View preview images above in full screen for sharp, detailed examples

Remastered for 2022 and beyond + Lightroom Mobile support
(free update for existing purchasers)
Newly improved with better colour rendition, lowered peak contrast and skintone protection, for more aesthetically pleasing results and an up-to-date look that retains the original style of URBAN CHROME, plus support for Lightroom Mobile.

27x Lightroom edit styles
Inspired by urban Japan and Asia, these Adobe Lightroom presets offer a professional base to edit your images of any genre, for a unique and eye-catching style.

These presets follow on from the highly popular URBAN CHROME vol.1 and are stylistically created to assist more with night time cinematic looking shots, as well as regular everday urban scenes.

Perfect for editing images from urban destinations such as:
Japan
Thailand
Korea
Taiwan
Hong Kong
Philippines
Australia
China
Indonesia
Malaysia
and many others…

Compatible with ALL cameras
With heavy attention to the cleanliness and shininess of urban Japan, these presets will work exceptionally well across all camera manufacturers, including Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Sony and more.

Though inspired by Japan and Asia, these presets will also work very well with multiple photo styles from around the world.

How to use
Simply follow the included instruction PDF to load the presets into Lightroom. With your selected image in the develop mode, click the chosen preset from the presets panel on the left, to apply a unique look.

For best results, due to every image being different, apply these presets first and further tweak exposure settings as necessary. These presets should be used for tonality and colour variations primarily, with further adjustments to take your photos even further!

These presets will still work with JPG photos, although RAW images are recommended, for even greater control.

What's included
There are 27 "looks" in this package (in .xmp and .dng file formats), with each look also offering an (Auto) option that will attempt to correct any incorrect exposure settings automatically. Continue reading for more information and visuals about each set of styles.

Lightroom Mobile support
Alongside the desktop version of these Lightroom presets, there are .dng files for use as Lightroom mobile presets. Full installation instructions are provided for use without the need for a Lightroom subscription.

Fujifilm bonus!
As an added bonus for Fujifilm shooters, each of the looks is also available in a variation specific for Fujfilm cameras for that extra film simulation magic! (Raw photos only)
