You can certainly apply the generic “Standard” presets to images shot on other cameras, and they still do a neat job, but the effect won’t be as faithful to the original film you’re looking to emulate. A Fuji preset for 02 is apparently in the works. They currently have Canon and Nikon camera profiles for all three packs, and in something of a first, they also have Fuji presets for 01 and 03. It should be noted that the real strength of VSCO is, in my opinion, their combination of both camera profiles and presets. VSCO does offer a loyalty discount, so if you buy one of the packs, the others are available for a discount, bringing the price for all three packs under $300. There is a normal version that is, according to VSCO, the most faithful representation of what that particular film would look like for the image you’re working on, a “-“ version that tones the effect down somewhat, a “+” version that ratchets the effect up, and a “++” version that pushes it even further.Įach of the three packs is sold separately, and is priced at $119, making VSCO’s collection the most expensive of the lot here. Every film is made available in four presets. Each adds a number of specific films to the roster of available emulsions, building on the previous version. There are currently three collections available 01, 02, and 03.
VSCO Presets and Camera Profiles in Lightroom These aren’t by ANY MEANS all the apps out there that allow you to emulate film, but they are the four that do offer both color and B&W film emulation. With that simple ground rule in place, I settled on four apps to look over. There are a number of apps today that can apply that vintage look, but that, to me, is not the same as truly emulating film. Although I’ve liked the look and feel of “vintage” filters that mimic (but not truly reproduce or emulate) old films, I made the conscious decision to seek apps and add-ons that seek to reproduce the look of black-and-white, color negative, slide, and instant film emulsions produced currently and in the past. I decided that I wanted the look and feel of “real” emulsions like Ilford HP5 or Kodak Portra. I’ll run you through the faves and you can decide for yourself what might suit you well…įor the past year or so, I’ve cycled various plugins and applications through my workflow, trying to find the right add-ons that bring the response curves and grain of old film back into digital images. We can all love digital photography just as much, however, so finding a happy medium is the task of this post. As the man said, the “look” of film isn’t something we are willing to part with….(and we’re not talking the vintage filters on your iphone or droid.) Some of this comes from an old-school love of grain some of it has to do with the fact that we just love the way film renders tonality and color.
And no doubt you all will have some other tricks not covered here to add…
#SILVER EFEX PRO 2 VS DXO FILMPACK SOFTWARE#
In my studio we use a lot of digital tools to get this look and it seems there ar always new software toys emerging for this very job… But since I’m out on assignment now, I can’t think of a better guy to walk you through a handful of the very best options than my pal Sohail.
#SILVER EFEX PRO 2 VS DXO FILMPACK HOW TO#
Well, if you’ve ever been in a pickle over how to get the speed of digital with the look of film, join the crowd.
I’m often dragging around my Polaroid 600, my Hassie 500cm, some Lomo stuff (or these other film cameras)… but it’s next to impossible to have clients get fired up to shoot film in a professionals setting. A lot of us still shoot film for love and for fun.
