Lighthouse

Lighthouse is the preset for bright coastal days when the colours ask for attention. A red and white tower against a hard blue sky, a beach hut in bold paint, a facade in full sun. The look is clear and firm, made to let those colours speak without letting them shout.

Here is what the preset does: the primary colours come forward and gain strength, while the blacks stay deep and the whites clean. The blue of the sky holds and does not drain away. Contrast is firm enough to emphasise shape and line, which works well for architecture where edges and planes matter. The image looks fresh and sure of itself.

The look suits lighthouses, beach huts and coastal architecture under a blue sky. Anything with bright blocks of colour and clear shapes comes into its own. Graphic compositions on the coast, with a building against sky or water, also pick up that convincing clarity.

You choose Lighthouse when you want colour that speaks, on a day the light is on your side. The preset is strongest in clear weather with a blue sky, because then the look has something to work with. On a grey day the strength falls away and you are better off with a restrained preset from this pack.

A practical tip: find a clean composition where the blocks of colour work against each other, like red against blue or white against sky. The clearer the separation, the more this look delivers. Watch the saturation in the red areas, because bold red can clog up quickly. Pull it back a fraction if detail disappears in the colour, and everything stays readable.
