Travel vivid: deep skies, clear seas, rich daylight colour

Postcard colour: skies a shade deeper, sea and foliage richer, highlights pulled back so white buildings and clouds keep their shape. Skin is left alone.

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

Good forDestination weddings, coastlines, mountains

When we'd reach for it

Destination weddings, coastlines, mountain viewpoints and city views in daylight.

When we wouldn't

Soft romantic portraits. Strong colour around a couple can pull the eye away from them.

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 No grading. The colour comes from the camera and the sliders.
  • Exposuremore
  • Contrastmore
  • Highlightsless
  • Shadowsmore
  • Warmthless
  • 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.
