A deep, saturated red glow against near-black. Hard contrast and a heavy vignette, as if a blood moon hangs over the scene.

Character and mood
Blood Moon is the heaviest preset in the pack: deep red against near-black, as if a blood moon hangs over the scene.
What the preset does to your photo: red gains extra depth and saturation, contrast rises sharply and a heavy vignette pulls the image toward the centre. Highlights stay just safe enough to avoid clipping.
The look suits dramatic night scenes, red or orange artificial light, and images that dare to demand attention.
Choose Blood Moon when your scene is already dark and tinted red or orange. For a subtler night, Night Shade 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.
