Nikah soft pastel: calm colour for pastel decor and halls
Calm pastels with lifted shadows, gentle highlights and muted colour.
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 Nikah soft pastel at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it
Nikah, walima and mehndi with pastel decor and daylight halls.
When we wouldn't
A mehndi night lit in deep orange or green. A warmer look keeps that colour.
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.
