Every example was exported from Photonica at full preset strength. Originals are the source photographs before Photonica, and may already include the photographer’s edits. Results vary with the light and colour in your photo.

All eighteen presets use free tools. Guest editing includes three exports a day; a free account removes that daily limit and lets you save your own presets.
