Descent
Beneath the surface, a sunken world of blue.
Deep underwater, light breaks through the waves to illuminate a sunken world — a siren song of cobalt and midnight blues, deep sapphire shadows, and coral tones.
Three color presets plus tools to immerse yourself in a subaquatic realm. Adobe AI masks submerge the background in blue while keeping natural skin tones on your subject.
Deep underwater, beneath the surface, light breaks through the waves to illuminate a sunken world. Immersed in mystery, cobalt and midnight blues, Descent Presets are a siren song of color and mood, giving images a subtle marine color grade with deep sapphire shadows and coral tones.
Descent 01 - Overall vibrant aquamarine hues with natural skin tones. Cobalt blue shadows and coral reds, lemon yellows, emerald greens.
Descent 02 - Warm neutral variation with naval blue shadows, seaweed greens, and a touch of rose gold
Descent 03 - Moody variation with deeper, thunderstorm blue shadows, glimmering champagne midtones, and pine greens.
Descent Vibrance Profile - Lower the profile for cooler, rose tones and reduced contrast with crushed shadows. Raise the profile for a glaze of citrine hues, deepened shadows and contrast
Descent Profile - Lower the profile for lifted shadows, warm glow, and lower contrast. Raise the profile for dramatic shadows and slate blue cinematic overtone.
Abyss - Dramatic vignette that can be adjusted using the Preset Slider for a subtle, shallow vignette or bold, fathomless dark border.
Euphotic Light - Evoking the layer of the ocean where sunlight still permeates the water, Euphotic Light adds sunlit warmth and illumination to your subject and a slight golden tone to the background.
Specular reflection - Like the surface of water reflecting the glitter of sun or moonlight, Specular reflection adds mask layers that give the effect of light leaks on film.
The presets come with no grain by default, with Grain Mask and Grain Mask O presets to add or remove a subtle grain masking layer that gives your image a light dusting of sandy texture.

"These presets are phenomenal for any photography that includes water, snow, or a lot of blue and cool-toned greens. This set has three beautiful color profiles. Abyss and Euphotic Light are great additions too — I'll definitely use Abyss a lot, as it adds a moody vignette, while Euphotic Light enhances photos with a beautiful sunlight-like glow. Specular Reflection is probably going to be my newest obsession: it really looks like a reflection of water, snow, or moonlight and adds just the right amount of drama, with a nostalgic feel — it would be stunning with moody filmic beach photos. And the two grain options are perfect complements to the set. You either love grain (like I do) or hate it, and this set holds options for both. You really can't go wrong."
"A beautifully moody, textured set of presets, profiles, and tools. Muted, darkened greenish-blues evoke exactly an underwater majesty, while the tools provide a way to subtly distress images for grit, intrigue, and an old-school filmic feel. I particularly love the grain mask feature, which allows slide control of the amount of grain applied. While I'm a lover of rich, deep color, I enjoyed the more muted tones of this set — adjusting the sliders on the profiles offered me a small boost in vibrance and makes the set very versatile."
