TOKYO DARKROOM is an homage to the dark and gritty era of Japanese post-war artists like Daido Moriyama and Masahisa Fukase and many more. Graphic, grainy with flashed highlights and jet black shadows. Extreme contrast and poetic greyscales. If you want something dark and poetic, this is something for you.

What is in the pack?

12 handmade adjustable presets created with our own special profile

5 Dark vignettes

3 Light vignettes

5 Grain structures

Suggested workflow

Start with finding your style of preset (1-12) Here you find a range of styles from deep shadows on ”flashed grey paper” to the gritty graphic with extreme contrast.

Remember – You can adjust the amount of profile effect by pulling the profile slider in the develop panel (in the top)

Add some grain, and see what fits your picture

Add a dark or light vignette, and perhaps adjust it after your taste

If you want to go back to the original, use the reset preset for a quick reset

Play around with blacks, whites, and contrast in the tone panel

Boom! You have a cool start – now you can start to fine adjust your picture. Preferable in Photoshop, where you can work with the dodge and burn tool to emphasize on important things in the image – get unimportant things darker and important things lighter. There are no limits – and remember: it is not about doing a ”correct” picture, it is about creating something poetic. So just be brave and bold!

Remember – You can adjust the amount of profile effect by pulling the profile slider in the develop panel (in the top). No preset can give you a perfect result with one click – depending on your camera, exposure, light, and composition the result will differ. Use the different tools inside Lightroom to adjust exposure and contrast and you will have a great result.

IMPORTANT NOTICE This Lightroom presets is compatible with Adobe Lightroom versions of:

Adobe Lightroom CC

Adobe Lightroom Classic

Adobe Photoshop CC (Camera Raw filter)

Adobe Lightroom Mobile App (you will need a Creative Cloud subscription to import the profiles. You can do this by importing through the Lightroom CC desktop app and they will appear in your mobile app)

Please make sure you have the correct software before your purchase – refunds can NOT be given for digital downloads. Also, make sure to update your Lightroom to the latest version, so it can handle the included profile. (Older versions of Lightroom might have problems finding profiles).
