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 look works beautifully on its own, straight onto your photo. Each one is also built from masked layers, so it sits on top of your own edit or any Archipelago preset without undoing it. Pick a film, age it as much as you like, then finish it with a worn paper border.
The film counter
Grab a roll off the shelf. Eleven print and instant looks, from 70s family albums to 90s disposables. Use one on its own, or on top of the preset you already love.
How long was it in the box?
Drag the years. Each add-on is its own layer in Lightroom, so you can stack as many as you like and dial each one in.
Add a border
A worn paper border with browned edges, card marks and foxing. Blank, or with a handwritten note already on it. Each comes in three shapes.
What's in the box
Every preset on one contact sheet. Pick a tab, then tap a frame to circle it and read about it.
