The classic horror grade: cool teal in the shadows, a warm orange glow on skin and light sources. Deep, true blacks and a grainy edge for a filmic, threatening night.

Character and mood
Night Shade is the classic horror grade: cool in the shadows, warm on the skin. The contrast you know from film posters, now on your own photos.
What the preset does to your photo: blue and teal get extra grip in the shadows, while orange on skin and light sources keeps glowing warm. Blacks turn deep and truly black, with a visible grain on top for a filmic edge.
The look suits night photos with artificial light, street scenes after dark, and portraits where you want that classic, threatening contrast.
Choose Night Shade when your photo was already shot at night or in artificial light. For a subtler, less theatrical night, Misty Marsh 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.
