Couture Profiles + Intensity Enabled Tools
- Description
The Evolution of Editorial. Precision Meets Artistry.
Where Prêt-à-Porter is effortless elegance, Couture is the masterstroke—designed for photographers who demand depth, dimension, and nuanced control in every frame. Think of it as a precision scalpel to Prêt-à-Porter’s chef’s knife—crafted for dynamic lighting, editorial polish, and sculpted color refinement.
Couture is the natural next step for any photographer purchasing The Editorial Edit presets one pack at a time. Just as its name suggests, it is form-fitted, purposeful, and unapologetically defined in its aesthetic. Each profile is meticulously tuned to target a specific, refined look, offering deep, cinematic color treatment that enhances skin tone, contrast, and overall tonal harmony. Yet, despite its strong point of view, Couture remains surprisingly versatile—its adaptability lies in the Profile Intensity Slider, which allows photographers to seamlessly dial in just the right level of refinement. This is exactly how most users work with Couture—sculpting their edits with precision while maintaining full control.
One of the collection’s primary strengths is its ability to correct skin tone challenges while sculpting deep, rich tones into a naturally olive-tan hue that flatters a wide range of complexions. Many of its presets double as problem solvers for challenging lighting conditions, ensuring photographers maintain consistency, balance, and editorial polish even in difficult shooting scenarios.
With rich, olive-toned skin balance and seamless adaptability across both modern and nostalgic aesthetics, Couture delivers a look that is timeless, yet undeniably bold. Partnered with the Cellulose tools, this collection brings an unmistakable depth, luxury, and cinematic tonality to your work.

ABOUT THE PRESET CREATOR
Paul Von Rieter is a Fujifilm global ambassador and a celebrated film and digital medium-format editorial photographer known for his refined color work, cinematic tonal accuracy, and unapologetic love of direct flash. His imagery has taken him around the world photographing remarkable people in remarkable places, and his approach to color science has quietly become a benchmark for photographers seeking a modern, editorial aesthetic.
All photographers know the same quiet frustration Paul once faced: the image in your mind looks editorial, polished, and cinematic… but the color coming out of Lightroom never fully matches that vision. As a film-born artist working in both film and digital medium format, Paul knew exactly how he wanted his work to feel—clean skin, natural greens, honest color, and that unmistakably elevated editorial finish. But no preset on the market delivered what he saw in his head.
He tried everything.
He even collaborated with several leading preset companies, hoping the right partnership could translate his aesthetic into reliable tools. The results always fell short. The technology simply couldn’t produce the depth, accuracy, or consistency he demanded from his own work.
So Paul took a different path—one grounded in curiosity, discipline, and a need to understand color at its core.
He stepped away from the existing preset landscape entirely and immersed himself in color science. For months he worked in near isolation, studying a thousand-page text, working on a perfectly calibrated display, and consulting with some of the world’s foremost color scientists. After more than 45,000 RAW test files—spanning nearly every major camera system—he uncovered something no preset brand had achieved.
To create truly editorial color, he had to build the palette outside Adobe’s ecosystem first.
Only after crafting those tones from scratch could he then engineer them back into Lightroom’s architecture, coaxing the software into rendering color more beautifully, faithfully, and intentionally than it was ever designed to.
That breakthrough became The Editorial Edit.
Every preset pack Paul releases is rooted in that same process—ground-up, film-inspired tools crafted for photographers who care about intention, precision, and modern editorial nuance. These aren’t generic filters or shortcuts. They are the exact tools Paul uses to create the work that defined his career.
Today, The Editorial Edit is used by thousands of photographers around the world who want their images to look deliberate, elevated, and memorable—matching the vision they see in their mind with the color they see on their screen.
Your work deserves to look as striking and intentional as it feels. The Editorial Edit exists to make that possible.
