Nearly colourless, with one sickly green cast running through the shadow. Hard contrast and heavy grain, for the most sinister image in the pack.

Character and mood
Wicked Shadow is the darkest point in the pack. Nearly colourless, with one sickly green cast creeping through the shadow.
What the preset does to your photo: colour is almost entirely stripped out except for a green undertone in the shadows, contrast rises hard and a heavy grain sits on top. Nothing about this image feels inviting.
The look suits the most sinister image in your Halloween series, where you deliberately want to raise unease.
Choose Wicked Shadow when you want to go further than Night Shade or Blood Moon. For something more restrained, Cobweb 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.
