About this pack
Neon is one problem, keeping the tube in colour, and this system solves it thirty ways. The graphic sign against a black wall; the street under a dozen of them; the face in front of one with skin kept believable; the club where the beams are the only light. Every preset holds the highlights so pink stays pink and blue stays blue, and every preset keeps the halation world of cool shadows, open blacks and grain. Contrast runs from soft to hard with the scene. It nests all four neon-night 10-packs. Thirty presets organised as a system, named by scene and strength, with a one-page guide to which preset suits which light. XMP for Lightroom Classic and desktop, DNG for the free Lightroom mobile app. Night Halation is for the hours when the lights come on and the camera should have been loaded with cinema film.

Night Halation is 800-speed cinema colour negative shot after dark: streetlights that bloom red at the edge, tungsten that stays warm, shadows that go cyan, blacks that stay open and grainy. It is the diner, the petrol station, the parking lot, the hotel sign, the wet road, the window at night. The dialect is late, cinematic in mood but never a grade, warm lights against cool dark. Every pack says which lights, which dark and how much glow, and never confuses the halation look with a split-tone filter.
Every pack here is its own product with its own page, so you buy the one look you need, and a larger pack or the family collection is always one step up from it.
