What Flash looks like

Compact film cameras with built-in flashes produce a distinctive look: bright, contrasty subjects, saturated color and a sense of being right there in the moment. Flash recreates that energy.

It works best on photos of people at night or indoors, especially ones taken with your phone's flash.

  • Lower Highlights if faces are too bright.
  • Try G200 for the same nostalgia in daylight.

How to use Flash

  1. Click Try Flash on your photo. The editor opens with Flash ready.
  2. Choose a photo, RAW files included. The look is applied as soon as it opens.
  3. Adjust Filter strength on the Filters tab, and fine-tune with the Adjust tab.
  4. Save it as JPEG, PNG, WebP or TIFF on the Save tab.

Use Flash 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.
