Driftwood
Long beach days fading into firefly evenings.
Long days at the beach that fade into enchanting evenings — the sun bowing to the horizon, the sea whispering stories, and fireflies dancing like glowing embers from a campfire.
Three color grades of rich, sandy-red shadows and sea-spray aqua highlights, plus magical tools — fireflies, naked flame, and a backlit subject lift — to add drama and atmosphere.
Quest 39 Driftwood is inspired by long days at the beach that fade into enchanting evenings, where the sun begins to bow its head to the horizon, the sea whispers stories to those who listen, and the fireflies dance like glowing embers from a campfire. Driftwood features 3 color grading presets that imbue your images with rich, sandy red shadows and sea-spray aqua highlights, along with magical tools to add drama and atmosphere to your work.
Driftwood 01 - Punchy, warm preset with distinct red-toned shadows and subtle aqua highlights.
Driftwood 02 - Variation with lowered contrast and a more natural tonal shape to the highlights.
Driftwood 03 - Variation with additional sandy-orange toning and more brilliance in the highlights.
Driftwood Creative Profile: Brings a classic cinematic color grade with warm-toned shadows and cool-toned highlights, along with added contrast.
Fireflies 1 - Add the magic of dancing fireflies to your photo. With one click, this preset adds glowing orbs of light around your subject.
Fireflies 2 - Conjures up a layer of fireflies in the distance.
Naked Flame - Adds an atmospheric glow that enhances candles, lanterns, and other naked flames (use the Lightroom masking panel to move and duplicate as needed - comes in two sizes).

"The colors are absolutely gorgeous and it cuts my editing time in half. I have used the presets on multiple different images, and not one did I dislike. Even for weddings, it gives a nice warm look without overdoing it, and still keeps the skin tones looking normal. The tools add a nice touch — I find myself using Fireflies 1 and 2 on a lot of photos based outside in nature, and the Backlit Subject makes subjects brighter without any extra brushes, which saves me a lot of time. I love the ability to customize each preset to my own style; whether I'm going for a warm, film-inspired look or a bold aesthetic, I can easily adjust it to fit my vision. This will easily be a preset I use for the majority of my work in the future."
"My favorite part of this preset pack is the Fireflies. They add a magical element to a photo, and I love that there's an option for bigger ones and tiny ones — I was able to use them on two very different styles of photos with great success. I also really love the Backlit Subject; I tried it on several already-edited photos and it added just the right amount of pop to the subject. Love love love this element. Excited to play with this set more on upcoming shoots."
