Consistent, timeless results

How it works
01
Choose your foundation
Start with a paper base, the tonal structure that sets your black point, white point, and overall density.
02
Shape your contrast + tone
Layer in emulsion type and tone to control contrast, color, and mood, the same decisions once made by hand in the darkroom.
03
Finish with texture
Add a surface preset to complete the look, from glossy clarity to the soft grain of a fine art print.
Frequently asked questions
Do these work with mobile Lightroom or only desktop?
Yes! Every preset comes in two formats, so you can use them on desktop Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile.
Do I need Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC?
Either works! The presets are compatible with both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC.
Do I need editing experience to use these?
Not at all. Each preset applies with a single click, and if you want to build your own custom look, the Darkroom Collections let you layer different presets together, no editing background required.
Can I use these for client work?
Yes, absolutely! You're welcome to use these on your client work. The one thing to note is that the presets themselves can't be shared, resold, or redistributed, they're for your own personal use in your editing.
