Questions
Is the Sunkissed 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.
Sunkissed or Golden Hour?
Sunkissed is pinker and brighter, made for skin and afternoon light. Golden Hour is yellower and softer, made for a low sun.
Will it turn skin orange?
It warms skin toward peach rather than orange, and it calms yellows so the warmth stays on the light. On a photo that is already warm, 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.
