Faded Print and Old Stock, a box of rolls past their date

Shot late, stored badly, loved anyway.

Two collections of expired film in one download: the cool matte fade of a print left in the light, and the green-and-magenta crossover of stock shot years past its date. Works in the free Lightroom app on iPhone and Android, and in Lightroom Classic.

For vintage and matte-look creators who know what a fridge full of old rolls looks like.

Cool fade, the harbour at dawn

Faded Print is what a print does when it lives on a shelf in daylight. The shadows go milky, the black never reaches the floor, the colour drains and turns cyan. The set starts at Cyan Wash and runs through the kinds of neglect: window light, an attic box, a corner-mounted album page, fixer left in the paper, a metallic silver cast for overcast streets. Milk Shadow lifts the toe highest; Storage Sleeve stays restrained enough to grade again afterwards.

Old Stock is the other fate. Film kept too long crosses over: green in the shadows, magenta in the highlights, grain gone coarse. Expired Roll is the reference. Emulsion Age carries the heaviest grain in the box; Fridge Shelf only hints at age; Heat Fog lifts the blacks under a magenta ceiling the way a roll left in a hot car does. Moss Tint and Lichen Patch lean green for woodland and stone.

Four drawers: the cool fade, the album, the crossover, the grain. Every preset is filed on the same four frames, a forecourt, a motel door, two friends on a bench and a harbour at dawn, so you can tell the fades apart before you choose one.

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on real photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.

questions

Asked and Answered

Which one is the everyday matte fade?

Cyan Wash, from Faded Print. It is the cool matte with milky shadows that people mean when they say faded. Reach for Old Stock when you want the colour crossed as well as drained.

Is the grain real?

It is Lightroom's own grain, set per preset from fine to coarse, and it stays a slider. Emulsion Age and Spool Rust carry the most; Fridge Shelf and Storage Sleeve the least.

Do these work in the free Lightroom app?

Yes. Import the .xmp files in the free Lightroom app on iPhone or Android, no subscription needed. They also work in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on desktop.

What exactly do I get?

All 36 presets from Faded Print + Old Stock as .xmp files in an instant ZIP download. The link also lands in your email, and the purchase stays in your account so you can re-download any time.

How do I install them?

Two minutes: unzip, then import inside Lightroom. The step-by-step guide covers iPhone, Android, and desktop.

Can I use them for client work?

Yes. The single-user license covers personal and commercial photography. The one thing you can't do is share or resell the preset files themselves.

Can I tweak a preset after applying it?

Always. A preset is a starting point; every slider stays yours to adjust.

What if it's not for me?
