Lightroom presets for documentary

Made for documentary and record keepers. Deliberately unflattering diagnostic pass that exposes dust, noise and missed focus. Flatten ladder for handing off high-contrast raws to a later grade. Heavy grain over a muted pushed palette for reportage weight. Straight unstyled record rendering with no grade, grain or vignette.

Every pack is shown before and after on real photographs, works in the free Lightroom app on iPhone and Android and in Lightroom Classic, and is a one-time purchase you keep.
