Sale Price: $38.00 Original Price: $64.00

Aubade is a dark, rich, cinematic preset collection with earthy warmth and a distinctive creative style. Built for depth, mood, and storytelling, it includes three grading presets—two in atmospheric color and one in timeless black & white.

To extend its creative range, Aubade also features three unique tools, each designed to transform tone, texture, and ambience in distinctive ways:

  • Gossamer – Softens and diffuses your image with blooming highlights and gently faded detail.

  • Vestige – Adds a vintage patina with grain, reduced detail, and a subtle aged character.

  • Inkwell – Deepens blacks, refines detail, and introduces a subtle vignette for added focus.

Whether working in warm shadow or gentle light, Aubade brings a cohesive, cinematic finish that’s as versatile as it is distinctive.

What's in the set
A song for first light
Aubade 01 The earthier of the two colour grades — olive-leaning greens, amber warmth threaded into the shadows, and blues that hold a jewel-toned richness.
Aubade 02 The cool counterpart — the same earthy foundation swept with a twilight-blue wash. Quieter, moodier, later in the day.
Aubade 03 — Black & White A timeless monochrome with a warm, sepia-touched tone — deepened skies, sculpted skin, and a heavier helping of grain.
Aubade Profiles The colour identity beneath the set — golden light threaded into earthy shadow, in colour and black & white versions. Fully dial-able.
Gossamer Softens and diffuses your image with blooming highlights and gently faded detail.
Vestige Adds a vintage patina with grain, reduced detail, and a subtle aged character.
Inkwell Deepens blacks, refines detail, and introduces a subtle vignette for added focus.

"I love the vibe of this set — cinematic, yet nostalgic, which is right up my alley. Of the different tools, Vestige is my personal favorite: it gives the photo that extra vintage touch without being over the top. I tested these on a beach session and it gave me that perfect 'dusty polaroid' vibe I was going for. Very easy to use and tweak as needed — and the tweaks are minor."

"The preset delivers a strong cinematic mood with a cohesive style across the images I used — a consistent warmth and slight vintage characteristic that makes the set feel unified. The tonal consistency makes the workflow easier, since you don't need to spend much time matching photos within a set."
