Below Surface Presets

Under the Surface is a focused preset duo made for underwater explorers, snorkelers, and ocean lovers. Designed to bring clarity, colour, and balance back into underwater images, these presets help cut through blue casts while keeping skin tones natural and water rich.

Because underwater light shifts constantly, this pack is intentionally flexible—giving you a strong starting point with room to fine-tune depending on depth, visibility, and sunlight.

What’s included:

• Salt & Skin – Designed for deeper water and richer tones. This preset enhances contrast and depth while keeping skin tones warm and believable, even in darker or more saturated underwater conditions.

• Blue Depths – Lighter, softer, and more rounded. Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and shallower ocean scenes, with balanced blues and flattering skin tones that feel clean and natural.

Tips for best results (underwater editing is personal):

• Start by adjusting the Blues in the Colour panel. Small tweaks to saturation and luminance go a long way.

• If your water feels too heavy or flat, gently adjust Aqua and Green tones depending on the environment.

• Don’t be afraid to fine-tune exposure and contrast. Underwater light varies wildly, and these presets are designed to adapt with you.
