Deep underwater, beneath the surface, light breaks through the waves to illuminate a sunken world.
Immersed in mystery, cobalt and midnight blues, Descent Presets are a siren song of color and mood, giving images a subtle marine color grade with deep sapphire shadows and coral tones.
Descent features 3 unique color presets as well as tools to immerse yourself in a subaquatic realm through your edits. Adobe AI masks separate the subject and background, submerging the background in shades of blue while keeping natural skin tones for your subject. The presets come with no grain by default, with Grain Mask and Grain Mask O presets to add or remove a subtle grain masking layer that gives your image a light dusting of sandy texture.
“I love how Descent brought a dreaminess to my lighter images and mood to my darker ones. I especially love the creamy skin tones and dramatic blues. Each profile stays somewhat true to life yet with an element of mystery!”

“These presets transformed my images by enhancing the deep blues of the sky and ocean without over saturating all while adding a gentle dramatic touch to images. I appreciate the thoughtful blend of nuances between the three different color variations as well as the different creative profiles. These manage to retain and even emphasize the warm hues of skin tones, adding life and richness to a cooler toned background.”
