Fable

Familiar as childhood tales told at bedtime.

Pages of old books — well-loved, full of texture and warmth, with a little wear and tear here and there. Fable elicits memories of your favorite tales, brought to life in three distinct Chapters, each telling a different story, but part of the same anthology.

Also included are fifteen preset tools — an appendix of supplemental material that adds to the drama, texture, and tone of folktales and stories. The included grain mimics the texture of book paper: subtle from afar, yet tangible upon inspection.

Sale Price: $38.00 Original Price: $64.00

Pages of old books: well-loved, full of texture and warmth, and a little wear and tear here and there. Familiar as childhood tales told at bedtime, each chapter is like a worn-in pair of corduroys. Fable Presets elicit memories of your favorite tales, brought to life in 3 distinct Chapters, each telling a different story, but part of the same anthology.

Fable Chapter 01 - Rosy and romantic overall tone with olive greens, desaturated icy blues, and even, flattering skin tones

Fable Chapter 02 - Gilded variation with tea stained overtones, Pacific blues, spring greens, and lightly crushed highlights and shadows

Fable Chapter 03 - Neutral variation with muted highlights and subtly lifted shadows. True skin tones, robin's egg blues, verdant greens

FABLE - SETTING Profile - Increase the profile for extra rich depth with deepened shadows and blacks. Decrease the profile for added airiness, with less contrast and lifted shadows.

Drama - Uses Adobe AI background detection to deepen the background and draw attention to the protagonist(s) of your image

Aged Paper - Tone - Gives your image the faded quality of old paper, slightly sun-bleached and worn

Aged Paper - Dust & Scratches - Adds white dust & scratches to the image, reminiscent of sunlight catching particles of dust in a library

Aged Paper - Torn Edge - Adds a torn edge to the bottom of the image, like a page ripped from your favorite storybook

Aged Paper - Water Stains I & II - Water spots throughout the image, with extra water damage look around the edges of the "page"

Fable Presets also include other tools that adds to the drama, texture, and tone of folktales and stories. The included grain mimics the texture of book paper, subtle from afar yet tangible upon inspection.

"Quest 25 gives an old-timey feel to modern-day photos — each of the three chapters has its own vast feel. I edit quite dark and moody and enjoy a nostalgic feel, which this set can be amazing for. The presets didn't need many personal retouches, if any at all — I simply applied the chapter preset, went through with the tools, and wow did they add a beautiful finish. 'Drama' really brings out the depths and details, and the Aged Paper tools add to the feeling of an image that has lived through the generations, loved and memorized — a piece of history going on."

"As soon as I applied Fable to an image, I could already tell it's going to be one of my go-to presets. The three variants give you a warm, cool, and natural look — polished and expertly calibrated in and of themselves — and the profile slider allows further granular control, so I can dial in the perfect amount for the look I want to achieve. The tools really make the most of Lightroom's AI capabilities in a very intuitive way. I'm currently editing a session from a forest, and this set has come at the perfect time."
