Traces of Light
and Atmosphere

― 30 Lightroom presets

Ikebanadoctor ・ 光と空気の余韻

Light first.
Edges gently loosened.

One tap, and air enters the photograph. Edges loosen a little, light becomes a veil, greens step back and flowers come forward. Thirty finishes from the artist's own work.

A download (ZIP: 30 × .xmp plus a setup guide). The link arrives right after checkout — nothing is posted.
Not eligible for the bundle discount or free shipping.

THE STORY

Where light matters more than perfection.

After a night shift in the emergency room, I drive out to wherever the season's flowers are. The most beautiful light rarely lasts. I finish each photograph while the air of that place is still with me. More than eighty of them are here in this shop.

A technically clean photograph and one that moves you are not always the same. I loosen the edges, let a veil of light settle, and place scarlet, indigo and pale rose as a painter might. That touch is what these thirty presets carry.

30 PRESETS

All thirty

They come in five groups. Pick your standard haze from group 1 first, then move on when you want to push the color or the moment.

1 How Much Haze 霞の強さで選ぶ ・ 6 presets

Thin, standard or deep — plus backlight and dawn. Start here.

  • 01Light Hazestart here
    薄霞

    Wraps the frame in a thin haze while some definition remains. Of all thirty, it comes closest to the touch the artist returns to most often. If you are unsure, begin here.

  • 02Veil of Light
    光の膜

    The standard haze. The reference the others are stronger or weaker than.

  • 03Dense Haze
    濃霞

    The same veil, one step deeper. For when 02 is not enough.

  • 04Quiet Margin
    静かな余白

    Orders the frame without disturbing the air already in it. The lightest touch here.

  • 05Backlit Haze
    逆光霞

    Swells the backlit side while ridgelines and petals keep their edge.

  • 06Dawn Haze
    朝光霞

    Loosens early morning light. The gentler, sunrise version of 05.

2 Color and Season 色で選ぶ ・ 6 presets

Cherry pink, autumn red, hydrangea blue, garden green — brought forward.

  • 07Colors Awaken
    彩りの目覚め

    Wakes sleepy color without forcing it. For overcast days.

  • 08Spring Light
    春彩のひかり

    Cherry blossom and spring color, softly lifted.

  • 09Autumn Color
    錦秋の彩り

    Brings up the red, orange and yellow of maples.

  • 10Blue Garden Bloom
    青庭ににじむ

    Blue flowers and blue-green gardens, kept damp. Made for hydrangeas.

  • 11Melt into Green
    深緑にとける

    Sinks the green so flowers and water surface come forward.

  • 12Deep Forest Melt
    深森しずむ

    Deeper green, deeper black. The stronger version of 11.

3 For the Moment 場面で選ぶ ・ 4 presets

Evening light, winter lamplight, old-glass softness, ink monochrome.

  • 13Band of Light
    光の帯

    Lifts a sunset without losing the band of light. The mid tones at the horizon never crush to black.

  • 14Winter Quiet
    冬灯の静けさ

    Keeps winter white and winter lamplight as quiet as they were.

  • 15Old Glass Echofor modern lenses
    古硝子の余韻

    Adds the softness of old glass to photographs taken with a modern lens. It is not for material that is already soft — a vintage lens or a diffusion filter will double the bloom. Use 04 or 02 for those.

  • 16Ink QuietB&W
    墨の余白

    A soft, ink-toned monochrome that keeps the white of the empty space.

4 Just One Part 部分だけ変える ・ 4 presets

Only the sky, the subject, or the edges. Layer over your chosen preset. They work through masking, so the free Lightroom mobile app imports them without effect — see the compatibility table below.

  • 17Between Sky and Earthneeds a sky
    空と地のあわい

    Cool sky, warm ground. Do not use it on a frame with no sky in it.

  • 18Indigo Skynot with 17
    空に群青

    Deepens the sky alone. Use it instead of 17, never on top of it.

  • 19Subject Softening
    主題をやわらげる

    Softens the outline of the subject only. Check the mask overlay after applying.

  • 20Edge Meltlayer it on
    周辺のとろけ

    Lets the edges run while the centre holds. The circle sits centred — move it if your subject does not.

5 Painterly 絵のような質感 ・ 10 presets

Where groups 1–3 shape the air in a photograph, these ten are chosen for surface itself — rose, gold, violet, olive, watercolor wash and flowing ink. The same frame moves closer to a painting.

  • 21Rosy Veil
    薄紅のベール

    Lays a pale rose light over the frame.

  • 22Morning Mist
    朝霧のベール

    Floats a white mist across the frame.

  • 23Golden Glow
    金のぬくもり

    Adds the body heat of golden light.

  • 24Twilight Hush
    薄暮のしじま

    Pulls the frame toward violet dusk.

  • 25Gentle Film
    穏やかなフィルム

    Draws the saturation back to a faded film tone.

  • 26Watercolor Pale
    淡彩の水彩

    Thins the color until it bleeds like watercolor on paper.

  • 27Overcast Calm
    曇天の静けさ

    Settles the blue-grey of a cloudy sky.

  • 28Dreamy Bloom
    夢見の花明かり

    Blurs strong light into something half-dreamt.

  • 29Deep Garden
    濃緑の庭

    Takes the garden deeper while the color stays.

  • 30Ink WashB&W
    墨流しモノクロ

    A hazy, ink-wash black and white. Built on a different base than 16, so the tonality differs.

Choosing by strength: 02 → (softer) 01 → (stronger) 03 / 05 → (gentler, for sunrise) 06 / 11 → (stronger) 12. There are two monochromes, 16 and 30, built on different bases.

EXAMPLES

Shown in three stages

Each example is the same frame three times: ① the RAW file with every develop setting reset, ② the preset applied once and nothing else, and ③ the finished photograph that is for sale in this shop. Stage ② has no exposure change, no white balance change and no local adjustments — so you can see exactly how far one click goes.

Sky Poppies of Chichibu (Saitama) × 01 Light Haze

Red and pink filling a highland slope. A thin haze softens the light by one layer while the petals keep their edge. In ③ the blue of that day's sky and the color of the nearest flowers were adjusted separately.

Kawazu Sakura in Motion (Shizuoka) × 02 Veil of Light

The standard veil over blossom blurred by a slow shutter. The softness of the motion stays, and the white light never tightens too far. In ③ the green of the river and the rose of the blossom were placed separately.

Mt. Fuji & Autumn Maples (Yamanashi) × 07 Colors Awaken

Makuhari Beach Sunset (Chiba) × 13 Band of Light

The mid tones left at the horizon get lifted instead of crushed. ③ goes on from there, tightening the color of the sand and the madder red of the sky separately.

A preset is a starting point. The finished photographs in ③ carry local adjustments, crops and white balance chosen for that one frame, that one day's light. These presets are not a one-click route from ② to ③.

The RAW in ① is exported with the camera's own white balance and every develop setting reset. ② is one application at standard strength — nothing added, exposure included. The crop is identical across ①, ② and ③.

How a photograph looks is also decided by the lens. The flare and swirl of a vintage lens like the HELIOS-44-2, or the streak of intentional camera movement, cannot be made with a preset. What these thirty do is the veil of light and the way color is carried.

One frame, six looks. The same RAW file of Makuhari beach at sunset, with the same crop, each preset applied once.

COMPATIBILITY

What you need to run them

Inside the ZIP are 30 presets in .xmp format and a setup guide. That is the format Lightroom reads natively — nothing extra to buy on the Adobe side.

Lightroom Classic
(11 or newer)
All 30 work. Develop module → Presets panel → "+" → Import Profiles & Presets, and select the ZIP as it is.
Lightroom (desktop)
/ Camera Raw
(Lightroom 5 or newer / ACR 14 or newer)
All 30 work. File → Import Profiles & Presets, same ZIP.
Lightroom mobile
(paid plan)
All 30 work. Import them on the desktop app and they sync to your iPhone and iPad — or import them in the mobile app itself, by either of the two routes described below for the free version.
Lightroom mobile
(free version)
Twenty-six of the thirty work as they are. The free app imports .xmp presets, and there are two ways in.
Method A (simplest): open a photo, go to Edit → Presets → "…" → Import Presets, and select the ZIP as it is. On most setups all 30 arrive in one go.
Method B (if A does not work): unzip the download first — on iPhone, long-press the ZIP in the Files app and choose Uncompress — then use the same menu and select the .xmp files (you can select several at once).
Behaviour varies between devices and app versions, so if A does not work for you, try B.
The four Just One Part presets (17–20) will import, but their masked adjustments have no effect, because masking itself is a paid (Premium) feature. For those four you need Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop, or a paid mobile plan.
Your photographs RAW (NEF, CR3 and so on), JPEG and phone photographs all take the presets. RAW simply has more tonal headroom, so the haze falls more smoothly.
White balance None of the 30 writes white balance. There is no temperature or tint key in the files at all, so your camera's setting and your own adjustment survive untouched.
Exposure Written, because the lift is part of each look. Adjust it after applying if the frame needs it.
Crop and lens corrections Never written. Your composition and your distortion correction stay as they are.

Lightroom and Camera Raw are products of Adobe Inc. This pack is not supplied, endorsed or supported by Adobe.

HOW TO USE

Three steps

1
Download
The download email arrives right after checkout. Save the ZIP. Lightroom on a computer and Lightroom on a phone can both, in most cases, import the ZIP as it is. Unzip it only if that does not work (on iPhone, long-press the file in Files and choose Uncompress).
2
Import into Lightroom
On a computer (Lightroom Classic or desktop): Presets panel "+" → Import Profiles & Presets → choose the ZIP, or the unzipped folder.
On a phone: open a photo, then Edit → Presets → "…" → Import Presets. Method A — select the ZIP as it is. If that does not work, Method B — unzip it and select the .xmp files inside (several at once). Behaviour varies between devices and app versions, so try B if A does not work.
Whichever route you take, they appear as five groups.
3
Apply, then set exposure
Click a preset name with a photograph selected. Begin with "01 Light Haze". Move the exposure to suit that frame, and it is done.
FAQ

Questions

I only have the free Lightroom mobile app. Can I use these?
Yes. The free Lightroom mobile app imports .xmp presets, and there are two ways in.
Method A (simplest): open a photo, go to Edit → Presets → "…" → Import Presets, and select the ZIP as it is. On an iPhone we have seen all 30 arrive in one go this way.
Method B (if A does not work): unzip the download first — on iPhone, long-press the file in the Files app and choose Uncompress — then use the same menu and select the .xmp files (several at once).
Behaviour varies between devices and app versions, so if A does not work for you, try B. Twenty-six of the thirty then work exactly as intended. Only the four Just One Part presets (17–20) fall short: they import, but their masked local adjustments have no effect, because masking is a Premium-only feature on mobile. For those four you need Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop, or a paid Lightroom mobile plan. Please take this into account before buying.
How is this different from the Digital Download ($7 per photograph)?
The Digital Download is the finished photograph itself — an image file, for wallpaper and personal prints. This pack is the develop settings, applied to photographs you took. No photographs are included.
Will one click give me the same result as the prints you sell?
No. Each finished photograph carries local adjustments, a crop and a white balance chosen for that one frame. A preset is the starting point. The three-stage examples above (RAW → preset only → finished) show precisely where the preset's work ends.
Do they work on phone photographs?
Yes, on RAW and JPEG alike. RAW has more tonal headroom, so highlights hold better and the haze falls more smoothly.
Can I use the edited photographs commercially?
Yes. Your photographs, with these presets applied, are yours to use personally or commercially. What is not allowed is redistributing, reselling or sharing the preset files themselves, or repackaging them as another preset product. See the digital product licence for the full terms.
Is there a bundle discount or a sale?
No. The pack is $15.00, always. It does not join the 3-or-more bundle discount on photograph downloads, and it does not count toward free shipping (nothing is shipped).
How long is the download link valid?
The link in your email works for 72 hours and up to 10 downloads. Please save the file within that window. If anything goes wrong, get in touch.
Can I return it?
Because this is a download, purchases cannot be returned or refunded. If the download itself fails for a technical reason we will of course sort it out — contact us. Full terms are on the shipping & legal information page.
Thirty feels like a lot to learn.
Learn one first: "01 Light Haze". It keeps some definition while softening the light, and comes closest to the touch the artist returns to most often. If it feels too strong, try 04; if you want a deeper veil, try 03. That is enough for everyday photographs. Open the others as the season or subject changes.

Photographing well and being moved
are not the same thing.
