INSIDE REFINED X CAROLINE TRAN 4.0 PRESETS & PROFILES

The REFINED x Caroline Tran Collection was developed in collaboration with acclaimed photographer Caroline Tran. 

In Caroline’s own words, “For many years the biggest pain point in my business was post-production. I shoot both film and digital and it was always a challenge to get my digital images to match the timeless beauty of my film images. I was stagnant in my work because editing was sucking up so much of my time that I didn't have time or energy left to grow my business and worse? I was losing my passion for photography because I was spending more time behind a computer than a camera. I knew I had to find a solution.

The REFINED x Caroline Tran collection has been around since 2018 and has remained at the core of the REFINED Co brand. A few updates later we have now reached 4.0 and we think it is our best yet!! Stay tuned for a full blog post comparing 4.0 and v3!

This collaborative collection offers an array of distinctive color, black & white, video, and mobile presets that empower you to show off your work with a bold and rich aesthetic. Evolve your look with the flexibility to match a variety of film stocks and edit consistently with varying lighting situations, while maintaining luminous skin tones and film-inspired color and grain.
