Character and mood
Dusk Gold plays with the moment the day isn't quite over yet, but night is already arriving. Warmth in the highlights, a cool undertone in the shadows.
What the preset does to your photo: highlights take on a golden tint, while blue and aqua in the shadows are gently reinforced. That contrast between warm and cool gives the image depth without turning restless.
The look suits cityscapes with lit facades against a blue sky, lantern-lit streets, and architecture that takes on two colours at dusk.
Choose Dusk Gold when your image holds both artificial light and the last light from the sky. Looking for a purely warm look without that cool counterpoint, Amber from this pack is the more direct choice.
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.
