A preset pack for creative photographers who are inspired by film yet seeking a modern tool for their work flow
GD01
The first colour preset of the pack is my go to for nearly all lighting situations.
It offers a more moody + warm edit while still holding true to the tones and grain of the pack.
Cool highlights and warm shadows add a creative tone to your work flow while maintaining a creamy skin tone and natural colours in the environment.
The GOLD DUST local adjustment filter elevates this preset even more.

GD02+Dark adds a bit more contrast, with brighter whites and deeper blacks and more saturated colours.

Gold Dust Brushes
My brushes are designed to enhance elements of your images in a way that works side by side the presets.
Gold Dust
The GOLD DUST brush is a perfect tool for enhancing directional light in your image. It adds extra warmth and softness to golden hour images but also can be used to enhance light if the image is lacking a bit of that magic! Works ideally as a radial filter coming from the natural direction of the light in your image.
The DEEPEN brush is much like the traditional burn brush, with my own custom tweaks. With reducing texture, deepening blacks and dropping exposure, you can use this brush to paint into areas that you want to deepen to create more dynamic range in your images. When used in pairing with my GOLD DUST brush, your image will SHINE
