Autumn rich: amber leaves, olive greens, warm shadows

Yellow leaves pushed toward amber, greens darkened toward olive, blues quietened and the shadows kept warm, with a light vignette to hold the eye in the middle.

Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Autumn rich at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it

Autumn engagement and family sessions, forest and park weddings, vineyards at harvest time.

When we wouldn't

Spring and summer greenery. Fresh leaves turned olive look tired, not seasonal.

The recipe

These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.

Tone curve Dashed line: no change. Points are where the look bends the curve.
Colour grading Dark dot: the tint in the shadows. Light dot: the tint in the highlights. Further from the centre means stronger.
  • Exposureless
  • Contrastmore
  • Highlightsless
  • Shadowsmore
  • Warmthmore
  • Vibrancemore
  • Vignetteless
SlidersEach bar starts at the centre: right means more, left means less. The scale is CullTone's own, so it doesn't map one to one onto Lightroom's sliders.

Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
