Ombra
Dramatic without losing dimension, graphic without losing soul.
Ombra takes its name from the deep, sculptural shadow work that defines today's most striking editorial photography. Each preset carries its own split tone, pulling color into the shadows and highlights in different directions and different strengths.
Built around three base presets and a dedicated creative profile, Ombra gives you a foundation grade with that signature shadow-and-highlight split — ready to shape to your own vision, with three tools that extend the look further.

The result is dramatic without losing dimension, graphic without losing soul. Built around three base presets, Ombra gives you a foundation grade with that signature shadow-and-highlight split, ready to shape to your own vision.
Ombra 01 - The coolest of the set, with a deep blue lean through the shadows for a graphic, high contrast finish.
Ombra 02 - A warm-leaning preset with rich red shadows and cool blue-green midtones.
Ombra 03 - A balanced look with natural peachy warmth throughout.
The set is paired with a dedicated creative profile, working black point and exposure together to deepen contrast while preserving detail in the dark areas of the frame.
Three tools extend the look further:
Inverted Vignette - Lifts the corners of the frame instead of darkening them, a technique borrowed straight from editorial portraiture, opening up the edges of your image for a brighter, more graphic finish.
Creamy Highlights - Softens the top end of the tonal range, mimicking the gentle, rounded roll-off of film highlights.
Underexposed Shadows - Clips the darkest tones and introduces a cool blue cast, recreating the look of intentionally underexposed film.

"One of my favorite Quest sets — I'm really loving the filmy vibes. This was one click for quite a few of my sessions. The majority of my sessions are done in homes and I love to lean into shadows, and the deep shadows on this set are exactly what I love. I tested it on a few different skin tones and it was great — no issues with vibrancy or orange toned skin. The three are different enough but not so different that it's overwhelming. I loved using 1 and 2 for my in-home sessions and found myself loving 3 for the outdoors — that peachy tone definitely helps with the vibrant summer greens I really can't stand! My favorite tool is the Underexposed Shadows. It adds the perfect moody element — I love it so much."
"I really like the subtle split-toning approach—it adds depth and dimension without feeling heavy-handed. The presets create distinct color relationships between the shadows and highlights rather than simply shifting the overall white balance, which gives images a more refined, editorial feel. Skin tones remain natural while the environment takes on a cinematic character, and the look feels modern yet still timeless."
