AI reference frame for the Sony recipe Faded Summer Reverie
This image is an AI reference frame: Luma generates it alongside the recipe to show the mood being aimed at. No photograph here was taken with these settings, and it is not a sample of what your camera will produce. The settings values are the real thing.

A sun-bleached vintage recipe that captures the languid, slightly overexposed feel of old summer photographs from the 1970s. The late-season haze is baked right into the look — warm amber midtones, lifted shadows, and softened color depth mimic aged film stock left in a hot car. Ideal for street scenes, market stalls, crowded boardwalks, and any urban environment saturated with end-of-summer atmosphere. The IN (Instant) creative look provides a natural fade while the reduced sharpness and boosted fade setting dissolve harsh edges into a soft, sun-drenched glow.
