Soft gold in the highlights, a fresh, cooler undertone in the shadows. The calm of early light, without the heaviness of a late evening sun.

Character and mood
Morning Gold looks at the same sun as the rest of this pack, but early, before the day has properly started. The light is gold, the air is still fresh.
What the preset does to your photo: highlights get a soft golden glow, while shadows keep a cooler undertone. That contrast between warm light and fresh shadow is exactly what sets early morning apart from late evening.
The look suits runners and cyclists in morning light, walks through misty fields, and street photos of a city still waking up.
Choose Morning Gold when you want to hold on to that early-day freshness. For a deeper, heavier kind of warmth, 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.
