Couture Profiles by The Editorial Edit – Luxury Editorial Colour

A profile works on the RAW data at a lower level than a normal preset, and The Editorial Edit designed Couture to take advantage of that. Instead of applying a rigid formula, the profiles react to how bright the photo is, its white balance and the quality of the light. Images from blazing midday and from a dark room lit by a single lamp still look like they belong together.

The look

Carefully shaped contrast, rich dark tones, deep colour and a flattering golden-olive complexion, with skin texture preserved instead of smoothed into plastic.

Included

• Couture profiles, each with an adjustable strength
• Colour and tonal adjustments for professional finishing
• A workflow meant to combine with the Cellulose tools

Made for photographers of luxury weddings, fashion, editorial portraits and brands who regularly face strong sun, mixed indoor sources, soft windows and dim venues. Works in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw, ideally with well-exposed RAW files.
