and are not available in ACR due to app limitations.
Overland includes five tools - Highlight Balance and Shadow Balance to recover detail in the brightest and darkest areas, Roadside Haze to soften details for a gentle look, Dust Trail to add drifting texture behind your subject, and Keepsake, which fades the image like a photograph sat on a dashboard in the sun.
Overland is compatible with the newest subscription versions of Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Lightroom CC Mobile, and Photoshop/ACR. Both desktop and mobile versions are included. Please ensure your Adobe apps are up to date prior to purchasing.
