Asphalt, a free dark natural urban filter
Asphalt is a darker, natural city look: warm highlights, olive greens and solid shadows.
What Asphalt looks like
Asphalt deepens the shadows and warms the highlights while turning greens olive. The result feels grounded and natural, like a city at the end of the day.
It suits street and travel photos with strong light and shadow, and it gives bright phone photos a richer, more serious tone.

Use Asphalt on video and in Lightroom
You can take this look into other apps. Open it, then on the Save tab download it as a LUT (.cube) for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut or CapCut, with versions for log footage, or as a Lightroom profile with an Amount slider. Both carry the look's color; add grain and glow in the other app.
