Night Halation · film

Night Halation makes one kind of light.

Makes streetlights bloom warm at the edges while shadows go cyan and grain fills the open blacks.

Night Halation Street is 10 presets for film photography. Every one of them is below, before you pay for any of it.

About this pack

Shoot cinema negative at night and the streetlights do something digital never does: they bloom, a warm red edge around every bright point, while the shadows slide toward cyan and the blacks fill with grain instead of going black. These ten looks chase that on a digital file: warm highlights, cool shadows, exposure held down so night stays night, blacks lifted a step, grain heavy. It is not a teal-and-orange grade; the split is soft and the colour stays muted. The ten run from a subtle glow to a full bloom on every lamp. Ten presets, one look, one job, stepping from a subtle glow to the full bloom so you pick the version the frame wants. XMP for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop, DNG for the free Lightroom mobile app; exposure and crop are left to you. Night Halation is for the hours when the lights come on and the camera should have been loaded with cinema film.

  • Lights bloom warm, red-edged
  • Shadows cyan, blacks open
  • Grain fills the dark
  • Night stays night, never lifted

Night streets, shop fronts, crossings, petrol stations, the walk home.

The look is inspired by 800-speed tungsten-balanced cinema film. This product is not made, licensed or endorsed by any film manufacturer. Inspired by the look of classic film. Not made, licensed or endorsed by the film's maker.

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.

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.

Questions, answered

Which Lightroom versions does this work with?

Lightroom Classic and Lightroom desktop via the XMP files, and the free Lightroom mobile app on iPhone and Android via the DNG files. Install once and the presets sync across your devices.

Is it safe on skin tones?

It is safe for people in the frame, but the lights are the subject. When a person is the subject, Halation 800 Portrait, Neon Night Portrait or the Tungsten Night Film System hold skin more carefully.

How do I make it stronger or softer?

Use the Amount slider in Lightroom desktop and mobile to dial the whole preset up or down. To keep the colour split but reduce the glow, lower Highlights a few points; to keep the glow but calm the grain, lower Grain in Effects.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 10 presets from Cinema Night Car as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.
