Latin fiesta colour: bougainvillea pinks and sunlit walls

Sunlit, festive colour: bougainvillea and papel picado pinks lifted, warm painted walls, clear blues and aquas. The skin colours are left alone.

A look for one kind of ceremony. You choose it per project; CullTone never picks it from the people in the frame.

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

When we'd reach for it

Mexican and Latin American weddings, haciendas, colourful towns, fiesta receptions and mariachi sets.

When we wouldn't

Muted, minimal venues. There is little colour for it to lift.

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.
  • Exposuremore
  • Contrastmore
  • Highlightsless
  • Shadowsmore
  • Warmthmore
  • Vibrancemore
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.
