Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this preset have a blue tint?

The blue cast mimics tungsten-balanced film (like CineStill 800T) shot under daylight or mixed lighting. Cinema film is calibrated for warm tungsten lights, so under other sources it appears cool/blue. This is a beloved aesthetic in night photography.

How do I get the best results at night?

Shoot scenes with neon signs, street lights, or storefront lighting. Wet streets create beautiful reflections. Underexposing slightly in-camera and using this preset's settings creates authentic night photography atmosphere.

Can I use this for indoor photos?

Yes! Indoor spaces with mixed artificial lighting work well. Bars, restaurants, concerts, and retail spaces all benefit from this urban night aesthetic. The key is having colorful light sources visible in the frame.
