As with all of Visual Flow packs, Crush utilizes a patent pending Lighting Condition-Based Development System that takes the guesswork out of processing. All you do is select the appropriate lighting condition based on how the image was shot. From there, simply adjust your Exposure, White Balance, and Contrast to taste. In addition, crush is built over the DVLOP X profile to arrive at more consistent results between different camera brands and models.
Before and After Examples of Crush Pack
To illustrate the key features of the Crush Pack, below are “before and after” examples, created from a single click of the select preset, followed by small exposure and white balance adjustments.
You’ll notice the following key features:
Add Punch of Color to Soft Light Portraiture – Bold colors can often oversaturate and destroy skin tones, resulting in crunchy, unflattering skin details. Crush preserves the color and texture of skin tones while punching up the other colors in the scene. See how the Crush Soft Light Preset works in this example.
Bring Out Eye Catching Blues – Crush delivers intense blues for stunning results, perfect for scenes with water, skies, or other blue tones. See how the following example using the Crush Soft Light Preset.
Create Dramatic Environmental Portraits – The crush presets arrive at intensely vibrant colors that yield incredible environmental portraits. This example uses the HDR Natural Preset within the pack.

“I’ve been looking for a good preset that preserves the timeless aesthetics and works quickly on an image without changing the essence of it. I gave up and had to create my homemade recipes for many years. After trying Visual Flow presets I knew we were onto something awesome and I fell in love with the Crush Preset as it has the contrast and results I’ve been looking for all this time. One click = awesome look.”
