Infrared Red Presets

Put the ‘red’ in infrared with these unique infrared-style presets! Designed to enhance the reds in your photos and make that color the focus, these presets are inspired by infrared film stocks like Kodak Aerochrome. The color grading creates the look of infrared sensitivity where only certain tones come out saturated while the rest are desaturated – in this case, that’s the reds of the photo!
