Canon G7X filter & preset
Canon G7X is the warm compact camera look: amber light, soft contrast, creamy skin and blacks that never go fully black, like a dinner photo off a vlogging camera. Try it on your own photo here, or take it with you as a free Lightroom preset.

Questions
Is the Canon G7X preset free?
Yes. Both files are free to download and use on your own photos, with no sign up. The .dng works in the free Lightroom mobile app and the .xmp in Lightroom Classic or Lightroom on a computer.
Do I need a Canon G7X?
No. Canon G7X is named after the look people love from that compact camera: warm, soft and flattering indoors. Any phone photo can wear it.
Does it work on daylight photos?
It does, but it is made for warm interiors. In daylight it reads as a strong warm cast, so ease it off with the Amount slider.
Does this page upload my photo?
No. The look runs in your browser, on your device. Your photo is never sent anywhere, and closing the page clears it.
