Character and mood
Breathing Room does exactly what its name suggests: the image gets air. White stays white, shadows lift, and no corner clogs up.
What the preset does to your photo: shadows rise toward a soft grey instead of deep black, while whites stay clean and clear. Saturation eases off slightly, so colour never asks for attention. Contrast stays low throughout the frame.
The look suits minimalist interiors, empty spaces and compositions with plenty of negative space around the subject.
Choose Breathing Room when your photo is already light and open. For a darker, more introspective result, Withdrawn from this pack fits better.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.
