LOS ANGELES, November 10, 2026: PixelTools, the color grading tools company founded by colorist Jason Bowdach, designed 11 Style Presets for the launch of Color Mode in Adobe Premiere. Adobe invited a select group of creators and colorists to build the first looks, and PixelTools' Product Pop is featured on Adobe's Style Presets page, alongside looks from Peter McKinnon, Adrian Per, Milky Tran and Ryan Connolly.

Style Presets are pre-authored looks inside Color Mode. Each one sells individually on Adobe Stock. Adobe's free trial includes 10 Color Mode Style Presets.

We're thrilled to finally bring our artist-loved presets to the Adobe ecosystem, and to design entirely unique looks with the Style system in Color Mode. What surprised me most was how versatile the Style modules are. I loved how I could push Film Color bold or keep it subtle, then shape the contrast curve further with Contrast Kit. Like our PowerGrades, every look stays fully adjustable, so you can tailor it to your specific project, unlike a pre-baked LUT.

My favorites are 35mm Print and Hollywood Split, tasteful takes on looks my clients often ask for. Now you can use well-designed looks built by a professional colorist on anything from high-budget brand work to your next YouTube video.

Thanks to my friends Jason Druss at Adobe, who brought us onto the project, and Alexis Van Hurkman, whose team designed the Color Mode panel and the Style system. Building looks on a system made by a fellow colorist was a treat.

How a Style Preset works in Color Mode

Each Style Preset is a stack of Style modules. 35mm Print starts with Film Color, which pairs a film negative with a print stock and adds controls for strength, highlights and shadows, then shapes the curve with Contrast Kit.
