Soft and Dreamy Xiaomi Presets for Lifestyle Photos
Walkthrough of low contrast pastel Xiaomi presets and shooting tips for lifestyle moments
The dreamy look isn’t just overexposing everything. It’s a cocktail of gentle highlights, muted shadows, and creamy colors. Xiaomi preset packs can bottle that vibe so your bedroom, café, and stay-at-home scenes look like an editorial.
What defines the style
- Lower contrast curve with a slight lift in blacks.
- Pastel-toned HSL adjustments, especially desaturated greens and soft pinks.
- Reduced clarity to keep backgrounds buttery.
Presets that nail it
- Cloud Cushion – Raises exposure +0.2 while tapering blues so window light stays airy.
- Macaron Latte – Adds peach to midtones and trims yellow cast from café lamps.
- Sunday Linen – Pulls saturation out of greens and highlights neutrals for minimalist bedrooms.
Shooting tips for extra softness
- Chase backlight: let the sun or a lamp sit behind your subject, then let the preset lift the haze.
- Keep props simple—white bedding, clear mugs, neutral outfits. Dreamy presets fall apart with busy patterns.
- If highlights clip, lower intensity of the preset by 15% rather than dragging exposure down; you keep the pastel palette intact.
Dial these in and even a cup of tea on a messy desk suddenly looks like it belongs on Pinterest.
