Magenta and cyan city

Heavy magenta-and-cyan colour with deep shadows. Built for photos that already have coloured light in them — signs, bars, clubs, wet asphalt.

Why these numbers

  • Shadows are pushed towards cyan while highlights go magenta — that split is the whole look.
  • High Dehaze and Contrast keep neon from turning into smudge.
  • A cooler white balance makes the coloured lights stand out more.

Adjust it for your photo

  • If skin turns purple, reduce the highlight split saturation to about 10.
  • In photos with no coloured light this look does almost nothing — use Moody film instead.

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.
