Color rendering varies per monitor and camera model. Your photo is not saved.
Character and mood
Stilled Light is built around one specific moment: sitting by a window, in soft light that falls in without ever turning bright.
What the preset does to your photo: highlights get a warm glow, while the shadow stays a fraction cooler. That small difference between light and dark gives the image direction without making it restless.
The look suits portraits by a window, still life on a windowsill, and any calm indoor moment in natural light.
Choose Stilled Light when you're already shooting by a window. Without that directional light source, Breathing Room from this pack works just as well, but less directed.
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.
