Powershot digicam filter & preset
Powershot is the blue hour digicam look: cool blue shadows, a soft violet sky and warm skin where the flash lands, like a photo off an old compact at dusk. Try it on your own photo here, or take it with you as a free Lightroom preset.

Questions
Does it add a flash?
No. Powershot changes colour and contrast, not light. For the full look, take the photo with your flash on, then put Powershot on it.
Is the Powershot 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.
Powershot or Cybershot?
Powershot is softer and bluer, made for dusk with a little flash on the face. Cybershot is harder and cooler, made for night and parties.
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.
