Tonal Tool Vol. 01

Tonal Tools Vol. 1 is a system of 10 editorial Lightroom presets designed to control tone, texture, and mood with minimal intervention. Each preset offers a unique tonal direction—ranging from warm matte monochromes to soft sculptural color treatments—built for art directors, photographers, and studios working in fashion, product, and print environments. These are not filters; they’re finishing tools for creatives who treat tone as narrative.
