FILM III

FILM III Preset — a single-click cool-toned film look for road trips and blue hour

The gist: A single, focused preset (not a pack) that gives travel shots a cool, film-inspired mood — built by a landscape photographer who shoots the American West.

• One preset, one job: unlike a multi-look pack, FILM III is a single DNG preset built around atmospheric blues and greens, so there's no guessing which look to pick for a given shot.
• Tuned for the light travelers actually shoot in: the creator's own listing says it "pairs well with blue hour, overcast days, and everything in between" — the exact lighting most road-trip and hiking photos are taken in.
• Best with cool-toned images: works best on shots that are already cool-toned (mountains, coastlines, moody skies) rather than warm desert or golden-hour scenes.
• Made by a Western-landscape specialist: creator Emilie Hofferber is a Utah-based film and digital photographer whose stated interests are "pastel skies, the moon, and the wild landscapes of the American West."

Hofferber's own product page describes the preset as giving photos "a dreamy film aesthetic" that "transforms photos to memories with a hint of adventure" — a mood built specifically around wanderlust imagery.

Best for: travelers photographing mountains, coastlines, or overcast/blue-hour scenes who want one reliable film-style grade. Skip it if: you shoot mostly warm, golden-hour, or desert scenes — this preset is built for cool tones. Runs ~$15 — check the current price before buying.
