Pastel Film · film

Pastel Film makes one kind of light.

Keeps newborn skin, wraps and nursery walls pale and soft on the gentlest pastel film in the brand.

Pastel Newborn Film is 10 presets for film photography. Every one of them is below, before you pay for any of it.

About this pack

A nursery is pale walls, white wraps and skin that has not settled yet. This pack is built for exactly that: contrast nearly flat, highlights held at the top of the scale, exposure lifted a touch, colour muted to pastel and grain almost gone. Skin is calmed rather than warmed, which is the difference from the Warm Negative newborn roll; here the wrap stays white and the wall stays pale rather than going cream. It is the quietest set in Pastel Film and it is meant to be. Ten presets, one look, one job, stepping from a light touch to the full fade 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. Pastel Film is the quiet, cool side of colour negative, for light that should stay light.

  • Wraps white, walls pale
  • New skin calmed, not warmed
  • Contrast nearly flat
  • Grain almost gone

Newborn sessions at home and in studio, nursery lifestyle, maternity in soft light.

The look is inspired by soft, low-contrast colour-negative film such as Fujifilm Pro 160NS. This product is not made, licensed or endorsed by Fujifilm. Inspired by the look of classic film. Not made, licensed or endorsed by the film's maker.

Pastel Film is the cool side of colour negative: shadows that lean mint or lavender, skin that stays pale and clean, highlights that open up and float. Where the warm rolls feel like late afternoon, this world is morning: overcast light, white walls, garden weddings, a nursery. The dialect is airy, quiet, faded and gentle. Grain is fine, blacks are lifted high, saturation is muted and tint drifts a few points green. Every pack promises one specific thing the cool negative does to light, skin or shadow that a warm roll cannot.

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?

Yes, that is what it is built for. Every preset passed the brand's strictest skin test: redness is calmed, tone is evened and skin stays pale or peach rather than sallow or grey.

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 pastel colour but reduce the fade, raise Blacks a few points; to keep the fade but cool it less, nudge Temperature warmer.

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 Airy Film Portrait 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.
