Character and mood
Standstill is the most restrained preset in the pack: subtle contrast, subtle colour, nothing that draws attention. Just enough to make a photo a little calmer without you noticing it happen.
What the preset does to your photo: contrast and saturation both get a light, even dampening. There's no strong push in one direction, warm or cool, light or dark. The effect is subtle, almost invisible.
The look suits moments that are already calm, where you don't want to shout over that calm with a heavy edit.
Choose Standstill when you'd rather do almost nothing than too much. Wanting a clearer statement, Emptiness from this pack is the more explicit 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.
