Kaikōura New Zealand

Aurora

🌌 Aurora

Best for: Aurora displays, night skies and colourful atmospheric landscapes.

  • Start by adjusting Exposure to bring out the aurora without losing the depth of the night sky.
  • Lower Highlights if the aurora or stars become too bright.
  • Lift Shadows carefully to reveal the foreground while keeping the sky dark.
  • Adjust Temperature to control the overall mood — cooler tones can emphasise greens and blues.
  • If the colours become too intense, reduce Saturation slightly.
  • For a stronger aurora, try a small increase in Contrast or Texture.
  • Every aurora image is different, so use this preset as a starting point and fine-tune from there.
