Mood in the Dark: The NTVS & NGT Preset Series

When Night Begins to Speak

When the light fades, the city reveals a different side of itself. Flickering neon signs, streaks of car lights, and reflections on glass windows—each element holds a deeper story under the cover of night.

A Familiar Filter, Reimagined for the Night

Retrica’s newest preset series, NTVS0# & NGT00#, was designed to capture the quiet emotions of these nighttime moments.

This series began with one of Retrica’s beloved filters: the Pistachio LUT. Known for its vintage green tone, Pistachio was reinterpreted by lowering its intensity and infusing a softer, more nostalgic film-like mood.

Not Just Light-But Mood

In cities like Seoul, nighttime scenes are often overly bright—dominated by glowing signs and lit-up buildings. Smartphone cameras tend to brighten these scenes even more, sometimes stripping away the emotional depth and leaving cold, clinical images.

That’s exactly what the NTVS and NGT presets were made to fix.

Light That Lingers, Shadows That Speak

Original / NTVS04 – 50%

They keep the light alive while letting the shadows deepen. By gently lowering the exposure, they bring subtle warmth and calm to your night shots—without losing detail.

For Every Kind of Night

The series includes a total of 10 presets (5 NTVS / 5 NGT), each designed for different lighting conditions and moods. From cozy indoor spaces with LED or candlelight, to the sparkling streets or colorful skies at dusk—these presets create just the right contrast, soften harsh lights, and add emotion to the darkness.

For Those Who See the Night Differently

Original / NGT003 – 70%
