"As someone with tight deadlines and a high volume of photos to edit, this Quest set is versatile in many lighting environments and helps me find the tones I'm aiming for in just a few clicks! I'm really impressed with the contrast the presets bring out — in a low-lit environment the colors pop beautifully while enriching the highlights and the shadows, and in portrait, high-noon, or golden-hour settings the tones add a really soft and filmic element to my photos, unlike any Archipelago Presets I've used in the past. Love this set!"
"These presets are probably the closest to 'one click' I have ever gotten. I particularly like the rich tones in preset i — after straightening and adjusting white balance, I only brought the exposure down slightly and raised the shadows, texture, clarity, and dehaze just a tad to reach my preferred tones. I've photographed a range of different skin tones, and using Quest 22 as a skin-tone base — specifically preset ii — has preserved darker skin tones without blowing them out, turning them orange, or making them ashy and sallow, which I love. I can have two different skin tones, light and dark, in the same photo, and this one works for both."
