Liminal Space Preset Pack (Casey Cavanaugh) — a professional colorist's toolkit for a distinctive editing niche

The gist: A $37 pack of 23 Lightroom presets from a working colorist, giving freelance photographers a ready-made, mysterious/cinematic style to differentiate their editing niche.

• Made by a professional colorist: creator Casey Cavanaugh runs the [Gx]Ace preset studio and has an established following on YouTube, Instagram, and Patreon — a credential worth referencing when pitching a distinctive editing style.
• 23 presets, not one look: a refined collection built over time gives range for different assignments rather than a single locked-in filter.
• Mood-driven editing: designed to surface "a sense of mystery and mood" in ordinary scenes, useful for editorial or fine-art-leaning portrait and event work.
• Diffusion-filter compatible: pairs with diffusion filters like CineBloom for shooters who want to combine in-camera and post-production cinematic effects.

The creator's own site describes the pack's purpose as taking "normal scenes" and revealing "a sense of mystery and mood that was hiding just beneath the surface" — a distinct enough style to serve as a signature look for a freelance portfolio.

Best for: freelance photographers building a moody, cinematic-editorial niche. Skip it if: your client work needs bright, neutral, commercial-standard color. Runs ~$37 — check the current price before buying.
