Quest 39 - Driftwood

Driftwood 03 and Fireflies 1 - Photo by Korik Fotografi

 

Quest 39 Driftwood is inspired by long days at the beach that fade into enchanting evenings, where the sun begins to bow its head to the horizon, the sea whispers stories to those who listen, and the fireflies dance like glowing embers from a campfire. Driftwood features 3 color grading presets that imbue your images with rich, sandy red shadows and sea-spray aqua highlights, along with magical tools to add drama and atmosphere to your work.

Fireflies 1 - Add the magic of dancing fireflies to your photo. With one click, this preset adds glowing orbs of light around your subject.

Fireflies 2 - Conjures up a layer of fireflies in the distance.

Naked Flame - Adds an atmospheric glow that enhances candles, lanterns, and other naked flames (use the Lightroom masking panel to move and duplicate as needed - comes in two sizes).

Backlit Subject - Lifts exposure and adds definition and clarity to your subject.
