Character and mood
Honey Light is the softest of the ten. No dramatic contrast, no bold colour, just a warm layer of light falling over the frame the way late sun falls over a face.
What the preset does to your photo: orange and yellow get a small, careful lift in brightness rather than saturation. Shadows are gently raised so nothing clogs up, highlights stay soft instead of sharp. Skin stays believable throughout.
The look is built for portraits: close-ups, half-body shots, people mid conversation, someone looking just off camera. Wedding photos and family portraits in evening light work well too.
Choose Honey Light when skin is the subject and you don't want a preset that shouts over it. For something more dramatic and higher contrast, Amber from this pack fits better.
Installation
Lightroom Classic & CC (desktop)
Unzip the downloaded file on your computer. Open Lightroom Classic and go to the Develop module. Right-click the Presets panel, choose 'Import Presets', and select the .xmp file. The preset appears in your list immediately and can be applied to any photo straight away.
Lightroom Mobile
Lightroom Mobile syncs presets via the cloud. Import the .xmp file into Lightroom CC on your desktop first. Once cloud sync completes, the preset is automatically available on your phone or tablet. An Adobe CC subscription is required for this sync feature.
Capture One
Unzip the file. Open Capture One and navigate to the Styles panel. Click the arrow next to 'Styles' and choose 'Import Style'. Select the .costyle file. The style is available in your library immediately. Works with Capture One version 21 and later.
DaVinci Resolve / Premiere Pro (3D LUT)
Copy the .cube file to your application's LUT folder. In DaVinci Resolve via Project Settings → Color Management → LUT folders. In Premiere Pro via the Lumetri Color panel → Creative tab → Look → Browse. The LUT works on both LOG and standard exposed video footage.
