West African celebration: rich aso-oke, full deep skin
Made so deep skin stays full and warm: no grey lifted blacks, no washed-out colour, rich magentas, purples and golds in aso-oke, gele and kente.
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 West African celebration at full strength, rendered from the same file.

When we'd reach for it
Nigerian, Ghanaian and other West African traditional and white weddings, owambe receptions.
When we wouldn't
Pale pastel decor schemes. This look adds richness the room may not want.
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.
