Golden hour

Warm sunset glow

Amber highlights, a soft glow and a warmer white balance. It makes late-afternoon light stronger — it cannot invent light that was not there.

Why these numbers

  • Temperature is the main control here — everything else just supports it.
  • Highlights are pulled down so the warm sky does not blow out to white.
  • Negative Dehaze adds the light haze that reads as sun flare.

Adjust it for your photo

  • Indoors under tungsten light this becomes orange — lower Temperature to about 5200.
  • If skin looks sunburnt, reduce Saturation by 5–10.

A preset is a starting point, not a finished edit. Always check exposure and white balance afterwards — the same values look different on a different photo.
