Callisto Presets
A COLLABORATION WITH TAYLOR DAWNING
Inspired by other-worldly storybook romance and visual poetry, these presets were created to bring a little more magic into your images while still keeping everything natural, timeless, and true to life. I’ve always struggled to find presets that felt cinematic and film-inspired without sacrificing authentic skin tones or overwhelming the colors already present in a moment. I wanted something soft, immersive, and emotionally rich - and so Callisto was born.
These presets are designed to compliment every colour palette while creating consistency across your galleries with ease. Expect dreamy highlights, gentle film-inspired tones, subtle cinematic depth, and an overall feeling that’s warm, romantic, and easy on the eyes.
More than anything, I hope these presets help you tell stories in a way that feels honest, nostalgic, and magical.
6 Color Presets
Nova, Satellite, Sol, Gaia, Vega, and Lilith.
A versatile collection of cinematic, film-inspired tones ranging from soft and romantic to warm, nostalgic, and moody.
2 Black & White Presets
Retrograde B&W and Chiron B&W.
