True Skin · portrait

True Skin makes one kind of light.

One system holds every daylight skin tone, fair to warm, with strength variants for each.

Natural Skin System is 30 presets for portrait photography. Every one of them is below, before you pay for any of it.

About this pack

Natural Skin System is the four daylight skin packs joined and extended. Alongside the window, fair, olive, warm and soft looks it adds a light and a strong variant of each core preset, so the same client can get a whisper of correction or a full grade from the same family of curves. Every preset shares the same low-contrast, true-colour hand. This is True Skin's natural line: true colour, honest skin, no plastic finish. Contrast stays gentle, saturation stays close to what the camera saw, and the only real moves are in white balance, tone and the skin hue band. Faces keep their texture and their colour reads as the person, not as the preset. Every preset in the pack passed a skin safety score of 7 or higher, highlight safety of 7 or higher, consistency of 7 or higher across our test frames, a transformation strength between 2 and 6.5, so the edit shows without taking over before it was allowed in. Thirty presets in one system: strength variants, light variants and a few tonal siblings, so one session edits end to end without leaving the pack.

  • Every daylight skin tone in one system
  • Light and strong variant of each look
  • One consistent hand across a client base
  • The four ten-packs are inside it

Working portrait photographers with a mixed client base who edit daylight sessions every week.

True Skin is the portrait brand of the factory. Every preset is chosen for one thing first: the skin tone it was built for stays true, in the light it was built for. Fair, olive, warm and deep skin each get their own packs because one curve cannot serve all four. Window light, strobe, hard light and backlight are separate jobs. Nothing here smooths a face into plastic or pushes skin to orange; the finish is true colour with a little polish.

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 ten-packs does it contain?

Window Light Skin, Fair Skin Natural, Olive Skin Natural, Warm Skin Natural and Soft Skin Natural, plus the variants that join them.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the DNG files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. The XMP files work in Lightroom Classic and in Lightroom on desktop.

Will it smooth or retouch skin?

No. The presets set colour and tone only; texture, blemishes and softening are left to your own retouching so the result never looks plastic.

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 30 presets from Natural Skin System 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.
