Soft Spectrum

A soft-focus duotone grade with noise and selective blur for psychedelic colour relationships.

Duotone posters and soft-focus portraiture both simplify colour into a few relationships. Soft Spectrum builds that atmosphere with noise, a custom duotone, depth falloff and finishing curves.

It flatters faces and botanicals when kept modest and turns theatrical when pushed.
