    PixelPeeper found embedded camera settings and Lightroom edits. The soft, matte look comes largely from the tone curve and selective color adjustments.

    Lifted blacks, airy highlights. The curve lifts the black point from 0 to 50, softening the deepest shadows. Raised upper tones and +0.40 exposure help keep the image bright.

    Muted surroundings, standout colors. Yellow saturation is reduced to −76, blue to −72, and green to −37. This helps the red cup and purple flowers stand out against the quieter background.

    To try a similar look: lift the black point, brighten gently, and selectively mute competing colors instead of lowering saturation everywhere.

Actual settings from this sample. Available details depend on the photo.
