Quest 06

Emulsion

Soft, filmic, and true - color this world has to offer, uncompromised.

A gorgeous soft and filmic collection with an emphasis on tonal accuracy. Three variations offer a range of dynamic options to fit your aesthetic, with the Emulsion profile on hand to push toward a more stylized film stock look.

Soft & Filmic Tonal Accuracy Romantic

Before

A gorgeous soft and filmic collection with an emphasis on tonal accuracy - for the purist unwilling to compromise on the brilliant color this world has to offer.

The stylized character here comes from dynamics rather than heavy tonal shifts, giving you accuracy without the sterile look digital cameras tend to leave behind. Three variations carry you from clean and true, through a softer and more minimal rendering, to muted highlights with a boost in contrast for something more stylized. And when you want to lean fully into film, the Emulsion profile shifts the set from highly accurate color into minty greens, pale pinks, and rich skin tones - a romantic film stock look, dialed in to taste.

What's in the set
Three variations, one filmic profile
→
        Emulsion 01
        Clean, simple, and true. The base of the set, where the stylized character comes entirely through dynamic adjustments rather than heavy tonal shifts. The result keeps your color faithful while shedding the sterile, clinical look digital cameras tend to leave behind - accuracy with a soul.
      
→
        Emulsion 02
        A shift in dynamics that pulls the look softer and smoother, easing the set into a more minimal, pared-back rendering. Where 01 holds its ground, 02 relaxes - gentler transitions and a quieter tonal presence for images that call for restraint.
      
→
        Emulsion 03
        The most stylized of the three. Muted highlights and a boost in contrast lend a richer, more deliberate edit - the variation to reach for when you want the filmic character to read loudest while staying consistent alongside 01 and 02.

        Emulsion Profile
        Minty greens, pale pinks, and rich skin tones come together for an overall romantic aesthetic. Use the profile slider to move along the full range - from the highly accurate color of the base presets through to a stylized film stock look - so you control exactly how far into film territory each image travels.

"GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! This set makes my photos feel like a beautiful watercolor piece! The greens are to die for and the Emulsion profile is perfect to give my photograph that nostalgic filmic feel. Skin tones are beautiful. I'm so in love."

"This is one of the cleanest sets I've used. One of the biggest editing aspects I'm constantly overthinking is getting accurate skin tones; I'm usually finding myself tweaking multiple areas in LR to get them to look as natural as possible while still giving the overall image some POW, but with this set (as long as the white balance is correct) it's a one-click preset and the skin tones are spot on while still achieving an elevated look for my images."
