FEATURED REVIEWS

  • “When I saw the Marigold preset pack, designed with colors similar to  Kodak Gold, I knew I had to have it. It’s incredibly versatile, letting me get the exact look I’m going for on almost any image with just a few small tweaks. The tones are warm, film-like, and timeless, and I love how easy they are to apply to my photos without overcomplicating the editing process.”

  • “From the very first time I applied one, I noticed they’re not just 'filters' — they’re carefully crafted tools that elevate my images without erasing my own style. The tones feel organic, the skin colors stay true, and the way they handle light reminds me of fine art film. It’s as if they unlock the hidden potential in each frame, bringing out both the emotion and the storytelling. Archipelago has genuinely become part of my creative workflow and my artistic voice. It’s not just about making photos look good — it’s about making them feel like the story I intended to tell.”

  • “The film emulation sets from Archipelago are always my favourites, and this is such a fabulous addition to the line up. I shoot film and often have to tweak existing presets quite a bit to get the look I'm going for, but this set is just one click! The tools make it so easy to dial in the exact nuances I want depending on the predominant colours and lighting situation. It's one of the easiest sets to achieve the perfect greens I've ever tested!”
