What's in the set
The compass is yours
Choose Your Base
Pathfinder 01 The clean start — a soft matte curve and lifted shadows with colour left honest. The neutral trailhead.
Pathfinder 02 Earthy and muted — greens and blues hushed, yellows warmed. Organic and grounded.
Pathfinder 03 Warm and characterful — softened contrast with hues leaning golden. The bold, storied route.
Pathfinder 04 — Black & White The monochrome path — a true black & white conversion with lifted blacks and a touch of clarity. Each base rides its own dial-able profile.
Chart the Tones
Dynamics 1–5 Five adjusters that reshape the tonal terrain — from deep-shadowed drama to airy, lifted light.
Four Curve Modifiers Bright White, Deep Black, Filmic, and Pushed Mids — four ways to bend the curve's character.
Finish the Journey
Color Rendition 1–4 Four finishing casts — sun-bleached warmth, cool blue, golden olive, and a verdant wash.
B&W Mix 1–3 + Auto Four channel mixes for the monochrome route — each renders the same scene in a different tonal balance.
Saturation + / − A final nudge in either direction — the last step before the destination.

"One of the most extensive Quest sets I've downloaded to date. The customization available with only one click makes this easily one of the most versatile and easy to use — the Dynamics options come in clutch when the light changes mid-session and you need a quick adjustment, and the same can be said for the black and white mixes. The colours aren't overly stylized. I'm happy to see another timeless and beautiful set from Archipelago."

"Absolutely in love with Pathfinder — truly unique in the sense that you can structure it however you like. Choose your 'path' with a base, dynamics, curve, and colour rendition; each section offers a widely different vibe. Bold, muted, light and airy, earthy tones, filmic, minty greens — you name it, Pathfinder has it. If you're trying to find your style, start here. This will forever be one of my go-to sets!"
