Okay, real talk: when we first launched The Storey Collection, I thought Dream On would be a favorite. I've been SO excited to watch it become a Kindred Presets bestseller. It was no surprise to us that approximately 10 minutes after Imagen became a thing I started getting DMs like "WHEN IS THIS COMING TO AI?"
So here we are. You asked, we delivered. You're welcome.
Dream On was born from my full-blown obsession with Fuji 400H film back when it was still in production. Those peachy, glowing skin tones? That soft, buttery contrast that makes everything look like a daydream? I wanted to bottle that feeling and make it accessible to everyone, because not everyone can afford to shoot film.
When I edit with Dream On, I'm not trying to make things perfect. I'm trying to make them feel something. Skin tones stay peachy and luminous... warm without crossing into orange territory, glowing without looking fake. Contrast is soft, never harsh. Shadows keep their depth, highlights stay airy and romantic. It's that sweet spot where nothing feels overworked but everything feels intentional.
And the color? Chef's kiss. Peachy warmth lives in everything...the skin, the light, even the way greens soften into sage and golds turn into honey. Reds lean coral and romantic instead of aggressive. Blues take on this dreamy, watercolor vibe. The whole thing feels cohesive and film-inspired, like you're stepping into a memory instead of just looking at a photo.
I handle light like it's sacred. Golden hour glow? Yes. Soft overcast light? Also yes. Backlit moments stay dreamy without losing detail. Indoor scenes get this romantic, candlelit quality. It's all about embracing warmth while keeping that delicate, ethereal thing going.
This profile isn't about making pretty pictures... it's about making people feel things. It's for the photographers who lead with their hearts, who want their galleries to feel like love stories. Dream On has been helping photographers do exactly that since day one, and now the AI version makes it stupid easy.
So yeah. If you've been waiting for this, welcome to the party. It's about time.
