Cool

Amplify the cool tones in a scene, while keeping the skin tones of your subject looking natural. G4 and G5 play especially well with snowy, winter environments, but can be used in any scenario to create a dramatic, moody edit.

G4 — Cool Portrait
Achieve a pleasing color contrast with G4, which preserves natural skin tone, yet adds a strong blue tone to your image.

G5 — Cool Portrait
For a blue-toned, desaturated look, G5 allows you to reduce color in your photo while keeping skin from looking dull and ashen.

Neutral

Adjust overall color balance with G6 and G7 to achieve better color relationships between skin tones and the surrounding setting.

G6 — Neutral Portrait
G6 increases the brightness of colors in your image without skin looking unnaturally tan.

G7 — Neutral Portrait
G7 lessens the intensity of all colors in the image to create a balanced color palette that will complement your subject's complexion.

Add warmth to any atmosphere with G8 and G9. These two presets capture the happy feel of summer and fall, with prominent, yellow-orange hues.

G8 — Warm Portrait
For sun-kissed skin and an overall pop of color on your photo, G8 adds warm drama to your look.
