Newborn soft cream: warm whites and calm skin for babies
Wraps and blankets go creamy, red and magenta blotches on new skin are calmed, and contrast stays low so the whole frame feels quiet.

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

When we'd reach for it
Newborn sessions on cream and neutral setups, maternity portraits, a first week at home.
When we wouldn't
Bold coloured props and backdrops. The look turns strong reds and yellows down on purpose.
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.
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.
