Quest 26 ZIA
ZIA was developed with golden sun-kissed imagery as a top priority. Each color-graded preset variation lends itself to honey amber skintones with slight variations in tonality, giving you perfect grade for every scene under the sun you may encounter. Also included are 3 sun burst presets, both horizontal and vertical variations, designed to create or enhance an already existing light source for a one-of-a-kind dramatic effect. Lastly, be sure to use the Dorado preset for that extra dose of warmth your imagery has been missing!
ZIA 01: Honey brown earth tones paired with lush greens for a neutral palette with a healthy boost in warmth. Muted highlights and deep blacks for a soft yet striking appearance.
ZIA 02: A variation with a push in amber and a decrease in green saturation, along with a slight boost in warmth.
ZIA 03: A desaturated variation with a heavy push in warmth for a copper sepia feel.
Dorado: Hazy golden hues meant to blend with the existing preset.
Background Temp: Manipulated your background hue while retaining golden skintones.
Sun H & V: Use this to emulate the setting sun in your scene.
Burst 01 H & V: A subtle yet effective sun burst bringing a bit more drama to your scene.
